LOT
ERRRR
EEEEEEE

Had the Knicks done what they SHOULD have and simply played Jason Smith, Cole, Wear, Acy and Bargs (at PG) for 48 minutes each this would be a non topic. Actually Im pretty sure Bargs would have dropped 45/10 and Knicks would still win.

Or

Knicks finish with worse record and still pick 4th

If you finish with the WORST record you will pick 1-4. The slot with the greatest statistical possibility is 4th at 36%

So please... pretty please with sugar on top. Stop hurting yourselves and move along.

And if you need to assign blame, if that is a core need for you? Blame Timmy JR, who sucked Isiah's balls all year only to shoot us to a pair of meaningless wins which you guys blame Fisher for. I guess he should have pulled him right?

well i was actually being half sarcastic to begin with. Everyone knows about the lottery system but there was still no point to try and win the final games but such is life. So again relax fish

I think you need to settle down... starting redundant threads willy nilly. Clearly your angry and cant contain yourself. Try a warm cup of reality

I'm not saying you coach to lose games, you tell your players to throw games etc. but there was a way to ensure we finished it off the proper way after such a lousy season and we didn't. Maybe Phil never bothered to get that message across to Derek, maybe he thought Derek wouldn't have went for it, maybe he did manage to mention something to Derek and he did have a problem with it...Who the hell knows man...I know this: to win those games and watch THJ celebrate the way he did was EXCUCIATING to behold to say the least. I agree--watching the first couple of picks go down and then be left to make tough decisions after Towns, Okafor and Russell and most likely off the board....it's gonna be tough. No question about that. What are ya gonna do? Hopefully we did our homework and either keep the pick and draft the player that's right for us or package whoever we select in a trade that benefits us. Tough situation to swallow but it is what it is. Hopefully we finally get some luck on our side and make the best of the situation. About time something works out for us. We've suffered enough!

exactly. I wasnt trying to be doom and gloom. I was simply saying our luck sucks. Its time for something good to happen

Yeah, I feel ya bro. What could've been, right? Very tough to swallow looking back on the end of the season and how those couple of wins could've made a difference for us.

russell, winslow and okafor are roughly about the same.... of course being further down in the draft makes us susceptible to going a bit crazy with the pick but as long as we get one of those guys we should be fine...

this whole year has been fun as a fan.. i always felt bottoming out.. like we did this season... was the best time to be a fan.. because you have a lot of hope that things will be better... and then when things actually get better it's that more rewarding...

i think we've all gone through enough as knicks fan and we're ready to reap some good fortune... hopefully that starts tomorrow...
