Detroit is resting their team and Rip is sitting out the game with an injury. Knicks could win. A win secures the 5th spot with no hope of going any further. A loss wouldn't really do anything but keep up with the other losers playing that day. The game after against the Bobcats is the one to look out for. Right now though, we're playing Detroit on Tuesday night. If we want to have any real shot in the lottery we need to lose, especially with the Clippers only 2 games behind 5th.

we'll win

There is some kind of agenda right now imho with the team's top players[3 of which have huge $$$ deals to possibly think about] who have Isiah's ear and IT probably does not want to end with less wins than LB. As much as it would help the team to have the best chance it can for Rose I don't think it's out of the realm to see us win meaningless games against teams playing at 50% and lose further positioning to the LA Clippers. I have seen very little evidence of us trying to tank[which in the case of the team is worse] and the only games we have won were squeakers to Miami and an Orlando team that was clearly playing with little focus and energy.

Thats GKF's schtick and he's very good at it. Please don't mess with success.

The luck ran out against Orlando.

And it's over. 6th pick here we come. Pistons look like they're going to have another terrible night like the one in NY earlier this year. Knicks will win in a blow out.

I finally got something right.

What can ya say? Chandler's having a monster game.

I'm Ok with it--I like to win when I see some very positive signs like this. We used length on defense to make the Pistons a jumpshooting team and Wilson Chandler emerged and is showing serious signs. You cant make another team win/lose--it's just the flow of the game. I cant fault Wilson Chanlder for going to 20-10 in the first half--I can only be happy about it. This reinforces to me atleast that we dont need a small offensive SG in the draft--but rather I'd like to increase our length. Our guards are not bad players Nate Jamal Jones--I would keep Jones on the cheap. We could use one more two way guard who can shoot a Center who can run block shots and post + a 4 who can play D and run.

I wonder what Donnie's thinking of all this? Well' I'll be happy with a Tyler Hasbrough pick.

Tyler Hansborough? Hell no. The guys ceiling is David Lee.

Well that's the direction we're going, isn't it? I mean we ain't exactly going for Mr. Beasley or Rose are' we? I say that in a nice way.
