IF Indiana and Atlanta lose this game, we will still be in 3rd place.

Looks like both are a given, thank goodness. Hopefully this post doesn't jinx it...

Eh, it doesn't matter... we will either lose in the first or second round anyway...

Suffered through this game only because I want to see Stan's speech after the game.

why? he says the same thing after every big loss. "we didn't bring energy/didn't match their intensity, we have to look at our offense, and we just didn't make shots". You really don't need to listen anymore because he never makes any changes and says the same things.

i hope alex brings the axe down on otis/stan and our new gm doesn't match ryno's offer. its sad to call him our second best player when he only plays well against lottery teams.

we need a new direction. 3 point chunking should be put to rest. get some wing defenders and some athletic players out there and add josh smith summer 13.

same ol bull, we didnt play hard, we didnt make shots, we didnt play with energy...nothing new

Don't forget "we're not gonna win many games if we don't play defense."...

I watched the Knicks a few times in the last two weeks and they have been playing solid under Woodson. I was worried because their defense was immensely improved.

Goes to show you what a little coaching shakeup can do for a team.

I"m so sick of jinxs...


IF Indiana and Atlanta comes back and win their games then Orlando will most likely will lose their 3rd seed in the east.

Better?

Yeah probably so, although there's that 0.1% of me that thinks we have a chance so gotta keep hope alive!

can we leave hedo and jrich in NY?

Yep, I know D'Antoni sucks, but I have a feeling if Stan gets fired we'd be a better team because of it.

How many times have we been rolled over this season?

Chicago (without Rose), Boston (without Allen and Rondo), Indiana, New Orleans (which is emabrassing enough, but to add insult to injury, no Gordon), Charlotte, Miami, Oklahoma, Atlanta and I'm sure I'm missing some.

This team is not a contender. Period. This kinda stuff doesn't happen to teams that are contending. The Heat lost by 16 to OKC and it was a huge thing for them......We seem to lose by 15 or more at least once every other week.

I was joking, so chill out.

5th time this year we have been blown out by 20+ points

I think he was talking about his post. I agree with the jinx thing though.

The post season is going to be so bad, I am not looking forward to it. I'm only looking forward to the summer where Otis is finally gone and we can somehow trade this team away, minus Dwight, Redick and Liggins, I like them.

[arkknight1988]

think about how much $25mil is and multiply it by 2. thats jrich and davis's worth. by benching those players that is basically throwing away 50mil and i'm sure otis told stan NOT to bench these guys.

I just saw on Twitter, only the Magic and Clippers have lost 4 games by 20 or more points to teams currently in the playoffs. No other team has more than 2 of those loses.

[The Real Dalic]

I'm gonna be unrealistic during the playoffs, believe me. I'll be saying we're gonna be the champs even if we lose our first 3 games against whoever.

Again, Stan does the best he can with the players given. The make up of this team is inherently flawed. We live and die by the 3. You expect games like this when you have stiffs that do nothing but shoot 3's. I expect games like this. I can't blame Stan. I look at our record, and we've definitely overachieved this season. Our team just doesn't have the offensive diversity to score consistently. And when 3's don't fall, we get blown out. I can't blame Stan for that. That's the make up of the team. That's the players he's handed. Not a single player can take their guy off the dribble. It's pick n roll or hope Dwight is playing well.

[rcklsscognition]

Davis is 10/6 in 20 MPG the last 5, not worried about him so much, I only see him improving, even if it's just a little, as we get into the playoffs.

J-Rich has logged less and less minutes each consecutive night since his last injury. From 36 MPG down to 21 now.
