Well, come on, actual lottery luck! I don’t want to hear the Knicks’ name called for #12, 11 or 10!

2021-22 Game Thread: Knicks vs. Raptors: Will the Season End With One Last Meaningless Win?
The Raptors don’t have anything to play for tonight, while Thibs has the very important “Winning record through two seasons as a Knicks coach” record to play for tonight, so expect the Knicks to pull this one out.
That could be a problem, because the New Orleans Pelicans have locked up the #9 seed in the Western Conference and CJ McCollum has already tweeted (and then deleted) a tweet that suggested he won’t be playing much tonight, so the Pelicans (who are currently tied with the Knicks for the 11th worst record in the NBA) will quite possibly lose tonight against the Warriors, and thus a Knick win would send the Knicks towards their destiny, the 12th pick. However, a loss and a Pellies win would make the Knicks the default 11th pick and hell, even a split (where both the Knicks and the Pellies have the same result) would still leave the Knicks tied for the 11th, which is sadly a lot better than I ever expected, so that’s something!
Let’s go, someone!

Can the Knicks pull off the upset loss?
Seems unlikely.

The Knicks need to lose tonight, but at the same time, it’s hilarious how bad the Nets are this season, so I can’t say that I won’t smile if the Knicks win.

Big game today in Orlando. Can the Knicks seriously lose to these guys three times in a single season?
Seems hard to believe.
2021-22 Game Thread: Knicks vs. Fifth Straight Victim
The Knicks host the Charlotte Hornets in what is just about the most guaranteed win of the season, as the Knicks vie to keep their chances for the play-in to last until the last day of the season before they inevitably miss out.
There will be no Grimes or Fournier tonight, so I assume that means that Taj will play the 3.
Let’s go!

The Knicks go for an above .500 record in the second half.
Come on, 7% chance to move up!
