Maybe they can get into the post-season, but I don't see them doing anything. Sure they didn't win last year either, but at least they had a better shot.

The bottom of the East is EXTREMELY weak, as I'm thinking probably 37 wins will get you a seed between 6-8. Even if they go 2-8 on this trip, they'll still very much be in the hunt. Because, honestly, the rest of the lower playoff seeds aren't going to do that great either.

Right now, the Knicks, sitting at 17-39, still have a mathematical shot at the playoffs. They're only 7.5 games out, and with 30 games left, that's plenty of time to make up the ground. You also look at Charlotte, who, at 19-37, are only 5.5 games out. This is how weak the East is. I still think they'll be in the race after this road trip, even if it is a disaster. It's not like the West, where if you lose 3 in a row you're dead. You can lose three in a row out East and not lose ground.
