If the Knicks can win 20 or more of their last 30 games, I will be ok with this season and excited for the next. All I want to see is a consistant lineup with real hustle and effort.

Still asking for miracles? We just lost 17 of 18 and now we will win 20 of 30 when its on the line for playoff teams? yeah right mercy would be 15 wins realistic is 10

you don't think Marbury back makes the slightest difference? I think if they can go over .500 the rest of the way with Marbury, this group is worth building around with some slight changes to the periphery players (i.e. bring in more defenders to surround Frye/Curry/Marbury/Crawford)

crz if they win 11 games, you will still make an excuse for the team--so why does it matter?

The only reason people want to see wins is so they don't have to admit how big the pick we gave up in the Curry trade was. The reality is, regardless of how we do, we lost that pick. Curry was a nice pickup, but some posters may have been on to something when they said that we gave up too much in the deal.

As for the rest of the season, if we play the rooks, they get valuable experience, but we lose almost every game, I'm still happy. Wins and losses just don't matter much at this point.

I'd like to see the kids get some Ws to build their confidence.

If the Knicks can win every game between now and the end of the season, they'll surely make the playoffs.

if we go 20-10, the sixers have to go 9-21 the rest of the way for us to make the 8th seed.

all the teams inbetween can have slightly better records than philly but that's the gist of it.

realistic shot is 25-5 but fellas, look at the schedule. it ain't pretty.

LET'S GO LIBERTY!!!

to be fair, he didn't say they would make the playoffs if they went 20-10, just that he would be excited about this team heading into next season. And I think we all would.

20 and 10 baby! Starting with Miami!

That's how I feel about it. Knicks just gotta win. If they get some good quality wins and play the spoiler role that is just as exciting as going to the playoffs with no real shot at anything special.

Go knicks regardless!
