I predict the first ever 0-82 NBA season.

Posted by Markji:

Knicks finish 8th in the East and make the playoffs. We will run the Celtics ragged in the first round but lose to them. The Celtic's aging stars will be so tired that they lose in the next round.

D'A will get coach of the year award.

Nate will lead the team in steals with 2/game - more than double this past years stats. And win the 6th man award. Nate will block shots by taken by Darko, Marko and Camby..
Jamal and Q will both hit 40% from the 3 pt range.
Marbury will be here til Dec 31. Then self-destruct.
Zach will lead the team in scoring 20pts/game. Also will have 10rpg and 3 assists/game.
Lee leads in rebounds at 12/game. Is re-signed to 4 years $40 million and made team co-captain
Eddy will be traded by Nov 1.
JJ2 will have a productive year.

Okay, I'll get the party started: Zach Randolph will average about 25 points and 12 rebounds per game. Behind those numbers and moderate success of the Knicks, Zach Randolph will not only threaten to, but he will make the all-star team!

oohah, I take thy challenge:

You know I have always hated Stephon Marbury, right? Well, this will be the year he turns it all around, for me, for the world.

Marbury will become the heart, the catalyst of this team we call the New York Knicks. He will average 14 points and 12 assists. More importantly, he will be a true leader, for Mike D'Antoni will show him the light. He will be receptive and unselfish, but not to a fault. He will take and make clutch shots, while shooting over 50%. His defense will be lockdown.

And those 36 wins I predicted? Here is why it is an ass-hang. Because those 36 double-u's will get us into the playoffs by a half game over the Nets in the final game of the season. We will win by one point, off of a ferocious put-back slam by Marbury as the clock expires. We then beat the Celtics in the first round in a surprisingly ho-hum 5 game series. The media is all over the Marbury Garnett fued, but Marbury wins hands down, no discussion. We then breeze through the Pistons and Miami to go to the championship series. I am not sure if we win.

All I can say is, wow! . That is one of the most amazing ass-hangs of the millennium, even more so because it is a total reversal of your stance in previous years! It is almost like they are the words of another person!

You are now on the record! Bravo, sir, Bravissimo!

oohah

That wouldn't be hanging my ass out, that would be blowing my brains out.

But you're hardly hanging your ass out hyping Zack. You've been in utter denial about him for years.

Equation for the knicks record : We went 13-19 when we scored over 100. Add the fact that Eddy Curry will not be in the Starting line-up and Quentin is healthy. 13-19 becomes 19-13. Add in the fact that Marbury is still on the team and is terrible for their chemistry 19-13 turns into 15-17 which equals 32 games added up. 82 games in the season divided by a 32 games span is 2.6. 2.6 multiplied by 15 equals 39. Throw in a dash of pessimism and we got 38. Knicks win 38 games this yr and miss the playoffs by 4 games.


Oh...and Nate averages 17ppts 7ast 5rbs 3stl while shooting 48% from the field and 39% from 3

25/12 plus an all-star bid!? for a guy people think should be traded for a second round pick? With Curry, Crawford, and Marbury chucking?

Oh, my ass is hanging all right...not as much as 4949's nuts n' cheeks, but it be hanging!
