    Do you think they are losing on purpose because they feel they have a better chance at winning against boston than the heat come play off time?:rolleyes:

    NO? They are purposely losing to give us a good pick in the draft

    There is no guarantee that Boston will end up as the 2 seed so no.

    Ok, so their not doing it on purpose.

    But lets say a team gets caught losing purposely. Would they get punished?
    Morey is God. We are 9th in the west and climbing cause of his doings. Sending Shane to Memphis to lose purposely, and then sending brook to phoenix cause, he just loses games. Nah just kiddin.

    To position themselves on the 7th spot. And with Boston playing so badly after losing Perkins positioning them on the 2nd spot.

    Yes, yes they are. That's exactly why they've lost 2 in a row.

    nope, even with 2 superstars, they still suck.

    I dont think they could make the playoffs in the West.

    Maybe D'antoni's coaching only works with Steve Nash as the PG

    Knicks are overrated. That All offense and no defense BS will bite them in the ass come round 1. I dont care how many top scorers you have, you aint gonna win if you dont play defense.

    THIS!! I'm thinking Mr. Pringles himself is on the hot seat. This Knicks team is gonna be scary if they get JVG as a head coach wich certainly is a possibility.

    LOL that same mister pringles was doing fine with his team before they traded for Mel, now he's the problem? :rolleyes: That coach and Amare basically guaranteed the Knicks a playoff spot before Melo came in and the started losing more than they won.

    Obviously you're overlooking the yellow thug elephant in the room.

    To be fair, they were pretty mediocre before the Melo trade too, weren't they like hovering at the .500 mark. D'antoni will be the first one to go if this team continues to underachieve

    Heat would sweep the Knicks pretty easily.
