Is there anyone else out there--1 person who honestly believes the NY Knicks are making the 2010 playoffs and based on what?

NO. The 8th seed is a .500 team. After our next five games our schedule gets tougher and tougher until it maxes out as brutal. We will be lucky to win 32 games.

It doesn't matter though, for the millionth time, we're REBUILDING and that BUILDING doesn't start until this summer.

This roster wasn't put together with the intent on competing! It was put together with the intent on dumping Isiah's financial mistakes. Nothing more. So cot damn stop pretending we're a playoff team and stop crying about the losses and stop demanding that Walsh make a trade to screw up our cap space.

There isn't a trade to be had that can will this team to the playoffs.

Enough already.

Keep the balance!!!!!

And it is liberating. It means we don't have to clutch onto JJ or Al in hopes of making the playoffs. I hope both get moved before the 18th.

Why Duhon keeps playing big minutes is confusing however. At this point it should be 25 minutes for Duhon and the rest to Douglas and Nate.

But, Well.... whatever Q-Brick did for Larry Brown - Duhon must do for D'Antoni. Similar situation. POS player getting huge minutes to the confusion of...well...the entire world.

Doesn't confuse me. With this roster I think he's their best option. I don't think Nate or TD are better options at PG.

Duhon at least attempts to play the position. With Nate and TD playing a lot of pg I see little to no hope of playing team ball.

Well, yeah, unfortunately Duhon is our best option at PG. Doesn't mean he has to play more than 25 minutes though does it? This system allows for a point forward. Gallo is a point forward. So is Lee.

So why don't we just play the triangle on offense = no need of true pg

No damn clue.

I got no idea.

Because you need Zen Master and Kobe alikes.
We have and instead.

Harrington is Killing the Knicks? He has won 3-4 games all by himself, almost brought the KNicks back by himself against the raptor.

Gallinari does the same thing except not as good and guys are jocking him. IS Gallinari killing the Knicks by start 2 out of every 3 games terribly? By forcing 3s?

Complete double standard.

oohah

you have to hope the young guy will get better, while al, you know what you are gonna get. same goes for hill/td. they have room to not get hammered compared to the vets cuz they are either rookies or basically rookies (dg) with loooow playing time. im willing to give them time to grow and adjust. for vets, we know duhon isnt the answer, jj is a major weakness on off, etc... i dont expect the vets to alter their games and what they bring.
