D'Antoni put the team through a workout that focused more on the mental than any physical work Sunday. It's the mental part that the Knicks believe will make the difference now.

This sounds like it will get the players back on track. How long until a players only meeting?

At the halfway point the team has a reference point if winning. They understand it and feel it.

The way the season started, then adjusted with a nice weak ass schedule and have kept themselves in most losses is impressive.

Im very satisfied with this season. They are fun to watch on most nites even when they don't win.

we need help on the boards first and foremost. I posted in another thread that we have been outrebounded by 9.5 a game on average during the 6 game losing streak. There is no other stat that needs to fixed. The scoring will come

When we were actually making our record predictions I thought the Knicks would have a .500ish first half with a very strong 2nd half and finish > 45 wins, so I can live with this.

We lack size and are one of the worst rebounding teams in the league.

Our offense is inconsistent. Some nights we look like we can topple anyone, other nights our offense looks as bad as the Cavs. Pretty much all depends on whether our jumpshots are going in, and relying on an outside-in game is a recipe for disaster in the playoffs.

Sounds like why Phoenix never went to the Finals.

Posting here because it's the only Cashmoney thread that isn't locked, for some reason...

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???????????

I agree, I strongly believe walsh is going to do something by the trade deadline regardless of melo

You mean other than the Western Conference Finals?

i think we'll finish over .500 if we remain relatively healthy. unless indiana/milwaukee/philly go on a tear we're pretty much locked into the 6th seed.

as far as our recent play however we are closer to 1st round fodder than an actual threat to get out of the first round...

The Knicks won a game last night they should have won. As long as they keep doing that they'll be in good shape. Two tough games coming up against the Heat and Hawks. I hope they can pick up a W on Thursday.

The schedule does get easier again, you realize. I think this team can get into a groove again in Feb/March and win 45 games.

Sounds like definitely Bosh (high ankle sprain) and possibly Wade (migraines) might miss the Knicks/Heat game on Thursday. I don't normally like to beat depleted teams, but I think if the Knicks could beat a depleted Heat squad right now, it'd actually be a good thing for their confidence.

Not to say the Knicks will lose but if they do. How is the team going to react to loss to a depleted Heat team?

I think it would hurt the confidence, but not as much as a win would help the confidence.

Lebron took a team with a garbage supporting cast to the finals. As long as he's playing, we'll be the underdog.

I think the Knicks are more than capable of beating the Heat. It's gonna be tough just like any other top team we've faced. We need a bigtime performance from everyone, as we've had in other wins we've had. If we don't have one of those horrible offensive games we should be in this game with a shot to win.

I think Wade is going to play. Miller also seems to finally be getting his rythm back.
