Yes, it's more than likely naive, homeristic and possibly stupid to think such (and yes, I did have a Corona or two before typing this), but the math says we're still in it - so we're still in it. At the very least, we need to finish ninth and win at least 3 more games to make it more difficult for our friends in Chi-Town to pick someone really good in this apparently really deep draft class.

When Mardy Collins learns how to shoot, look out. :)

knicks will end up either 1 & 5 or 2 & 4 in their remaining 6 games.

I see a record of 33 - 49 or 34 - 48 for the knicks falling into the 9th spot in the draft. Unfortunately, that pick will go to chicago.

Looks like Philly will jump ahead of the knicks going 4-2 for the remaining 6 games...
