Might not have enough time to catch Philadelphia due to -6.5 games back but with Cleveland?

We're only 4.5 back of Cleveland for the 4th seed.

We've got 1 game against them.

Hypothetically speaking we're -3.5 back of Cleveland (including the W over them).

From there on out?

Cleveland loses 2 in a row?
Knicks win 2 in a row?

And we're literally 1.0 back with potentially 10+ games remaining aka potential dog fight.

You're looking at it from a micro view, macro view is always better.

Like I say, Cleveland is a .628 team over 3/4's of a season. Even if they went 11-10, that means 17-5 for the Knicks, regardless of the common game. Give to the Knicks and we're still talking 11-9 and 16-5.

Those are looong odds. Verrrrrry long on the Knicks side and pretty long on the Cavs side.

I'm not telling anything other than the odds here.

I lied.

The Knicks aren't -1.0 back of Cleveland with only 10 games remaining.

The Knicks are actually only -1.0 games back of Cleveland and with still another 17 games to go too.

On February 23rd (only 9 days ago) we were -4.5 back of your "untouchable" Cleveland Cavaliers but yet only 9 days later and it's only -1.0 back of their 4th seed.

I think you're computer calculators simulators robots are clueless about not only basketball but also our 2023 Knicks too.

What's the simulations odds for 4th seed now 😅🤫😭

I'm asking for a friend.

1st 11 Games (following All-Star Weekend):
1.) @ Washington = Win.
2.) Vs. Pelicans = Win.
3.) Vs. Celtics = Win.
4.) vs. Nets = Win.
5.) @ Miami = Win.

6.) @ Boston (Sunday @ 7:30).

7.) vs Hornets.
8.) @ Sacramento.
9.) @ Los Angeles Clippers.
10.) @ Los Angeles Lakers.
11.) @ Portland.

Eastern Conference Standings:
1.) Milwaukee Bucks = 45-17 (.726%).
2.) Boston Celtics = 45-19 (.703%). -1.0.

3.) Philadelphia 76ers = 40-22 (.645%). -5.0.

4.) Cleveland Cavaliers = 39-26 (.600%). -7.5
5.) NEW YORK KNICKS = 38-27 (.585%). -8.5.

Saturday Games Tomorrow:
Milwaukee (1) vs. 76ers (3).
Cleveland (4) vs. Pistons.

Miami (7) vs. Hawks (8).

Bonus = Washington Wizards (now 10th seed) vs. Raptors (Washington is now in the Play-In).

Another Philadelphia loss @ Milwaukee tomorrow and it's only -3.0 back of the 3 seed.

That's it.
That's the entire deal.
You just don't understand that.

Well we're just going to have to see about that because recent struggles of Philly and Cleveland are happening in the Knick of time.

Always pleasant when someone makes my point for me. You clearly didn't understand a word of what you just responded to.

Knickoftime wrote:I bet YOU were feeling pretty good about 60 wins after 5-1 last year. Right on target

You keep trying to use this against me in a mocking way. It's not helpful you. It proves my point.

No, it doesn't. It demonstrates you completely miss the point.

I'm going to try again. because I'm nice like that.

Now some casual NBA fan this week might say, 'sure, the Knicks are playing good and Brunson is playing good right now, but who knows how Brunson will play in the postseason, when the game is very different?'

In such a case, it helps if you remember that Brunson played in the postseason last year, with the weight of this team on his shoulders, and played great.

The point being - history matters. History is useful. History is instructive.

How Jalen Brunson performed in a similar situation in the past has utility in determining Jalen Brunson's abilities and potential performance now.

Your judgment and demonstration of your understanding of and ability to evaluate NBA basketball in the past helps us understand your ability to understand and evaluate NBA basketball now.

It isn't mocking, it's your career stat line.

Get over yourself.

And stop paying the victim.

I was just missing an elite PG Jalen Brunson instead of an Elf or Burks etc

They have Brunson now, they're not going to win anywhere close to 60 games. The Bucks are on a 16 game win streak and they're not even on a 60 win pace.

What was true last year is still true today. You don't understand what winning 60 of 82 games is.

And I'm also maybe only 1-1.5 years too soon to reach my 60+ vision because we were only a Jalen Brunson away before aJosh Hart away from a chance @ 52-53+ this year.

Again, always pleasant when someone makes my point for me.

60 wins wasn't a prediction. It wasn't analysis. It was a fantasy, a "vision." Someone you want to happen, and 60 was a round number you picked arbitrarily.

For whatever reason that's 100% your right, NBA basketball to you is about YOU. You've created a "brand" that requires you to be THE MOST optimistic Knicks fan.

And you're clearly articulated that my posts have been threatening to the 'work you put into' this thread.

Is that "mocking" you?

That's up to you to decide.

Answer my one and only (1) question (in bold).

How far back of the Cleveland Cavaliers were our Knicks (for the 4th seed) when you first introduced me to your AI computer simulators?

4.5 games back, Right?
9 days ago, Right?

But now how many game(s) back are the New York Knicks from the Eastern Conference 4th Seeded Cleveland Cavaliers for the 4 seed (as of right now)?

How many games back, exactly?

The answer (I'll answer for you) is only -1.0 back of Cleveland for that 4th seed

-1.0 back and that's all folks.

There's your answer man.

Knicks vs. Cavs.

Etc.

Just don't expect for others to agree with that basketball take of yours.

Because I've got my computerized calculations and $ on New York (passing Cleveland) for that 4th seed.

And sooner rather than later too (still another 18 games remaining).

