Opening the game with Lee going one on one against Howard. Clearly a tank strategy.
Alan Hahn: Nate Robinson has been on a ridonkulous scoring tear lately (remember when he couldn't hit Jerome James with a Big Mac in early January?)

Lee commits a silly foul on a three point attempt and then wants to argue the call. David will never out grow this and yet it doesn't seem to bother many fans because they spare him technicals.

Why must they play well against a superior team on the road NOW? Why? Why can we not lose when we are supposed to and win when we are supposed to? Stupid ****ing franchise.

Bad teams do this and it doesn't help when there isn't any guidance from management and the head coach. MDA purposely ran the game through Harrington when he had the hot hand. This is more about MDA then it is about the future of the Knicks. If you are a honest fan you can see it. He wants to win more games than the previous bad Knick teams for his rep.

I spotted Sene during the last time out. I like this guy. He's raw but I think he's a decent player and would fit on a team desperate for shot blocking. We need to get a decent big man coach though because Herb absolutely sucks. Bring in Patrick or someone else like Oakley or Mason or something.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.

Every coach, player and team want to win games. If you don't have that competitive spirit, you shouldn't be in the league. The problem is that this team loses and gets blown out when they're in the playoff hunt and starts winning games when it is too late. It always happens. The problem isn't the winning but the timing of it. MDA isn't at fault here. He's doing all he can trying to lose (theoretically) by playing Jeffries and Q heavy minutes.

But in his mind you know he is trying to win these games. The sad part is that the losing is coming natural for them. So on any given night a Jeffries and Q Rich will play above what they usually play. I agree about being competitive but someone in management has to determine that right now it is not beneficial to do so. In the 2002-2003 season, they used the competitive spirit excuse to put them out of the running of Lebron sweepstakes. All that did was earned them Mike Sweetney and no trip to the playoffs which didn't benefit the organization at all.

Ahh, that's funny!

Man we save like our best game of the season for a time when we should be playing end-of-the-bench guys and thinking draft position. I just don't get it bro. I'm speechless. Looks like we got this one locked up - up 10 with 32 secs. to go. Nice win but meaningless and downright detrimental if you ask me. What are ya gonna do. They just don't get it...

What's Golden State been doing? I know they just lost at home to Minnesota a day or two ago. Got the Rockets tonight at 10:30. They still a couple of games behind us?

I don't see Orlando making it past the 2nd round.

In other playoff related news, the Cats have been eliminated tonight by those pesky Okies.

If they have to play the Pistons they are in real trouble. Rasheed and McDyess look healthy enough. Dwight struggles against these guys regardless. Dwight doesn't have his mentor's mental makeup in the 4th quarter.
