Granted they were awful. Really bad. But no fan who's been following them at all closely could have expected more than 1 win from the trip ... maybe hoped for 2. They are overmatched against those teams even when they're not traveling, tired, and playing 4 games in 5 nights ... or whatever it was.

Who were their weakest opponents on the trip? Golden State, Utah? They'd be among the top 3 or 4 teams in the East.

I still foresee the Knicks sliding into the playoffs and missing a lottery pick. Then I and most of the rest of us will be rooting like mad for them ... and fuming while wondering what could have been if they could just hold on to the ball as they go down in 4 to the 1 or 2 seed in the East. Just hope it's not the Nets.

Dude Utah is a good team. We had a better chance against Seattle, Portland and Golden State.

because of the crazy substitions. Thats why we never hold leads!

the road trip hurt them, but i still say they will make the playoffs. The knicks wanted to win only 2 out of the 5 anyway.

Make the playoffs by a fluke and gain what? A first round knockout? More excuses? Please. All we'd get is another 2-3 years of this same dysfunctional management and rosters. No thanks.

If we miss the playoffs, we'll get a better pick. We will see the end of the Chaney (and hopefully LayDown) era.

We went 0-5 on a road trip for the first time since 1985. We are going from bad to worse. If the playoffs are more a priority this year than last, and we are doing worse now, what does that tell you about the NYK management??? You want those idiots to stay in place?

yeah look how good are draft picks are working out this year...

If the knicks even accidently make the playoffs we are screwed. That will give management an opportunity to say that the team has improved and stay in power. If the knicks lose miserably and dont make the playoffs not only does the management leave without a question, we get a good player in return.

My point exactly.

i understand how you want the knicks to do bad this year to be better in later years. but when you sit down and watch the games do you actually root against the knicks? i want the knicks to win as many games as they can. i never want to see them lose. I wouldnt watch them if i wanted them to lose, never mind post stuff on the internet about them

agreed. but can anyone beat the lakers? nope

Great point, if some fans want them to lose why would they watch them?
