| Four games and four losses this week, with 3 of them being disgusting blowouts. It all makes sense when you take a look at the Knicks top 5 players this week. These last 20 games are going to really drag, especially if you’re looking forward to arguably the most interesting western conference playoffs we’ve ever seen. | |||
| Rank | Player | Comments | Last weeks Rank |
| 1 | Bargnani, Andrea | Bargnani looked great in the two games against the Pacers. Like really good. And he didn’t look good in the Kings and Nuggets game. Reason 415 why I don’t want the Knicks to sign Hibbert, who was held to 3 points and 0-6 shooting. Against Bargs. | 1 |
| 2 | Shved, Alexey | I am quickly becoming a Shvedhead. He’s by far the best on this team at drawing fouls, and he can rebound and pass. He even found his shot against the Nuggets. | 5 |
| 3 | Larkin, Shane | Larkin had an OK week. He led the team in assists in two of the four games and didn’t turn the ball over too much. | 8 |
| 4 | Amundson, Lou | Lou missed a game with back spasms and then played 14 minutes off the bench and managed to get more rebounds than our starting PF that game (Smith 1 board in 21 minutes). | 2 |
| 5 | Galloway, Langston | Galloway had 2 decent games but he also managed to get a +/- of -40 against the Kings. How is that even possible? | 4 |
| 6 | Aldrich, Cole | Cole led the team in rebounding in 3 of the 4 games, twice playing 20 minutes or less. I know the bar isn’t set very high with our starting backcourt, but why isn’t he in our starting backcourt? | 10 |
| 7 | Smith, Jason | I think I ran out of nice things to say already. Smith managed a zero and a 1 rebound game this week. This is half of our starting backcourt. When Bargs is the rebounder on the team you have a problem. | 6 |
| 8 | Early, Cleanthony | Early looked like an actual NBA player against the Nuggets. That NBA player would be a 10th or 11th man, but that’s still progress. | 9 |
| 9 | Calderon, Jose | Calderon moves up because 1. He’s helping with the tank by not playing and 2. I couldn’t justify putting anyone else here. They’ve all been that bad. | 13 |
| 10 | Wear, Travis | I think his career peaked with doing a decent job at covering LeBron. It’s looking like we’ll be parting ways in 20 games. | 12 |
| 11 | Acy, Quincy | I’m guessing the play from Acy earlier in the season was a fluke because he doesn’t even look like an NBA player anymore. | 11 |
| 12 | Thomas, Lance | Thomas went 3-16 in the first 3 games this week and was of course promoted to starter….where he went 1-7. | 7 |
| 13 | Hardaway Jr., Tim | Wow, that was fast. 1 good week and we’re back to complete crap. THJ literally can’t do anything else on the court and he had games of 2-7, 5-17, and 0-9 before hurting his back. | 3 |
| 14 | Anthony, Carmelo | Should we start calling him Amare Stoudemire 2.0, Eddy Curry 3.0 or Allan Houston 4.0? | 14 |
