I know.. You might consider asking her out. A strong foundation of hate comes in handy as the years go by.

About how this team should have played like this all year with Cole getting big minutes? Yeah, I can see how you might find that annoying.

The break up will come when the Knicks are good - but at least you'll have something to fill the gaping hole in your respective hearts.

I still literally can't comprehend what the hell happened this season. I don't care what the records say, we're a better team than the Raptors, Nets, Bobcats, Hawks, and possibly the Bulls. The losing just snowballed and the Knicks let it get to their heads..

Only the Knicks can win 16 of their last 21 games and still miss the playoffs. Knicks had a .762 winning percentage over the last 1/4 of the season. Ridiculous.

"Bad" teams don't go 16 and 5. If there was ever a season to go on a run at the end of the season and make noise as a low seed in the playoffs, this was the year to do it. Knicks would have most likely beaten any team seeded 3rd and below.

Knicks would have been more ready to face the Pacers this year, especially with revenge on their minds. Heat are weaker this season and no team since the 80's has made 4 straight NBA Finals appearances.

The Knicks blew it more than they could ever realize.

Well. the upshot is, I think the team plays to capacity from here out for awhile. An adult is in the room.

2-12 in both November and February, the sad part is the season was still salvageable (able to finish at or above .500 as well as a make the playoffs) after those two disastrous months.

Do you still think the Nets weren't tanking yesterday after losing by damn near 30 today to the Cavs?

You're kidding, right? Take a look at who played both nights / the minute distribution. Please...don't start this...again.

The Raptors let the Knicks win once the Knicks got the lead...but before that the Raptors weren't letting the Knicks win which is why they had the lead.

Maybe after halftime the Raps had already secured 3rd with the Bulls loss and had absolutely nothing to play, or lose for. Nahh, that's crazy talk.

Knicks played well but there was a lot of scoreboard watching going on tonight.

Bulls no. Bobcats and raps had a positive culture change. Nets at best remained lateral. Knicks went a way from what worked short term but I'm glad that it has resulted in a long term future with Phil.

Thats true, one positive thing to take from this season I guess, without the horrible skid and record, Phil might not have ever came.

Just shut up. Always with the excuses. I swear, one season of making the playoffs and Raptor fans think they're the sh*t. :crazy:

Positives I'll take from this season:

- Melo was pretty efficient. 45/40/85 shooting %'s. 27/8/3 in pts/reb/ast per game. Rebounds were a career high. The 62 point game at MSG beat Kobe's record.
- THjr's rookie numbers: 23 mpg, 10 ppg, 43% FG's, 36% 3PT FG's, 83% FT's, 2 rpg, 1 apg
- Amar'e played 65 games at 23 mpg. More games than Chandler and Bargnani.
- JR recovered from his knee injury and proved to be deadly from three point range
- Grunwald made more good moves than bad moves IMO. Bargnani was a flop on him, but Grunwald gets credit for drafting THjr as well as picking up Murry, Aldrich, and Tyler. Steve Mills had nothing to do with any of those pickups.
- Oh yeah, and Phil Jackson.
