Quarter of a season is behind us and THE KNICKS ARE OUT OF THE PLAYOFFS - Message Board Basketball Forum

Yeah,that's right.

I know there's less than a month since the first game started but we're already 25% in the season.
Currently we are 10th,out of the playoffs.
Bucks,Celtics and Cavaliers are ahead of us while the Nets are only game and a half behind us.

Baron will be back soon so if he doesn't turn things around we might even miss the playoffs.
I still think we're going to make it but time for us to gel is running out.

We have 2 18million dollar players that cant carry the team. The record isnt shocking.

It is considering we played a lot of home games against easy opponents and the Cavaliers have a better record than us while the Nets without Brook Lopez have only 1 win less than us.

Not much different than last season at this point.

Last year we were 8-8 after 16 games.

Interestingly,last year we also had a 6 games losing streak at the start of the season followed by a 13-1 record in the next 14 games.

Let's hope we can do something like that this year because .500 is slowly running away from us and the schedule is getting tougher.

I think they'll turn the corner, but still it's not much different than last season.

I wasn't talking about records, I was referring to the effort.

This team for years plays up and down to their competition.

All scrub teams, Knicks really haven't showed up for more than 1 quarter in a game, just like last season, and quite a few prior to.

The records are irrelevant right now, teams will separate pretty much right around the middle point, no different than any other time.

Sarcastic · 01-23-2012, 08:45 AM

We will continue to lose as long as we have this coach.

bluechox2 · 01-23-2012, 10:21 AM

i predict teams like cavs and buck will eventually lose many games and knicks by default should have the 8th spot

Finishing 8th would be a disaster. We have 2 players that will be on Team USA. We should be 4th or better.

This.
8th seed probably means a 1st round exit because we would be playing the Bulls or Heat.

Why do I feel like bumping the overreaction threads today?

Because Lin saved the season.

Team wouldn't have turned it around without him and let's be fair,we still haven't turned it around completely.
We're still 15-15 but we have much more to hope for.

Like I said in another thread this wasn't really an overreaction.
Lin was a day from getting cut and this team without him wouldn't be nowhere near .500 therefore they would be out of the playoffs with tough schedule coming up.

franchize · 02-17-2012, 04:30 PM

I don't think the season is "saved". We could very easily go on an 8 game losing streak. We're only a .500 team

Knickscity can we bump the B-Diddy saving the season when he returns threads? Then can we show my quote where I told you guys he wouldnt be back any time soon? Pretty pleaaaaaassseeeee

Clutch · 03-13-2012, 09:18 AM

Knicks are AGAIN out of the playoffs.

This time it's far more concerning. 64% of season is behind us,when this thread was created it was only 25%.

Not only that but schedule is extremely tough until the end.
I say chances that we'll miss the playoffs are higher than that we'll make it.
