8th seed

Oh man 1/2 a GB!!! This is like playoff BB all the way. What a race for the 8th spot. The record isn't impressive but who gives a crap!!! PLAYOFFS!!!!

Cleveland has been playing bad against bad teams lately. Last night, they went to overtime against the Kings, and before that, they almost lost to the Clippers. Shit, we're better than those teams, we could pull an upset.

Our schedule isn't THAT bad. Couple games against the Magic, and road games against the Jazz and Nuggets. Besides those, all winnable games.

I know u really cant evaluate a player in the Summer-League Games however....the Knicks SLG.....all the different type of talents that was witness (as swingmen) from players Nate, Chandler, and Lee, in just two of their SLG performance showed they are career 30 mpg NBA players which could switch at two positions while in play.

This season:

Chandler is performing for next seasons 30 mpg playingtime (extension).
Nate is performing for a 6 year contract at a decent salary.
Lee is performing for a 6 year contract at a decent salary.
These 3-players with PG-Duhon aggressiveness to share the B-Ball as their leader at the point has prove to be just as good if not better than their East coast rivals Bucks, Bulls, Nets, Bobcat, Pacers, Raptors, and Wizards this season.

As for the playoff picture goes....I only want Nate, Lee, and Chandler, to get their first playoff experience (together) under coach Dantoni's basics....b/c Dantoni playoff experience strategy is an average C+ nothing hire....Dantoni's main rotation of players (in Phoenix) all had playoff experience before playing for Dantoni (which means alot when compared to this Knick roster). So I'm happy if these 3-players talents make this season playoffs with (only) just an offensive coach system.

its possible.. we know that, but they need to start showing veteran characteristics

suck me bean boy

Edy Cury will find way screws all tjhis up

Sigh... Bulls are going to get the 8th spot it seems. Unless they really mess up some easy wins

At least the Bobcats lost to the T-Wolves.

Only 1 game back!! If we can keep winning I believe the 8th seed is ours. I'm pumped for tomorrow's game, I really hope we come to play against the Cavs.

2 games vs NJ, 1 vs Toronto, 1 vs kings, 1 vs clippers,.. at home I'd say they have to win all of them to have a shot.

5 tough road games - at Cleveland, at Denver, at Utah, 2 at Orlando..likely won't win any of them.

Say though they blow 1 of the Toronto/NJ games...maybe they pull out a win in Orlando or Denver..I'll say in the end they go 5-5 in those 10 games.

The 7 other games are home - vs Orlando, vs hornets, vs Detroit..away - at Charlotte, at Toronto, at Chicago, at Miami will decide the season.

Those 7 will be real tough..they can easily go 0-7 in those games and no one will be surprised. I think they have to go 4-3 in those 7 to get in.

That would put them at 9-8 the rest of the way and 37 wins for the season, the same amount Atlanta had last year to win the 8th seed.

Nice break down of the remaining schedule...I thought chicago would have lost to the hornets but they spanked them last night. If we go 9-8 then that would put us at 37-45. Chicago would have to go 7-8 with 15 games left (two less then Knicks) and we need to win the last game agianst them to win the season series. We already lost the season series to the Bucks but can still take it from the Nets and Bobcats.

Our record will give us the 11 or 12 pick and the 8th seed we would get the 16th pick so it would be nice to see us make it just in case there are still Knick fans that want us to tank the reminder of the season.

We could upset teams in the playoffs!

Sweet. Nets lost to the Clippers today. But the Bucks beat the Celtics somehow.

I wasn't expected us to beat the Cavs with all the "Lebron Fouls" going on. But I definitely think we can beat some of the other better teams we are facing.

My hopes are still up there.

Chicago- 8th (31-37)
Opp. Win %=..449
Win % vs. Opp.=.375

Milwaukee- 9th (31-38)
Opp. Win %=.503
Win % vs. Opp.=.429

Charlotte- 10th (29-38)
Opp Win %=.475
Win % vs. Opp=.531

Knicks- 11th (28-38)
Opp. Win %=.481
Win % vs. Opp.= .550

Nets- 12th (28-39)
Opp. Win %= .560
Win % vs. Opp.=.385

Indiana- 13th (28-40)
Opp. Win %=.503
Win % vs. Opp.=.357


Deadass...Indiana is out.
New Jersey is out with Harris, even though we lost to them.
MIL is done, in my opinion.


So its really a 3 way race between the Bobcats, Knicks, and Bulls.

Who do you got, realistically?

As much as i truly truly truly HATE to say this.....Chicago.

Rose elevating his play, trading scrubs (except Nocioni) for salmons and miller was genius. They can't go wrong with 2 SFs in Deng and Salmons.
I will still laugh when Lebron hands them their asses in round one.


I wish we could snag Ramon Sessions from MIL.

Sessions lacks too much range to be in this system, he's a good player, but his abilities are limited...but he's been pretty efficient for his salary.
