Fun fact: Deuce McBride now has the best individual defensive rating in the NBA for anyone who has played at least 85 minutes.
Call me crazy, but in 3 years we might be content with fact we kept QG,DM, RJB and those picks for DM.
And, for the here and now… even with JB in a slight rut and RJB about as awful as he could be and QG out most of year and DM just getting burn now…
1 less loss and Knicks are tied for 4th in EC. 1 more loss and they're tied for 12th. ORL, DET, CHA are out of mix... nobody catching BOS, MIL.
That's 10 teams in EC fighting for spots on the 3-10 mix, leaving 2 out of the bubble entirely and into lottery.
