Dude is definitely drinking his own cool aid.

We're actually only 2.5 games out of the eighth spot. But this team is only one injury away from a six game losing streak.

A man can dream, can't he?

we're also a Jared Jeffries injury away from a 6 game winning streak... there's always a flip side.

Man, Jeffries is the worst finisher in basketball. Did you see that horrible reverse layup he tried to do that hit the bottom of the rim. It is just sad. But I will say that he defense is stellar. In fact, I think in the win today, he actually was a positive for the team. If his teammates can learn to stop passing to him when he is around the basket, he can be a helpful player.

the team was playing well when he was on the floor so i can't hate on him too much today... but i don't think his defense is that good that it warrants us playing 4 on 5 on the offensive side of the ball every time he's on the floor... would still much rather see Hill getting his minutes.

This happens every year. We're always just a handful of games out of 8th but never make it....and in the final month or two we tank. Why is that? Because playoff bound teams start playing like playoff teams while those who tag along for a while finally break down for good.

You can dream...but it will remain a dream.

I think the idea was to try and get to 40 wins but there are so many East teams off to poor starts that we're still in it. We have enough to get in the race IMO.
As I've said and been bashed for this team has underachieved and even more so this season. It's not shocking to me for this team to start having some success. The talent suggests this team should be fighting for a late playoff spot.

The poor start for Duhon, Chan, Nate & Al made it seem like this team was horrible but now that they playing closer to their normal level you can see that it's not a bad team. Not good but they have a shot to be in the playoff hunt.

For 10 plus years, this team has been one big If: If we had one more player, if our players play up to potential, if if if!

I think David Lee, Al Harrington and Larry Hughes all have big value for a borderline contender right now.

we passed on AI, what makes u think Donnie's gonna make a move to improve the roster? any move will likely take shots away from our young players too... of course, they could change their mind at the trade deadline if this team is in contention.

This is the Layden era v2.0 when it comes to bringing in choir boys and the like. Explains why we passed on Jennings. The thought of having A.I and Nate on the same team probably kept Donnie up at night...till 9 o clock.

You should glad to see the org. Looking to try and bring in players that are smart and professional, along with being talented! Gallo, TD & Hill are good kids with talent! What's wrong with that! Nate has talent but isn't professional. MDA is trying to change the level of focus on this team and guys like Nate undermine that.

if that's the case then forget about bringing Ty Thomas in here, he's another mental midget type player... & Al may be many things but one thing i've never heard him described as is smart... i'm glad the team is playing well & it's great to see Al Harrington being a large part of that success, but i still don't see any future for him on this team... the only way he's gonna be around after this season is if Donnie doesn't get any worthwhile trade offers at the deadline this year & Al agrees to sign an extension at significantly lower than market value... i just don't think the Knicks have it in their plans to extend Al or D Lee any longterm, big money contract extensions.
