The West is kind of wild right now. 4-13 in standings are only separated by 3 games.

We stayed up for nothing...

Watch on YouTube

They only showed the Celtic's reaction to the loss. The hidden message. The Celtics lost the game, the Knicks didn't win it. They also ignored the results of the pregame prediction regarding who would score more....the Randle and Brunson duo versus Brown and Tatum.

They are so damn predictably lame. The broadcast is just one commercial to fawn over the same 6 or 7 players,. When the script gets flipped they just go into ignore mode. Thank god there are alternatives like this forum and Internet broadcasts like KnickfanTV.

Knicks vs Nets tomorrow at 5:30. I dunno what possessed the NBA to schedule this game so early on a Saturday. Both teams are in the playoff hunt and the Knicks have rattled off two huge wins against CLE and BOS.

I dunno if we can beat yall with how the Nets have struggled without KD. Kyrie and Claxton have been balling but everyone else suddenly decided to suck when Durant went down.

KNICKS now with the 2nd BEST away record in the ENTIRE NBA. Only 1.5 games from Boston and having the best away record!!!! :rock:

Are we actually much better than we realize? :crazy:

Inside the NBA is the best sports show on TV.

Imagine only watching things in an echo chamber that satisfy your opinion. Well, I can imagine that. It’s the problem with this country today. Everyone listening to what they want and ignoring any rational alternative thoughts.

If any GM trades even one first rounder that’s not top 29 protected for Alex Caruso they should fired on the spot.

The rumblings were just indigestion. Bulls GM had some bad fish tacos.

I mean...I'm good with it if we can be the 5th or 6th seed. I don't want us to have a homecourt (dis)advantage or be in the play-in.

I have long distanced myself from the Knicks emotionally, basically since the Sprewell days because this franchise never gets it done and always lost momentum when it was time for change. From that view, Boston actually lost the game and New York didn’t win it. In the big picture, that’s just the way things are. Boston has been a true contender and the Knicks aren’t at all. Nobody cares about the Knicks until some real changes are made to the roster. It’s simply the way it is. Who wants to watch Julius Randle play? He isn’t that type of talent.

That was going to happen. Fans would always give in and buy the BS product.

However, people should really get their heads around the fact that it is a positive outcome if you compete in the league. The fifth or sixth seed in the East means you’re between tenth and twentieth in the league. It is also a success if you get the chance to draft a franchise player. So in fact the only successful seasons are the ones where you finish top 10 or bottom 10, which we don’t. Either top 10 or bottom 10. Both results mean you’re actually going somewhere.

Being content with the fifth seed and a first round exit means that you (not personally you but everybody) don’t get it. I’m sorry to put it that way, but the writing has been on the wall all season. Mediocre roster, some meaningless addition at guard, not good, not bad, not noteworthy, not a team to watch or… and that’s most important… develop. Just good enough that people will shut up and watch. As always.

That's an RJ style move and result.

Knicks should get on teh phone with all the GMs, asking for 9 picks for RJ, since he's younger and therefore has more upside.

Knicks had the 10th best record in the NBA after the win.
