Making the playoffs would be horrible. It would be the worst thing for this franchise. At this point it

If we continue to lose, hopefully Isiah Thomas will get fired. He just proved to everyone that he isn't fit to run a basketball franchise. Neither is Dolan for that matter but he's the owner.

I hate losing, but winning at this point isn't gonna get us anyhere. Winning=worse pick, and more time to Isiah. Now that is what I call real losing.

Unless this is a video game and you can edit the Knicks players' overall number to 99 each, this team won't win.

You can either be a rah-rah fan or you can use some common sense. Winning does not just happen. You need to have a good team with a GM/coach who knows how to build a team. What makes you think these guys can win?

Does being positive work for you? Do you think if you cheer louder, these guys will play better? Not gonna happen. It's an extremely flawed team with an extremely flawed human being at the helm. Until that changes, this team will not succeed.

I have no problem with you wanting the team win. But what will that accomplish??

This team is a 30 win team, the only thing that does is leave the Knicks in the middle of no where. They won't make the playoffs because they'll win 30 games and they won't get a good position in the draft because they'll win 30 games.

You have to make a decision, either on the path to suck badly and get a good draft pick for the betterment of the future or go on the path to win 30 games and be in the same hole you were in the past 4-5 years and will be in the next 4-5 years.

Really, it doesn't matter what we want, becuase the first choice is not going to happen, no matter how much we want it... We are 8-24 for a good reason, there is no digging out of a hole for this team, not these guys, and there is no playoffs, so it doesn't matter what the hell we wish for...

The second choice is just an eventuality, it is inevitable, and I am happy, hopefully it leads to Isiah's firing, Daddy dolan taking control of the team away from his drunken , idiotic son, and the knicks selecting derrick rose in the lottery......

I don't think there is a choice here; Knicks will keep losing because they are inept.

Having hope to make the playoffs this year is grounds for psychological and emotional evaluation.

to answer your question directly-- I want them to win and make the playoffs.

One of the most enjoyable times for me within the recent years was taking my wife (from SC) to NY to watch the 2004 elimination playoff game against NJ at MSG.

the whole place was on it's feet cheering Marbs and you could see the electricity in the air.

If the knicks actually went on a run and made it to the playoffs--it would be front page news and you would need riot police in the streets of NY.

Ofcourse this would probably never happen. But I would want it to and I would take money out of my savings to get tickets to any game.

Ofcours you have to plan for the future-- But tomorrow isn't promised to anyone.

Question for you, if you put a bunch of people off the streets and put them on the Knicks, you still think they can win it all?
