I think there's a good chance this team will play .500 ball the rest of the year but that will put them at the 37 win mark or so.
pretty much the win total i imagined for this team before the season... it's sad to think that this team has to start playing better than they've ever played in the past 5 years just to miss out on the playoffs & end up w/a crappy lottery pick.
It is sad, isn't it? This is unbearable torture from a team of pathetic losers.
I agree with you that it probably will take 42 wins to make the playoffs. I don't see us doing that. Frankly, my prediction for the year was 39 wins, which would require them to play above .500 for the rest of the season. I just don't see it happening. We just have to come to the realization that we're a bad team again, and you can't just keep adding uncomplementary players to make a big mish mosh of players who don't fit together.
I hate to admit it, but I've turned completely to the dark side. I now root for the Knicks to lose. I've accepted that it's our only hope. If we lost big this season, and a few cancers were removed from the team, but we got our youth some burn, I'd say it's the most progress we had made in years. The playoffs are almost irrelevant to me. The playoffs mean another 5 year extension for Isiah. No thanks.
