| The Knicks lost every game this week, no one is playing particularly well, and now coach Fisher has been fired. Greek Salad hasn’t been resigned yet so we’re back down to 14 players on the roster. | |||

| 1 | Lopez, Robin | Lopez started off the week with a great game agains the Celtics and a Monster game against the Pistons. He also played 30 minutes or more in every game this week. He didn’t do anything against the Nuggets, but no one strung together 4 good games this week and that 26 and 16 game against Detroit was most impressive. Good enough for Lopez first #1 ranking of the season. | 3 |
| 2 | Porzingis, Kristaps | Porzingis did the opposite of Lopez, played poorly against Boston and Detroit and then looked amazing against Memphis and Denver. Imagine one day all our guys played well at the same time? | 4 |
| 3 | Afflalo, Arron | This is representative of how bad the Knicks have been. Afflalo didn’t have a very good week and moved up 2 spots. | 5 |
| 4 | Anthony, Carmelo | Oh my lord did Melo shoot bad this week. He said it’s because his knee is hurting which is just great. Years 1 and 2 of his max contract have been disasters. Good thing Melo got to the line, rebounded, and passed to make up for his shooting, but now he’s starting to miss a bunch of games so I’m getting pretty nervos. | 1 |
| 5 | Galloway, Langston | Galloway had a nice showing against Detroit, but was absolute trash in the games he started this week. Continue reading | |

2015/16 Knicks Roster Power Rankings – Week 15
| This is the first week this season in which the Knicks have a full roster of 15, after signing Thanasis Antetokounmpo. Other than that, this week was pretty much what you’d expect; losses to Toronto and OKC and a win against the wretched Suns. This is a hard week to rank and no one really played particularly well in the two losses. | |||
| Rank | Player | Comments | Last weeks Rank |
| 1 | Anthony, Carmelo | After sitting out against Toronto, Melo came back with back to back double doubles, and was 2 assists shy of a triple double against the Suns. | 1 |
| 2 | Galloway, Langston | Solid week for Langston in Calderons absense. Shooting is erratic, but defense and ball movement have been decent. | 8 |
| 3 | Lopez, Robin | Consistently one of the best +/- on the team. Odd that he only plays 24mpg. | 3 |
| 4 | Porzingis, Kristaps | We learned this week that Porzingis is a lot slower than Dramond Green. A LOT. | 2 |
| 5 | Afflalo, Arron | How can Afflalo look so good some games and so completely terrible in others? Continue reading | |

2015/16 Knicks Roster Power Rankings – Week 14
Once again the Knicks hit .500 and once again go on a losing streak. Melo played hurt and then didn’t play. Lance missed some games and we realized how much he means to the team. The rankings look pretty different this week due to injuries and some up and down play. The OKC game is included in these rankings because I’m doing this a day late this week.

| 1 | Williams, Derrick | Yeah I went there. Who else had a better week than Williams? Back to back double doubles with 19 and 21 points, yes please. | 4 |
| 2 | Lopez, Robin | Monster game against the Jazz, and respectable showings the rest of the week. | 5 |
| 3 | Galloway, Langston | Galloway almost saved the day in OKC. Watch him finally get his groove and get thrown into a Jeff Teague trade. | 6 |
| 4 | Porzingis, Kristaps | Shot is still sporadic, but pretty much every game he does something that makes me giddy. | 2 |
| 5 | Anthony, Carmelo | Melo started off the week hot but was progressively more hobbled each game, culminating in a DNP against OKC. If the Knicks are going to make a playoff push Melo has to get healthy fast. Continue reading |
Episode 324: Nothing Without Lance
Marc, Jay, and Will talk about the last 3 games, the Cavs firing Blatt, Lance the glue guy, taking back our Melo comment from last episode, revisiting the offseason moves, and much more
2015/16 Knicks Roster Power Rankings – Week 13
The Knicks went 2-2 this week. That’s OK, but losing to Brooklyn and needing double overtime to beat the ’76ers isn’t good. I guess it could have been worse, and there were some nice performances in Melo’s 2 game absence.
| Rank | Player | Comments | Last weeks Rank |
| 1 | Afflalo, Arron | 3 really nice games for Arron this week. We’ll ignore the Grizzlies game. The Knicks win almost every time Arron scores over 20 points. | 2 |
| 2 | Porzingis, Kristaps | Porzingis has had good shooting nights more often than not lately. It looks like stamina is the only thing holding him back, which is understandable since he has already played more minutes than all of last season. | 3 |
| 3 | Anthony, Carmelo | If anyone was wondering just how important Melo is to this team, the Nets game should be a good indication. The Knicks can’t even beat the dregs of the league without Melo. | 1 |
| 4 | Williams, Derrick | Williams was one of the only guys who showed against Brooklyn. Not sure why his minutes fluctuate so much (defense? Shot selection?) but he puts up great numbers when he plays more than 20. | 5 |
| 5 | Lopez, Robin | I still can’t figure out why sometimes Robin looks like he has some offense and sometimes he looks like Dennis Rodman on offense. Continue reading |

2015/16 Knicks Roster Power Rankings – Week 12
It looks like that embarrassment against the Bulls on the 1st really rallied this team. A 3 and 1 week with the one loss being a missed 3 at the buzzer, which would have made the Knicks the first team to beat the Spurs at home all season.
Episode 322: Suddenly Good
Marc and Jay talk about the last 4 games, Derek Fisher seems to be learning, the last beast report, trade scenarios, Calderons increasing value, and much more
