I'm really really hoping for 2-1. I think it would be a sign that we've turned a corner.

Yeah. 0-3 is likely. One win would be very good. More than that - well, it won't happen.

We have to go 2-3 over the next 5 otherwise we're right back to 2 or 3 games out of 8th.
Indy (Must Win) Cle,Bos,LA (could be 0-3 lets not kid ourselves, 1-2 would be very welcome) Portland (Must Win if we go 0-3) I would take 2-3 over those five games and throw a party to be honest. http://popcornmachine.net/ A must-use tool for NBA stat junkies!

1-2 with two hard fought losses would be acceptable to me... of course 2-1 or 3-0 would be well received too.
What if the Knicks lose all three by less than 2-3 points each game? Do we consider this some kind of moral victory? What will people on UK think if, by a miracle, we win 2/3 during the week and then go in to Portland and beat them, or even lose a close one to them? And what if we lose 2 of 3, with both loses being close, and then go in to Portland and whip the Blazers? I suppose that I am just wondering how (or if) anyone's impression of the Knicks as a team and their chances for reaching the playoffs will be influenced by what the team does over the next 10 days?

Posted by Cosmic: i can't wait to see all the people jones'in for playoffs right now start screaming for the team to be blown up after the team goes through an 1-4 or 0-5 stretch this year. After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

*sigh*
Well, this week certainly sucked. I was hoping we'd take one but it wasn't to be. 61 and 52 on consecutive nights. BK's near 25-year-old record shattered. 0 for 3.  Well, we did hang with these three teams before they would ultimately outclass us. Obviously we're not on these teams' level yet but at least we didn't curl up and die and get beat by 70 points like last year. Still 0-3 at home no matter what stings. Also, we need to take a little more pride in protecting our house. After the 61, the 52 shouldn't have happened, IMO. Oh, well, let's brush ourselves off and go to Portland.... -- the preceding post was brought to you by the letter K and the number 22.

Posted by JamaicanJetFan: The corner you are hoping for hasnt been turned yet. Sure we have a coach now, some players who are happy, and a better feel in the locker room. But we are still winning meaningless games and sacrificing a good draft pick for barely missing the playoffs. "If at first you don't succeed, then maybe you just SUCK." Kenny Powers
