Boston on Wednesday is a certain loss and the way the Wizards are playing (currently up 30 on Portland) they will likely beat us on Thursday too. Things are going to get worse which is actually probably good news at this point.

The good news is the young guys are contributing. Kuz and Baker were pretty impressive. They need to learn how to contribute before learning how to win. Willy will get his chances too. O'Quinn and Holiday could be keepers. The expectations were clearly too high for this awkward bunch of vets, but the young guys are showing life and should be playing more minutes as the season goes on.

How about the Knicks having three rookies in the rotation without having a draft pick this past year.

Whatever tey rookies are doing they'll get traded on the next starfukk to put "talent around Melo".

Seems like that is a thing of the past. Looks like there is a real effort to build from within that is starting.

Something is going to happen. Hopefully it isn't the same old same old as you suggest.

Three 1pt losses in the past threes weeks. Brutal.

Time to blow it up.

For the sake of our collective sanity I would hope so, but there are two major problems that would keep that scenario from playing out. Dolan and Melo

You make one defensive play or just hold the lead in the final minute of the Milwaukee Philly and Atlanta games and this team is 21-21 and in the playoff 8. What a difference one possession or minute a game can make on the season. We should have won all these games - the three we lost.


It could be a blessing because maybe Dolan would have handed Rose a 5 year 120 million contract. We would have kept Melo. With this losing change is inevitable. We were always just flirting with 45 wins and at best 2nd round playoffs with this core. Now the Knicks may actually rebuild right.

The problem is beyond close losses that could have us closer to the 8th if things had bounced our way or the refs simply did their job. This was a promising roster with an interesting influx of veterans and youngsters coupled with a creative coach to give us hope. And all has been tarnished to the point most of us simply want yet another re-do. Its remarkably sad!

We might never know the truth of what has really sunken this ship, but the point is that it looks like a lost cause. Not only have players stopped trying on defense and gone selfish on offense, but the lack of professionalism in Rose and Melo has killed any hope of a comeback.

I thought this year was finally gonna be different. You tell me we add a healthy Rose, Noah and Lee to a solid Melo and a promising Porzingis with an interesting bench? I was sold. Yet NY always finds a way to go down, get dirty and controversial and lose enough to make it yet another lost season.

We have our picks. We have tradeable assets. That's again a losing silver lining. What else do we have? The talent is there but it seems to be impossible to put them in one place so they win enough to matter. Oh well, might as well lose. I'ts a game we are already used to...

These are my thoughts exactly. I can't see the Knicks moving forward with Melo here.... this was the last Stand for me. I'm looking at the deadline and the draft right now.

WHT Does that mean when your still losing. You guys need to watch college basketball more if you enjoy watching young players.

This NBA sht takes a HIGH IQ and relentless work ethic. You guys act like this is a Video game, like you can control a players development and IQ.

Oh yeah, draft a couple of good young players, and in 1 or 2 years were a contender. Nothing like adding more young players around your 21 yr old prize player, yeah, that will surely help him grow fast.

You know how these young and old players are in love with the triangle, they'll come in and pick that up in a month.

You need a 1st all NBA Denfensive team to run rambis's old school defensive philosophy, like teams are still shooting 15 3's per game and not 30.

Of course we lose close games. That's what poor and middling teams do. To be a good team, you need to not regularly put yourself in a position where one or two bad calls or unkind rims are the difference between winning and losing. Thinking that if only this or that in this or that game, we'd have a winning record is a mistake. Inconsistent play and hard luck losses are exactly what you get from a slightly below average team.

Is this team still going to playoff this year?

I held this thought firmly in early of the season.
