Yeah, probably miss the playoffs at this rate.  :P

Glad other people are finally catching on. It’s been bad for a while now but people tried to convince themselves otherwise. This team might end up 3-4 seed by month end.

I still expect them to be the 2 seed at worst. The way they are playing though, admittedly it's hard to see how they can advance to the ECF especially if they matchup against CLE or NYK 2nd round (which is very likely)

I'm trying to be optimistic but it's hard. Last year's team got better in the 2nd half and played hard as the season progressed. This year's team is the opposite, they are slipping at the wrong time and definitely not playing hard consistently

Nah, no panic.  I just wish we had a better coach though.

I don't know why everyone's afraid of NY in the playoffs.  Fully healthy we're going to beat them in 6 games max.  Regular season results don't matter.

If I was forced to make a prediction, I'd pick Boston, but in 7 games with HCA

The worst part of all this is that Brad will give Mazzulla another year at a minimum,
which will be another season wasted unless this guy wakes the hell up from his delusional slumber.

If Brogdon or Rob played today, C’s win. Team can’t catch a break with the injuries this year. That’s the biggest problem.

It would be interesting to see how we’d do with a more experienced coach.

Can’t keep using this as an excuse every year. Both those guys are injury prone players.

Yeah, I mean I think many of us have been saying this for awhile, but there can absolutely be no confidence in us winning a tough ECF or Finals type series with the current coaching staff. There's just simply no adjustments made in-games and an incredible lack of understanding of how to impact the game while it's ongoing.

People said at the beginning of the year that Joe would be more impactful and involved in the games in these spots once the games mattered more and we were closer to the playoffs... nope!

This honestly feels like the end of Brad's tenure as coach. We're better and have more overall talent, but the guys don't seem to respect Joe and play hard for him like they did for Ime. It's just a completely different team with much less overall character and heart.

Yes and no.  The Knicks were playing without arguably their best player.
