Without Tyson, Amar'e, K-Mart and Bargs, we really aren't much better than the Cetics anyways aside from Melo.
JR has been strangely low key and dare I say it (jinx!) consistent for the past month or two- what the heck is going on?!
i repeat: who cares about a win or a loss at this point. if they miss the playoffs denver gets a pick and if they make the playoffs they get destroyed in round one just like most of melo teams.
the players know that so they are auditioning at this point.
please don't tell me i must not be a fan for seeing the situation this way.
please enjoy yourself as you hate this winning streak.
please ensure to up your Paxil if it hits 10 games.
please stay away from open windows if we get out of the first round. Again.
if something is irrelevant it is neither enjoyable or otherwise. hard not to feel indifferent about this present squad.
phil jackson coming in to potentially give melo the heave-ho and lowballing the shyte out of him financially is going to make GREAT theater.
the clock may be winding down on this nightmare melo era.
new york five games back in the loss column with 16 games to go. improbable that they make the playoffs.
yea, people are ignoring the loss column.. that is the most important as you can't do anything about the losses.. what that leaves you as a fan is hoping the hawks loose a lot more than you do.... not such a bright outlook if you are trying to make the playoffs....only to get blasted in the first round anyway..
Yeah, loss column during the "junior varsity" portion of the season. Very important, I've been told.
Tell me again how 54 wins last year meant sheehit. Keep talking out of both sides of your fistula.
And here we go, win streaks are meaningless, making the playoffs, meaningless, out of the first round, meaningless, and then once we get out of the first round, we won't make it to the conf finals...and on and on and on.
do you see how inconsistent and incoherent you are? Just cut and paste "I hate Melo" in a number of different fonts and save yourself time...
Got to give you props though, at least you haven't disappeared. Is it Phil that's keeping your interest in this deranged squad of losers surrounding IsoMelo now?
the only thing the knicks can play for is preventing the nuggets from getting their draft pick. if tey don't make the playoffs it makes the melo trade look worse than ever.
and the other thing that these cats are playing for at this point is auditioning for a mount rushmore coach while playing beside a player that is a lonely statue covered in pigeon droppings in some obscure square. wonder what kind of attitude melo will bring from now until the end of this season?
dont the nuggets get the knicks picks regardless if we make the playoffs or not?

"First and foremost, it’s important to remember that the Nuggets will keep the best pick possible.
If both Denver and New York make the playoffs but the Nuggets finish with a better record, they will get the Knicks’ pick and send their own to Orlando. If New York reaches the postseason with a better record, Denver will keep its own pick.
If Denver makes the playoffs and New York misses the playoffs, the Nuggets will get the Knicks’ lottery pick and send their to the Magic.
If New York makes the playoffs and Denver misses the postseason, the Nuggets keep their own lottery pick, while the Magic inherit the Knicks' pick.
If the Nuggets and Knicks both miss the playoffs, the May 20 draft lottery will determine which pick Denver keeps.
Under the lottery system, a combination of ping-pong balls determines the first three picks of the draft. Teams with the poorest records have increased odds at the top selection, while those with better records have longer odds.
Should Denver and New York both land in the lottery, the Nuggets would have two opportunities to jump into the top-three, regardless of record.

knicks win 38-43 games in 16-17. rose MUST shoot no more than 14 shots per game, defer to kp6 + melo, and have a usage rate of less than 25%
