    Last game of the home-stand against the worst team in the league.

    Surely we can win this one, right? Right?

    The Knicks are on a 9-game losing streak. We can't afford to lose this one.

    A loss here would show true commitment to adding talent for next season.

    A win here (which should happen) helps the Purgatory train.

    I don't really get the idea that were stuck in purgatory. Its not like they’re a consistent 8 seed. Theyve been the 3 seed like 3 straight years. Maybe they arent good enough to win a championship, but Ive always considered purgatory the teams that are always like 7–10 and just keep coming back and doing it again. This year sucks no doubt but if the last few years are purgatory then it must pretty much suck to be a fan of about 25 NBA teams.

    The last two years. Three years ago, we were the 8 seed. Year before that, we were 5 seed.

    This team is yet to be a legit contender. They have yet to win a single conference Finals game. They were swept one year as the #3 seed and only because Ant and Skal went nuclear in a game their coach tried to lose, did they get into the soft side of the bracket or they would have been swept in the second round the next year.

    I desperately want them to do better but it's not going to happen with two small guards who don't play much D, so little ball movement and this coach.

    So something needs to change before Dame's prime is completely gone.

    Health will make a big defense.
    A Good Lotto pick could as well.
    Losing (and being swept out) in the 1st or 2nd round of the Playoffs again won't do a damn thing.

    Oh we lost to GSW, Pelicans and Cavs. We can not take this game for granted. Gotta play serious and win the game. One game at the time... let’s go!

    Makes them very dangerous. Eventually they will win a game. Blazers playing poorly gives any team looking for a win hope.

    How do you know the only reason they made the WCF was because they won the last game?

    If we loose this game then Stotts is chair will start get really hot. My worry you just might see more and more iso ball by our key scorers if this start going south really fast. But that going be the case then we don't have to worry we will in the lottery. The reason I say that we already had Dame and CJ going iso but when didn't shoot well we still had decent defense to stay in games. This year we have a terrible defense and our bench really non existent this year. Year might good game by someone hear and there but just can't count on it every night. Will cost Stotts his job maybe or maybe not due Olshey can say it's not his fault due to all the injuries.

    I wonder if Stotts would ever get fired.
    He can take his pants off in the middle of a timeout and then proceed to take shit on the logo and Neil would still protect him.
