You can be Stevie Wonder and see this team will not be playing in the NBA Finals this year. That hope for a championship was really never here at all at anytime this year.

I watch my games. Every game, never miss a second. And you know what? It doesn't even matter if we win at this point. All I want is a good show, and we have been getting that for most of these games. We are 4-12 right now and very few times have the games been one-sided blow outs. We have been within five points late in the fourth in most of those games. That makes me happy. I am enjoying my team.

I like these players, I like my new head coach, I enjoy the broadcast team of Breen and Clyde, I enjoy the pre- and post-game programs...so what we ain't winning many games, I still look forward to every game. Can't wait for tomorrow at OKC. Then can't wait for Monday against Miami... Will we win those games? Does it matter at this point? I enjoy the games. I enjoy this team. As long as our heroes keep it close, I look forward to the next game.

Are you asking do you watch games and care if they win? Because for myself the answer is I definitely care and I definitely want them to win when I watch a game. There are rivalries in the nba and guys/teams that I want the knicks to beat. I can see the big picture when a game isn't on but once a game starts I want the Knicks to win. I also don't get any relief thinking that things might be better because they lost. I watched Jose have a brilliant game last night and I thought about how great he and Melo could be this year if they ever get to play together. I can't get behind the tank philosophy once a game starts.

I thought we were going to be a bit better than we are- from the Dallas game, you can see what Calderon can do - now if they can put it together, those close games will be won.

But if this were a video game and I could fast forward the season, I would and lose every game. Because while this group might be able to make some noise - too much of the roster is built on sand with guys that aren't going to be here next year.

this... Calderon is a nice floor general. I like watching the team and want to see them compete and win, but yea... rebooting with a stud pick, and a couple high caliber FAs after a 55 loss season is just fine with me.

I hate to say it but 55 losses might be to little this year, 60 or more if they know what's good for them.

We're currently on pace for a 21-61 record. If we can tank a little harder, we could get it closer to 15-67 and hope for a Philly revival.

By mid next season, if the Knicks are still a fringe 8th seed and losing 40-50 games a season, Melo will demand a trade. It will be an issue in the NY press and the general US sports media. There's nothing he can do this year, but next year, demanding a trade will only serve to help his branding and, probably in his own mind, distance himself from the constant losing.

Melo isn't going to sit by and lose for the next four years. He is going to want it all - Be the Alpha Dog, in a big market, get all his money, get a chance to contend. If he can't have it in NY, he will try to force or demand it in one of a few other select locations.


Doubt it. Which one of his prime choices are ready to ceontend besides Chicago? And I seriously doubt they part ways with their talent. Lakers dont have any talent, he might actually be worse off going there. dallas has one of the best offenses already, and Houston is not a large market, and he certainly will not fit with hardena and Howard.

I agree with you dude. I care

Thank God Fisher is no longer our coach, now let's get Calderon out of here:)

Okay let me ask//// do you root for the team

2 lose when they are mathematically eliminated


Because the principle of wanting the team to win

Should never change regardless what the math says from

So logic never factors in thus rendering yourself a robot
