I don't watch Knick games. I just check the scores every few days.

Right now it feels like we've been losing for several weeks straight (7 games in a row apparently). This gets me excited. I want that #2 pick. So I go to NBA.com to check the standings. We've gotta be at least in the top 3 worst teams in the league. We've got to.. we've been losing for weeks.

But NO. Miami is expected. So is Minny. But Seattle and Memphis ARE STILL F!!!NG WORSE. This just begs the question, WTF? How can these teams be so god damn bad. It makes no sense to me. Are there some Isiah clones that I haven't heard about? The other teams really can't do better than Wackobury (i know, i know, hes not playing), 300LBs (we've got a couple of these), Eddy Winslow, and Jamal-a-chuck?

I just don't get it. I really don't.

Seattle is improving. They could pass us as Durant gets going.
Miami will be a lot better. I can see them going on a 5-5, 6-4 type run pretty soon.
Memphis and Minny are dying. BUT we have two crucial games to go against memphis in late march and early April where we can swing the time and lose both games.
lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.

Seattle and Minny are terrible teams, but their age and payroll is equivalent to their win total, so they're valid exceptions. I guess the real shocker is Miami, all they technically had this year was a banged up Wade. Shaq was non existent for the most part, and now he's gone. Wade and Marion can make a solid playoff push next season, as this year is pretty much over for Miami. Maybe they'll grab the 8th seed, but I doubt it.

The real problem is with the pathetic Knicks. They have the payroll and experience of a championship caliber team, but only to be ranked amongst the worse with Miami, Seattle, and Minnesota. And now Isiah's latest excuse consists of being "a young team." I wonder if this reject really understands that this is the product he put together after 4 years of work with this franchise. They have numerous guys on the roster with 5+ years of NBA experience, but yet they're still "young." And they're certainly getting "better", in the L column that is.

Pathetic. My favorite word to describe the Knicks.

I want number 1 pick. I have studied Michael Beasley enough to know he is a franchise talent. He plays and wants it much more than I originally thought. He is a *special* special player. He is good enough to be an immediate impact player

If Isiah will stay all the way he can do wonders..
We can really be the absolutely worst team in NBA and in history of NBA.
But to reach the last we need to keep Isiah for another year ot two.
I think Jimmy will not be able to make it.
I will personnaly be satisfied with absolutely worst team in NBA this year.
We should be realistic.

So Derrick Rose ain't good enough?

Haven't seen much of Beasley yet, in fairness, but I'd love to get Rose.

Maybe the fear of Marbury part deux is there being a scoring point, who distributes too.

This team desperately needs a sound, cosnsistent point, although Nate shows some potential. We also need a SF who can actually score, but isn't Beasley also considered a potential tweener?

That's because we have' been losing for several weeks.

Unfortunately, this team will never be good enough to make the playoffs, or good enough to compete if they did make it. But also, we are not so horrible either to land even a 4th or 5th pick. We're right in the middle where ding dong head put us.

I rarely said anything for about the last month or more about the Knicks and I come back and I tell ya, it's all still the same as it was as when I stopped following the Knicks. It's just never going to get better with this bunch.

And the sad thing about it all is, when we finally jump for joy about this team, it won't be because they went on a big winning streak and made the playoffs or anything like that. But instead, it will be because Ding Dong Head would've finally gotten fired. That would almost be equal to winning the NBA championship. I used to think firing Scott Layden was well over due, but this is absolutely rediculous!

I swear to you's, if you would have asked me a year ago if he would still be in New York by this time? I would've laugh in your face!
I'll never trust this' team again.

This team has ALWAYS' needed a dominating center or/and an elite scorer.

We have not had neither one in the last ten years at least. Patrick Ewing is the closest we've had to that since Benard King.

I look at L.A. Lakers success and they had plenty of those types of players in the last 40 years. Wilt, Magic, Kareem, Shaq and Kobe. Three different generations right there.

What I'm saying is (and what I have always' said) let's be real here. We got nothing but peanuts. The success is in our cap management and between Layden and Ding Dong, we have zero success.

the other teams (minny, memphis & seattle) are worse because they are complete gut jobs and they play in the west coast. we' be worse record wise if we played out west. our 0 & 9 record is proof of that.

more than the other teams, we need the #1 pick. dolan & isiah don't deserve it, though.
