That schedule must be missing a game- does it not have the reschedule game - I am counting only 27 on it.

First they say were young, then they say this is a young mans league..go figure.

To some extent, experience is a bonus...The melo drama ( i would say) has a direct impact on our players, especially gallo and chandler. Our players play defense on some nights as if it's optional, and are overly aggressive (trying to swat every shot or go for a steal) on other nights.

If we remain the same, I expect a nice run to finish the season, base on "No More distractions"

If we don't and some how add melo and subtract the core, we finish .500 or a couple games better.

We have a winning record going into the all star break and any drama we've suffered through has been external to the team. I'm thrilled.

Wasn't happy with the effort in the week or so before the last 2 games. VERY happy with the defense and overall demeanor of the team the last 2 games. They seem to have broken thru the mental funk they were in and no matter what happens with Melo, I like the chances for this team finishing out the season strong. It's not about the record, but about how this team is playing going into the playoffs. This team is dangerous, cuz it's better than the record IMO. They haven't always played up to the full potential of the roster, but when they do it's clear that they can match teams like the Bulls, Hawks or Magic. We have a legit chance to get out of the 1st rd and that's real progress.

Its basically from March 13 that it gets really easy. We need to still be in the 6th spot going into the 13th. If that happens, you can book your Knicks Bulls series tickets.

I'm happy. Team is fun to watch and has a lot of young players who are improving, two steps forward one step back, but improving.

This is usually the time of year where I start missing some games because things are just so bad. It has been a lot of fun so far this year watching this team fight and win more than it is losing.

And that's all you need to know when evaluating the job Coach Mike has done with this team. For the first time in 10 years Knicks fans have something to watch after the break.

WE AIN'T NOWHERE WITH THIS BUM CHOKER IN CARMELO. GIVE ME STARKS'S 2-21 ANY DAY OVER THIS LACKLUSTER CLUSTEREFF.

I've always watched them after the break, but it was usually to see how much they would lose by.
