Not in panic mode yet but if we drop to 5 games under .500 by Christmas i might start crying tbh. No games for us the rest of the season is a guaranteed win for us anymore considering we lost to the Magic TWICE at home (accounting for 40% of their win total) and almost lost to the intentionally rebuilding Rockets 😔

Not Gonna Lie East Is pretty Strong this Season. With the Team you got i can still see in 6-8 Seed. 5 at Best.

My prediction earlier in October for the Knicks' record was 47-35 good enough for 5th-6th seed (also prediciting whoever gets the 1st Seed to have 55 wins) similar to what you said but with how we've played this far we might only be hovering around the 8th to as far down as the 10th seed by the end of the season.

We already benched Kemba which has helped our defense tremendously but our execution in the clutch has been horrendous all season and it's still.not enough to get us wins. If we're not over .500 by New Years we might need to start making or considering trades to bring in an all star level player

If Kemba really wasn't a shell of himself... I thought y'all would be better this year and stay as a mid-seed team with him & Fournier. Now I worry that y'all might be in the last playoff spots with the play-in tournament. Good if y'all are 9th or 10th but bad if y'all are 7th or 8th.

no SGA or Giddey but yeah they were fucked from minute 1 of the game lol, even dort had a +/- of over -50 which almost never happens in any NBA game

Still a colossal embarrassment lol, no Morant and no one even went off like that on the Grizzlies. Giddey is good tho, I remember a lot of people giving them bad rep for taking him even though the potential was there.

Somebody forgot to tell the Thunder that losing games won’t guarantee you the number 1 pick with the lottery odds in recent years, they taking the tank job way too far :kobeha:

Holy cow, I have never seen a blowout that big before. Grizzlies really served OKC a 5-star ass whooping.

Ngl I haven’t been watching them since the beginning of the year but what I’ve heard since hasn’t been pleasant, they apparently benched Kemba lol.

Kemba's unplayable on defense and even if he is hot from 3, the defense immediately targets him to either post up or score on. And because Kemba is short by NBA standards at 6' he doesn't feel comfortable closing out on open 3 point shots and the opposing team scouting report picked up on that and exploit him on every play. So Thibs had to make a choice on whether to keep him on for his scoring knowing that the defense would get a good look whenever Kemba was on the floor and made a choice to bench him (he can still come back with minutes in the future though, and might happen sooner than later).

December 15 is gonna be an extremely important date for the Knicks & Leon Rose. We need a trade badly
