I been wanting to put this Thread up since the beginning of the season to compare our Knicks with other teams in the league, plus the 4th quarter decision-making from top coaches n top players for wins n visa-versa ...

So far the 2014-15 Championship GS Warriors has been the top-top elite team in the league starting the season off going on a 24-0 run record with a elite 9 to 11 man rotation of SSOL players making Steph Curry n Klay Thomas speed the #1 backcourt tandem in 2015-16 season.

The Portland Blazer who so many people (myself included) gave up on for the 2015-16 season when their franchise player Aldridge sign with the Spurs in the offseason .. so far they are a 7 seed team climbing to be a 5 seed team.
Yes, the Portland Blazers fooled all unbelievable fans by having the #2 top backcourt in the league in Damian Lillard n C.J. McCollum, their backcourt is so dominant because of their 4 BIG-Men in the rotation (Plumlee Leonard Ed Davis and Noah Vonleh) complimenting the guards performance on offense n defense. SF Al-Farouq Aminu and SF Harkless maybe 6.9 in height and a huge part of Blazers rotation but they are not the 4 Big-men controlling the post.

Without Lebron the Washington Wizards blew-out the Cavs last night from start to finish 113 - 99

Good thread Kiya. Rady should sticky this for daily action around the league.

I agree about Portland, Olshey has done a great job filling in for the loss of 3 starters in making them a playoff team.

With 30M this off season and Melo as a building block you would have thought Phil could have done the same but something has gone haywire because I expected the Knicks to struggle early while they built chemistry not start off hot and go 4-17 more than halfway through the season.

Steph ties the 3pt record of 12 in a game against OKC. Big O should comment on this video, out of the 12 3's there wasn't one where you could say he was wide open, his 40 ft shot was the exception.

You replace Melo with Lebron and the Knicks are in the NBA Finals. You replace Calderon with Curry and the Knicks are a dynasty team.

The Milwaukee Bucks look like a entirely different team without PG Michael Carter-Williams.
The Bucks never should've gave-up PG Brandon Knight for a tier-2 PG MCW
Point-Forward Ant looked much better at the point last night in Bucks win over the Rockets

The Rockets are the flip side of your Trailblazers Kiya. Very disappointing season after going to the WC finals last season, they can't stop anybody, their games look like NBA All-Star games with no D played.

Thibs visited Houston when he was going around the league meeting with teams and they badly need a defensive coach, he may wind up there. Thibs is going to be in demand this off-season, going to take PJ to offer him a kings ransom to get him here.

Well, based on recent numbers, Dolan is supposedly the 6th richest owner in the NBA, so if we lose out on a chance to turn this franchise around based solely on money, then we literally have nothing going for us.

The Clippers are not going anywhere this season without Blake Griffin .. Tonite OKC held a 25 point lead for 2 quarters against the Clippers

Detroit Piston coach SVG watch the Spurs hold their lead playin hack-Drummond any time the Pistons tried to go on a run in the 4th qtr.

The Bulls gave-up tonite to give Magic a win .. this loss may confirm Rose won't be a Chicago Bull next season

WOW! Westbrook n Durant had a 25 point lead n loss the game to Clippers!
Doc on the bench n CP3 on the court showed to be two great coaches tonite for a Clipper win.
D'Andre Jordan was hitting his FT shots tonight plus he owned the paint for 18 rbs n 20 pts

OKC loss to Clippers last night using a 9 man rotation while Clippers used a 10 man rotation to win
Tonight OKC is using the same 9 man rotation vs a 11 man rotation GS Warriors team
OKC had a 10 point lead in the 3rd qrt. .. GS won the game 121 - 106

Durant called out his teammates yesterday after the 1st loss to the Warriors in an effort to get them fired up for this game, they and everyone else including the Spurs don't have the horses to beat them. If Durant really wants to win he'll go to the Warriors as a FA like those news stories are saying but I hope it isn't true, it will be a setback to league competitiveness having that team with Durant on it.

Spurs signing of Kevin Martin and Andre Miller is an obvious attempt to get more shooting and veteran savvy to beat the Warriors. They appear to have gotten better by adding them and dropping Mccallum and either Rasul Butler or Matt Bonner but I don't know if its enough.

Is Stephen Curry headed for the greatest season of all time?
 
A team with a 19% win percentage about to beat a team with a 92% win percentage in a blowout. Only on a Sunday afternoon in the NBA.

Just goes to prove the Knicks could go 11-8 the next 19. Have to start with wins in DEN and PHO, go Knicks. Maybe not enough to make the playoffs but enough to restore some respect.

Not going to comment on my thoughts on the likelihood of this happening, but I would love to see it.
