If the Knicks dont finish 2nd in the lottery drawing its a travesty... not excuse. I dont know how good Rose is going to be but I am certainly happy to find out. Both (Rose and Beas) are guys you can look to build a style of play around.

Shut this thing down and lose every game. Why is Crawford playing 46 minutes?

Well I already posted this in another thread but...

Now Memphis and Minnisota still got to play each other twice, if they could split wins, that would help a lot and might get us in position for third place.
Memphis also plays Miami once and plays against the Clippers.
Minnisota also got Milwaukee at home and will play in Charlotte, other than that, I really dont see a chance of them winning any of their remaining games.
So if we are lucky and do a really good tank job there is a chance at pick number three.

Now Seatle will host Charlotte and the Clippers, but I just dont see us getting past them!!!!

Which sucks BIG time, cause I want the second pick and Derrick Rose!!!

Isiah is here so I doubt they will shut this down until he is gone. They should fire him and have Herb lose the games for us.

JJ actually played very hard, but I am always amazed at how terrible a BB player he is. I have honestly seen better skills at the YMCA I work out at.

The players know we are tanking. Crawford said himself its not about winning, its about getting everyone in the game

The Clippers are also catchable. They are only 2 games behind us and they are in full blown tank mode as well.

just ask boston about draft position and losing games.

no guarantees.

We could lose every game and get into the 2nd position, and have Dallas with their 2 ping pong balls win the whole thing.

Agreed about crawford playing so many minutes- Dolan should have sacked Isiah and gotten a new GM before the deadline, and traded Crawford for an ending deal and draft pick. We'd be in a much better position.

I don't think so. Memphis and Minn have gone and won some games recently.
And frankly, Seattle really sucks worse than us. If anything, I think the Knicks and Heat
are the ones purposely losing.

Yeah, but I still want that opportunity to have a better chance to draft Beasley.

Also, there IS the guarantee that you can't move down more than four (or maybe three--I forget) spots.

I agree. I think the Knicks and Heat are the only ones truly trying to lose games. Seattle is just bad and Minny is actually trying to win. It is a toss up whether Memphis is trying to win but I think they are for the most part.

the first three spots are the lottery. So if you up it either to 1-3. If you move down its because a team behind you won and moved into a top 3 spot. Since there are only 3 you can never lose more than 3 spots ie if you have the worst record you cant pick worse than 4

ROFL... right on the money fish.... It is sad to see this offense, even worse, sad to see lee still play hard every game while these guys coast.. zach is coasting, isiah should just shut that fool down for the rest of the season.....

I had good seats on Monday against the Nets. They were free so no biggie.. really just a good excuse for paying $15 a shot for a hotdog and Guiness (still burping up the mustard today).

Point is I almost impressed by the total lack of anything. We essentially run up and down the court like a YMCA team, make a pass (maybe) and chuck it as soon as you can reach the rim. It was bizarre

seriously, who the farg cares about honor in tanking games at this point? any one who wants the best for this team will realize we gotta get 1 of those top picks
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

I disagree. Maybe one of the three is catchable with Seattle being the least likely. The Knicks are playing the Heat today you forget, which would put a temporary halt to our tanking aspirations.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.

We should lose every game. The more ping pong balls the better. Im upset we beat Miami tonight.

And if the Mavs win the lottery the Nets get their pick. What a horrible trade for Dallas would that be then.

who cares about Dallas's fortunes? I'm hoping our guys can get in the top two picks.
I'll never trust this' team again.
