The Knicks' Progress with Carmelo

So, just to review, 53% of you thought the Knicks would finish below 4th place in the East, 38% thought they'd finish in 4th place, and 7% in 3rd.  Let's take a look at how they're doing 2 weeks after the blockbuster trade on February 21st.

 

At the moment the Knicks sit in 6th place in the East at 33-29.  they are 3 games behind Atlanta for 5th and 6 games behind Orlando for 4th.  Fortunately they still have 20 games to make up the difference; unfortunately that means they have to win 6 more games than the 2 teams ahead of them in those 20 games to reach my prediction of 4th place.  That's a tall order considering how good the teams are ahead of them.  I do still believe they have a good chance to nab 5th beacuse I don't think Atlanta is very good, but 4th is probably too much to ask for.
