Chandler might not play today. Good thing the Heatles don’t have a center either. Predictions? Do we steal one on the road today? Does LeBron fade in the 4th, does Bosh cry, does Shump shut Wade down?

Knicks @ Hawks 4/22/12 – Game Thread
The Knicks clinched a playoff spot this weekend and with the loss to the Cavs we’re stuck in either 7th or 8th. Do we try to get the 8th seed so we can play the Bulls? Is that even a good idea considering they can rebound and we can’t?
Knicks vs Celtics 4/17/12 – Game Thread
Which Just Ridiculous Smith will we see tonight? Can Shumpert stop Rondo? Will Baron decompose by halftime? Pierce vs Melo is always fun. Lets hope the Knicks get one step closer to clinching that playoff spot.

Notes from Last Night’s Match-up of the Bulls vs. Developmental League Knicks
Was this guy really supposed to be our savior at point guard???
- Do you remember how everyone was worried that when Baron came back he would insist on taking over the starting role from Jeremy Lin. Well Lin is out for the year and Baron still insists on playing back up point guard even if we don’t have a goddam starting point guard.
- How do the Knicks choose which quarter not to play each night? Did they pick the 2nd quarter out of a hat before the game?
- Why can’t this team be good at both offense and defense. Last year they rocked on offense but couldn’t play a lick of defense. Now since Woodson took over they have the best defense in the league and a pathetic offense. Do the Knicks need to bring D’Antoni back as Woodson’s offensive coordinator? Continue reading

The Knicks display their lack of desire to lead catch division leader
This is a photo of the Knicks shot selection tonight:
The Knicks had a chance to close the gap on the 76ers tonight, playing the terrible Raptors. They had a multi-faceted strategy:
- Turn the ball over every other possession
- Miss at least 10 layups and/or dunks
- Miss as many shots as possible
- Don’t tire yourself out contesting any Raptors driving to the basket
- J.R. Smith should shoot constantly no matter how contested or how far from the net he is
- Keep Jorts on the bench even though Jeffries is injured
- Throw the ball into the stands at least once a quarter
- Make sure no one is boxed out, someone might accidentally get a rebound if that happens
This strategy did not work.
Carmelo Admits to Dogging It
Carmelo Anthony said that since Mike Woodson took over he’s had focus and energy he hasn’t had all season. It’s not like this is game 5 of the season. It’s game 45 and he finally decides to try on defense. What a guy! It’s good to know that our 18 million dollar a year man decided to start trying. Now it would be nice if he could remember how to shoot again too.
What pisses me off the most is that the Knicks have a much better chance of getting out of the first round if we finish the season as the 6th seed and play the Magic instead of the Heat or Bulls. We have 19 games to make up 3. That’s doesn’t leave much room for error. I can’t help but think if Melo graced us with some effort a few games earlier our road to the 6th seed would be much easier. And if the plan was to get D’Antoni fired don’t half-ass it, just completely tank and let management make a decision 20 games ago.
Don’t get me wrong, we’re on a 5 game winning streak and everything seems great now, but if this is the kind of personality we’re dealing with who knows when he’s going to lose his motivation again. He had 18 million reasons not to the first few months of the season and that didn’t seem to work.
