The Knicks Will Regress This season 43-47 Wins .
The Knicks as currently constructed are a House of Cards foundation.
Losing Isaiah Hartenstein
Was a Crushing Blow .
The Knicks Deploying Small Soldiers Rotations to Attempt to Fill the Void at the Center position is a Recipe for Disaster concerning injuries to Fragile players .
Tom Thibodeau is the knicks Achilles Heel due to his insistence on Rolling with 7-9 Player Rotations Running players into the Ground.
The Vast majority of the League has improved.
Quality Playoff Teams that Were Decimated Will Be Returning Healthy Will Return To Form With Improved Death
The Knicks are very deficient at the center position Will be overwhelmed with Teams With Sufficient Size Length Athleticism .
Atlanta Hawks Winning the Draft Lottery this year as a Playin Team Winning 36 Games Changed the Game .
I'm of the belief that Teams will follow the Hawks Blueprint Remaining competitive to Win The Copper Flagg Sweepstakes.
The Knicks Dominated Lottery Teams last season 22-0
The Knicks Were 28-32 Against Elite Teams, Playoff Teams
The Knicks Were 9-21 Against Top Tier Teams

The Knicks Won't replicate the Similar Success against
Last Years Lottery Teams.
If The Knicks are Unable
To improve Their abysmal Record against Top Tier Teams 9-21 Major Regression is Very Realistic.
The Knicks Were 13-14
When Julius Randle & OG Anunoby were Sidelined
After Both Were injured against. Miami on January 27 th . The Knicks Won the Game
Unfortunately that Game Was the Beginning of the End for the Knicks . Tom Thibodeau
Makes Poor judgement calls
The Knicks had that Game Won Against Miami in the Third Quarter. Two Unnecessary injuries To Julius Randle, OG Anunoby sabotaged the Knicks Championship aspirations.
Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart Were Both suffered minor injuries at the End of the game against Miami on January 27 th.
Tom Thibodeau Kept Both Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart in the Game with 90 Seconds Remaining in the 4 th The Knicks Were Up 20 Points.
Tom Thibodeau the Demolition Man is completely
incompetent.
15-15 Against Western Conference Teams
Top Tier Teams 2-8
Dallas 0-2
OKC 0-2
New Orleans 0-2

Knicks Against Western Conference Teams
12-18
Outcome
43-39 .
If we can get a backup center like Walker Kessler, Jalen Duren, Bismack Biyombo, Davis Bertans, or Orlando Robinson. The Knicks will have a 69/13 regular season standings…
🔶️🔷️🗽🏀
Trade McBride or lose him for nothing in the expansion draft. That’s the bottom line!
We can only protect 8 in expansion I have 6 guaranteed spots Nova Knicks + Randle and OG
McBride and Robinson are playing for there Knick futures
We need to protect a Center not named Robinson with the 7th spot, Thus the trade
8th spot organization decision between Kolek and Padet’
This needs to be the narrative we need to be prepared for expansion….
