I guess you can say this is only 9 games--this is VERY true. But if we look at that 9 games--the analytics are brutal. We've lost 5 of 6 games at home by an average of 13.5 points--which by far is the worst in the NBA. Weve been down double digits in 7 of 9 games. One of our wins--the first one against Bucks featured a +21 pt run by Milwaukee. Weve scored 100 points 3 times out of 9 yet weve given up 100 5 times. What saves face--were in the absolute worst division in basketball--if there is a team that is a worse mess than us --look no farther than Brooklyn. The Knicks will sell the 3rd seed all year even if we are ten games under--simply because a sub 500 team will be the third seed--and its very possible it can be us by default. They know what division we are in---they will do deals to get us in the playoffs even with 35 wins--they can sell it as 2000 when the Knicks mde it to the finals from the 8 seed.

Before this team played its first game you could see that the roster was clumsy. A hodge podge of offensive talent but low IQ, inefficient, slow & injured players
