my prediction at beginning of year was 42-40 and a 7 seed. it looks like the knicks are about a 500 team and will most likely be a 6 seed. not terrible haha.

Meh! Losing and Winning streaks are gonna happen. We've had Turiaf unable to stay healthy, Gallo, TD playing banged up all year. I'm not really worried about the look of things right this second. How we finish the year after the Trade Deadline is gonna be the real determining factor. What's gonna happen to the roster?

Our winning and losing streaks will result in a 40-44 win season, which is what many have predicted. Its easy to get discouraged, but in the long run I think Knicks fans should be satisfied with a 6th seed and playoff birth.

We have a really good offense when we run it properly. When we dont, we are a sloppy team who jacks up bad shots and doesn't get to the line or try to get easier buckets. Our defense is occassionally good, but sometimes they can be awful. Our rebounding is just pathetic. We dont box out at all and nobody hits the glass hard. Amare is a below average rebounder in my opinion. Having Will next to him doesn't help. Despite some ups and downs we seem to be just a .500 team. Maybe we can be better or maybe we just snuck up on some teams.

At this point we'd be lucky to be a .500 team it seems.

Captains of the the obvious.

The record always tells the story. 6 game losing streak always seems like we won't win another game.

This is where the team will find its meddle.

Or not.

Tune in. .500 is about right.

We will be at around 45 wins. It's never as good or as bad as it seems with a team like this. We have been playing good D but need our PG to stop thinking he's Gary Payton.

We would be a .400 team without the massive plus rebounding we're getting at the SG position from Landry Fields.
Rose is not the answer.

Don't call my 22-21 Knicks a .500 team.

Look for a 5 or 6 game winning streak at some point, soon.

Here's the shcedule up until the all star break;

January
Mon 24 vs Washington
Thu 27 vs Miami
Fri 28 @ Atlanta
Sun 30 vs Detroit
February
Wed 02 vs Dallas
Fri 04 @ Philadelphia
Sun 06 vs Philadelphia
Wed 09 vs LA Clippers
Fri 11 vs LA Lakers
Sat 12 @ New Jersey
Wed 16 vs Atlanta

11 Games and possibilities of 5-6, 4-7 or maybe 6-5. Looking more and more like a .500 team.

Dallas, Lakers and Miami are the only definite losses there, I think. We tend to do well against Atlanta, so I'd be confident of one of two against them. Washington, Detroit, Philly and NJ are all games we should win. Anything less than 6-5 would be a disappointment

I think we are about to see some W's again but this team will have more struggles this season. I think we all got overexcited about the potential but reality is the Knicks still have many holes to fill.

When we were winning we were on average playing a very soft schedule and now things have gotten much tougher. So yes, we weren't as good as we looked when we were winning and we aren't this bad now. But we did have a couple of horrific losses along the way (Minny when we had a 15 point lead, the Cavs in OT, the Kings last week).

I think the rest of the 1st half schedule will say a lot about where this team is heading.

The only thing that matters to me is what happens by the Trade Deadline. All bets are off after that. Things could change dramatically and if we do end up getting Melo or someone else it would be a new situation. Right now this is pretty much a .500 team and the record is pretty accurate. A few games we could've won with a bit of luck. It's not a bad record given the lack of help from AR or Timo. I really did figure them into things when I made my prediction. I never thought we'd end up getting practically nothing.

A better question is WHY DID MY JETS HAVE TO LOSE AGAIN???????????

Did they lose?

Or get beaten?

Big Ben is very good. Sanchise is not great yet. Great QB's usually get to go to Superbowl. Sometimes A Trent Dilfer gets to go. NOt this year.

.500 type teams usually have runs where they'll win a group of games & follow that up by losing a stretch of games... very rarely will you see teams win 2, lose 2, win 1, lose 1 for the entire year.

After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.
