And should we actually win more than one playoff game, they have to climb Everest bare handed without a rope.

And should we get out of the first round, they have to go through Navy Seal boot camp.

As always, it is a long season. Every win does not mean the Knicks will win the finals and every loss does not mean that the Knicks are scrubs, mentally weak and should all be waived.

If you look at my post history, I never get excited about a win and never get down after a loss. The East is close up top and this is what many expected going into the season. Things will play out over the next few weeks and I expect the Knicks to get better as Felton returns, Amar'e continues to regain his form and Shumpert begins to get into shape.

Relax, boat jumpers, we lost by three. It wasn't a 30 point blow out.

Oh and the new math tells me 14-6 = .700 at home. Only.
Get me the posts that shows me who didn't want to sign up for playing .700 ball at home halfway through the season.

That aint the point posts ghost,
14-6 can just as easily become soon be 16-10 if knickerbockers aint careful or begin to win,
This may be ok with you but not from my end if you consider our team elite.

Plus if knicks are on level of being good you suppose to have stealth record at home. In case havent notice aside from good teams ny is struggling vs bad teams this month too!

Injuries have happened yes, but this team has got to start playing better and win on a more consistent basis. The Knicks are slowly letting everything they work hard for slip trough their fingers.

I agree with this. Their defense has been shaky and there has been more iso ball then even I like. I think Felton will help with both these things since Kidd simply can not get into the lane consistently and is not a good man defender at this point.

Melo may have lost his cool against the Celtics but, he was playing like crap from the 1st on through. Can't say it was because he lost his cool when he was already playing poorly. You guys love to reach and make statements based on little to no evidence.

Reaching? Why are you currently looking only at knicks record still good
Knicks soft or otherwise? Not sure which nyk games you r watching of course knicks lost soft

This post is all fair & accurate criticism & cannot figure out for life of me why you'd settle for
Mediocrity-Knicks again. Havent knick fans had enough of this mediocre thinking?

Same folks who complain on forumers reaching, & Melo poor recent games (he's allowed) will be same folks
Again complaining if Knicks slip to 30-25, they want coach out, want new PGs & will want Melo traded

FACT is knicks playing bad hoops at home, & avg. On the road this month of January
Fact is teams whom has success or winning teams do not get pushed around consistently during losses
Do not get constantly outrebounded in most positions & Do not rely on their 3pt game as sole schemes to
Be able to beat teams.

If that isnt clear on viewing recent knick play
God bless ya & god bless america

Wow, you grasp losers math so easily. 14-6 could more easily be 18-8, all things being what they currently are.

I don't have to notice anything about the Knicks being good. I can look at the standings, and guess what? That tells me the Knicks are good. Just like all other teams that are leading their divisions are good. Or do you not understand that concept?

When we went 8-1, was anyone thinking, "oh boy we are going to play near .900 ball the rest of the way!!!"

Okay, so maybe I was, but I tempered my homerism with the statement about what this team was, deep, old, partial to breaking down, and hopefully going to get a nice mid-season boost from two of it's best stars.

Try and temper your "Knicks suppose be good than better have stealth home record" somberism with the same amount of cool collectedness.

Beat the honeynuts off the C's!!!!

The evidence is simple wons & losses, poor perimeter defense.. no rebounding
Equals = no wins most of the past few wks,

Being unable to match up size wise with Tyson as our only big and being physically out muscled by a bigger team does not equate soft. At least that is not how I see it.

Not being soft is getting after opponents & fightin for rebounds on both sides of the glass/boards irregardless of size,

Not!! Being soft is being pesky on the ball defending, & not shy away from physical contact to get a steal or disrupt
the opponent. Not being soft is if you go to basket & get hard fouled Or knocked on your as_s then next time go to basket trple times the force & try to score even if this time you knock some opponent on their butts.

This isnt rocket science, guys from old days like Celts Paul Silas 6 7' center & Norm Van Lier Bulls 6 foot
Pg played that way reason CELTs & BULLs was successful, in 70s

Same as 80s Lakers & Pistons,
Same as 90s Jordan Bulls, Hakeem Rockets,

Same as 2000's Spurs, LAL, Pistons, Celts & Heat, Mavs is why those teams never got pushed around thus won titles

That is nba basketball despite if you not hittin 3s or offensive game fails like Ny
These things i explain is the little things in the BIG picture of getting respect & being elite

Simple as that
