You wonder right? Before the season I was like, the heat are shaq and wade...a crappy eddie jones and a bunch of role players whose name I don't even know.

Before hte trading deadline, we took them to overtime and I continued to believe...we'll know next week when they playt the heat at home (I got tix)...but wouldn't it be something if Rose could battle shaq? If Ariza could keep wade in check? If Timmy comes to play against...exactly, Eddie Jones? I haven't even brought up Marbs and KT.

Could this be for real? I mean, yeah, we beat teams with losing records and injured players, but didn't the rest of the league get their wins agains a poorly coached injured Knick team in January?

I mean...we were 16 - 13 and on our way to making it to the the playoffs...now, if we make it, it has to be as the atlantic division winner (which unfortunately, the celts are running away with it)

OK...I'm cured...while we may not make it to the playoffs this year, I'd like to know sooner rather than later that we aren't.

Go Knicks. That is all from me...I'm not going to be able to respond to being bashed.

Peace

such negativity....

DAMN THE FRIGGIN LOTTERY!!

~~I for one will think the knicks make the playoffs~
As for my friends they think that too...
Knick fans have 2 believe... or we go down... just listen to o mighty herb williams

this Knicks have a real problem that they must correct as soon as possible...We have Bruno on the bench who reall never plays, if he is going to be on the bench as a 7', when we face teams that are as tall as the Wizz were last night, he really needs to get in the game and provide a couple of his fouls at least...Our bigs were in foul trouble early because the length of the Wizz was a problem...It is either we use him or we send him on the IL for JB...We really can't continue to have hight deficiency as our problem, because we will get kill just like in Orlando if we don't resolve this..

Right now the Knicks would have the 11th pick (or the 11th best odds). I'd rather make the playoffs and get the 16th pick than miss the playoffs and get the 11th pick.

I agree...there is no way we can finish really low unless we lose on purpose.

But I can't see any knick team ever doing that.

So it's playoffs or 11th pick. even if we make the playoffs, won't it be like the same pick anyway?

We may as well just root for the playoffs.

well, we're going to see what is up, what is the difference between what we saw in Orlando and what we have seen in NY and it will be soon. We have hit a soft spot in the schedule-no back -backs and a lot of home cooking. Now we have to play top 5 NBA teams 4 of next 5, we have 3 b-bs and a western road trip. So this next stetch is going to tell you what is what.

how can i join the the "church of diderotn"?

preach brother, preach.

you are hilarious

much better than reading about how suck we are, or how bad of a job Isiah is doing as a GM.....I am not affraid of where we pick, because is an excellent evaluator...The best big man will not be drafted with the top 3 picks...you watch...Where was Wade picked, Jordan, and many others???

Find a team that won a title without a top three pick in the starting lineup.

Dude! forgive me for asking you this question, but how many top 3 picks do WE have on our roster??? This team needs a freaking Center, CENTER, he doesn't have to be a freaking star. All he needs to provide is shot blocking and defensive presence.....Marb was a top 3, Penny

Marbury was 4th, Penny isn't a starter. Look, I'm not trying to be argumental, but it's a fact that NBA teams are built around high lotto picks. Every great team I can remember has been built around a top three pick. I'm just saying, it's going to be tough to build a contender without a top three pick and going by history IMPOSSIBLE to win a championship.

How many does detroit have?


BTW...

billups was #3
sheed was #4
hamilton - lottery

this is a wasted arguement. Now they will cry about winning every game and making the playoffs, and by Christmas next year they will be talking about BS scenarios to trade for a guy like Bogut or Marvin Williams.

So there's really that huge a difference between 3 and 4? Did you ask the question about top 3 picks deceptively because you knew Marbury was #4? If so, that's pretty lame.