Just as these kids of NY has (recently) done while going from the 7th seed to now only 1.0 back of the 4th seed after flying right past both Miami and Brooklyn, distanced themselves from all of Atlanta (and everyone else) and right now on the trails of both Cleveland (-1.0) and Philadelphia (-3.5) for both the 4th and 3rd seeds.

I don't believe in no "17%".

What does "17%" even mean as of today?

🔹11-2 previous 13 games (.846%).

🔹9-1 previous 10 games (.900%).

🔹5-0 since getting Mitchell Robinson back (.1000%).

🔹8 game undefeated winning streak @ 8-0 (since dating back to our Josh Hart trade).

🔹The New York Knicks haven't lost not even a single game (8-0) dating back to February 10 @ Philadelphia (22 days ago).

The Cleveland Cavaliers (ladies and gentlemen) are currently 1-4 throughout only their previous 5 games and now only 1.0 ahead of New York for the 4th seed

"17%" is just a laughing stock joke (imo).

I don't think this Head Coach nor these kids of New York (who coach and play the game of basketball) would agree with this computerized "17.4%" either 🤷‍♂️

27% chance of finishing 4 or higher.

-1.0 behind Cleveland.

(Getting ready to watch their 7:30 game @ home vs. the 15-48 Detroit Pistons as -16.0 favorites @ 7:30 tonight).

🔹13-4 (previous 17) .764%.

🔹11-2 (previous 13) .846%.

🔹10-1 (previous 11) .909%.

🔹5-0 (undefeated) since the return of Mitch @ 100%.

1.) Jazz
2.) Nets x1
3.) Hawks
4.) Wizard
5.) Pelicans
6.) Celtics
7.) Nets x2
8.) Heat

9._

And we'll only be -3.0 games back of the 76ers for the 3rd seed after their loss @ Milwaukee tonight.

With a chance to make it only -2.5 with an NY win @ Boston tomorrow night.

You are kind of just posting the same post in response to everyone.

Are you implying that we will win the next 10 straight? It’s possible, but unlikely.

Are you suggesting that it’s a much higher percentage that we catch Cleveland cause we are the hotter team? It’s possible. I actually think we will catch Cleveland.

Thing is, I don’t really understand your response because it’s not keyed to anything.

Games Tonight:
8:30: Milwaukee (1) vs. 76ers (3).
7:30: Cleveland (4) vs. Pistons.
8:00: Miami (7) vs. Hawks (8).

I couldn't care less what happens between Miami/Atlanta but a Cleveland loss and we're -0.5 back of the 4th seed + 76ers loss and we're -3.0 back of the 3rd seed.

Why are you expecting Cleveland to lose to Detroit?

Who said anything about "expecting"?

But for what it's worth Cleveland is 1-4 previous 5 and don't deserve a "free win" against anyone right now.

Well, Cle won by 14. Guess that wasn’t so unexpected.

6.) @ Boston = Tonight @ 7:30.

7.) Vs. Hornets.
8.) @ Sacramento.
9.) @ Los Angeles (Clippers).
10.) @ Los Angeles (Lakers).
11.) @ Portland.

Not a good off day of Knicks basketball last night due to both Philadelphia and Cleveland winning but tonight we'll have an opportunity to even the score (with both Cleveland/Philadelphia having dayoffs tonight).

NBA's Top 8 Teams
1.) Milwaukee = 45-18 (.714%).
2.) Boston = 45-19 (.703%). -0.5.
2.) Denver = 45-19 (.703%). -0.5.

4.) Philadelphia = 41-22 (.651%). -4.0.

5.) Memphis = 38-24 (.613%). -6.5.
6.) Cleveland = 40-26 (.606%). -6.5.
7.) Sacramento = 37-26 (.587%). -8.0.
8.) New York = 38-27 (.585%). -8.0.

New York Knicks are literally only -1.5 games back of an overall TOP-5 NBA RECORD.

GAMES TODAY:
Bucks (1) @ Washington.
Boston (2) vs. Knicks (8).
Grizzlies (5) @ Los Angeles Clippers.

(Denver, Philadelphia, Cleveland and Sacramento = off-nights).

An NYK win over BOS (tonight) would then leapfrog NY over Sacramento from the NBA's 8th best to 7th best.

No, have to respond to this first.

It isn't 'AI'.

But you don't understand that.

But now how many game(s) back are the New York Knicks from the Eastern Conference 4th Seeded Cleveland Cavaliers for the 4 seed (as of right now)?

How many games back, exactly?

1.5

Now you answer this, with citation.

When did anyone one suggest the Knicks couldn't get closer to the Cavs or catch the Cavs?

No, really. Martin has given us a quote feature. Have some self respect, and use it.

Here, I'll show you how it works...

NYKMentality wrote:And we'll only be -3.0 games back of the 76ers for the 3rd seed after their loss @ Milwaukee tonight.

That's how the quote feature works.

You're welcome.

Stop it already.

You entered this thread like a freaking drama queen (just a couple of days ago) with words like "Those are looong odds". And also "Verrrrrry long on the Knicks side and pretty long on the Cavs side"

But now you're returning in order to question me about you being the (only one) who pretending and acted as if Knicks couldn't/wouldn't catch Cleveland (-4.5 back @ the time) due to your "extremely intelligent computerized" SIMULATORS that you've dominated this entire thread with (ever since you've entered).

You're being hypocritical with me by asking me that question of yours about the quote feature regarding those Cleveland Cavaliers.

I remember what you've said and how you've said it too.

You acted like it'll take Albert Einstein rocket science in order to catch Cleveland (1.0 back after tonight).
