Is the starting lineup the correct lineup?

mix of players like does it make sense to have josh hart out there does it make sense to have mikhail bridges out there when this guy does absolutely nothing games at a time the knicks are looking as bad as they did after winning the nba cup like they went on their great win streak here in the middle of march and just the exact same way they're not giving an effort they seem like they're just ready for the playoffs to start every postgame interview is like oh we got to be better we got to get on track before the playoffs you got like five games left

It's not a lot of time to be trying to figure out how to actually fit together going forward.

So I think, I don't know.

I don't think panic is the right word for the Knicks, but you can't be feeling too good going into the postseason playing this poorly.

I was thinking how great the Knicks are, how much they would fit right in in the Western Conference with the way they play, the ups and downs.

There's sort of been rockets-like or wolves-like where it's like, catch them on the right week, look like obviously a finalist.

Catch them on the wrong week?

You're like, what the hell's wrong with this team?

Are they just like, yeah, just going through the motions right now?

I've said that for a while now with the Knicks.

I think more than any team, they're like, let's just start the playoffs already.

We know where we are.

We like our squad.

We have confidence.

We can go far.

And I do believe they'll ratchet it up a little bit come postseason, but still not good.

It doesn't give you a lot of confidence as you end the season like this.

This was an ass-kicking.

Also, JD, please throw up the Western Conference standing.
