If Gallo stays healthy and plays 16 minutes+/game, they shouldn't lose any more games from here on out.

This is of course contingent on Gallo staying healthy.

I know this is a shoulda/woulda argument, but if this team wins a couple of those games we should have won (like OKC), we'd be only be 2 games under 500.

I doubt we'll play 500 ball the rest of the year- probably just a few under- like 16 w 22 l - and finish the year at 35-47 - which is the mid 30's most have said this team had the talent to win.

The Knicks have a lot of talent, more than most teams. Its just that they need to grow together and implement the system to a higer level. A legit Center would help but Lee seems to be thriving in that role and creating mismatches with his agility that most centers don't have. That 0-6 run they had will be hard to overcome. Their goal should be to get to .500 nothing more that that but they should always keep in mind that they need to win first.

I disagree that the Knicks have more talent than "most teams." I mean when you think of talent on the Knicks, I don't think it really extends further than Harrington, Lee, Chandler, Nate, Gallo.

We're talking about talent, not the players that you like and want to keep around.

Otherwise please explain how Gallinari has more talent at the moment than Al Harrington.

I left Al Harrington out by mistake. My bad.

And for the record, Isles, I don't care who gets traded. Any trade that makes this team better is A-Ok by me.
