After a 5 game losing streak and 2 wins we are still in the playoff picture this early in the season. You folks think playoffs is possible, what teams are under performing and may come back to take the spots .

I think everyone should lower their expectations. We should have lost that game. And Boston was terrible yesterday.
We fight hard and we can improve. Let’s just be happy with that.
I don't understand your reasoning. Any NBA team can win on a given night. A team playing terrible is part of the NBA. Good teams prevail, and we've seen these Knicks come back from 15 down to win as well as blow 14pt 4th quarter leads and still win.
My reasoning is these two wins shouldnt delude anyone into thinking we’re a playoff caliber team. We looked terrible today and over a 72 game season, the wins and losses start to reflect your talent level.
I get what your saying, But I could easily say we had no business losing that game against the Cavs either.
This right here
We might have a shot. Our consistency will determine if we make it in or not. Whether we make it or not, I'm still happy with the team and the direction they're going in
LETS GO KNICKS!!!!!!!!
The reality is we have a slim chance. We will probably have to win 33 games to get the 8th seed. We'll have to win 45% of our match ups for the rest of season or 26 games out of 57 remaining games. I don't see that happening. Also we've played more games than every good team below us, which is why we have more wins than all of them. It's a quick season, so whatever teams gets hot will end up getting that 8th seed.
I think so. I think at this point it’s not a mirage. The Knicks are hitting above their weight but they are doing it consistently. It’s clear they aren’t the most offensively skilled team (nets really exposed that) but this team COMPETES on defense. And they do it every game. I think that’s enough to land 7-10 in the east.
At this point, I would be surprised if the Knicks weren’t in the playoff hunt later this year.
Kinda sucks because this team could really use Suggs or Cade but what can you do. Personally I still think the best case scenario is making it to a play in game, losing the series, keeping a lottery slot, and obviously winning lol but that’s a lot of ifs. Best to just enjoy the season and let it play out.
We def have a shot at the playoffs. The 9 and 10 seed have playoff play in games
I think Toronto and Miami figures things out and move into the playoffs. That leaves 1 seed for the rest of the east. I've enjoyed the Knicks so far this season, but i don't think these early wins are totally sustainable and the Knicks finish out of the playoffs.
Anything is possible. I think to get two wins after the losing streak is important and we need to build off of that.
Today’s game was pretty hard to watch but we won...In order to be able to compete with the best in the East, we need to be way more consistent on offense. Yes, this was a back-to-back after a big win yesterday but we were lucky to win this one.
I think everybody (myself was included) after the winning streak but then we fell down to Earth. I still think that we are better in some ways than anticipated but consistency is key. If we can compete for all 48 minutes and not go into huge offensive slumps, the playoffs are a definite possibility.
Ultimately, it’s one game at a time and I’m happy for the bounce back wins.
Hard to say but so far, with injuries and against good teams..... We’ve been decent through 10 games. We still can’t shoot and we need 2 of our guys to have a good game and our defense to work to win. We have a good defense and we might crawl into the playoffs.
Depends on Quickley for me. I can’t imagine we make the playoffs with Payton being our starting point guard, and if Quickley doesn’t keep improving and snatch the starting job from him then I don’t see it.
Maybe 8th. Toronto and Miami will figure it out and move up on the standings. We would have to compete with Atlanta, Orlando and Charlotte for the 8th spot.
The east is top heavy but the lower seeds are up for grabs If we continue to hang around .500 then we will be a playoff team.
Just sit back and enjoy the growth of this team win or lose its nice to see them building the right way.
