So, LeBron needs 150 points to break Kareem's all time NBA points record.

He's averaging 29.7 ppg this season.

He'll either set the record on Feb 04 vs The Pelicans (7 PM start), road game - that's game 5
or
On Feb 07 vs Thunder AT Lakers (8 PM start). Somehow I think it'll happen at a Laker home game.

Putting those two games on my calendar.

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.

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

I’m confident this team will finish with exactly the 15th best record in the league.

So, should they stop trying to improve the team?

Yes, we are definitely trading for him. We love injured players. And the price has dropped.

We are after Caruso. We must have offered them one of our protected firsts and they want 2.

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.

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.

While u have a point about Randle, how many 'ships did Sprewell win with the Knicks, I forgot? His stats look like a poor man's RJ. This is your gold standard for the Knicks? :uhoh:

Well he took them to the NBA Finals. Went to the WCF with Minnesota too. Twice the player RJ is ever going to be. How old are you to talk about his stats lol
