For those as petty as me, tonight is a must-win!
32 wins, what we have now, puts Chicago's pick in the 6-8 range. About a 5% chance of getting the top pick, and a 5% getting the second pick. An equivalent chance of someone with a worse record getting a top 3 pick.
33 wins, and the pick is int he 8-10 range! Only about a 1.7% chance of disaster.
I don't sleep well worrying about 22 May. And I will never sleep well knowing we gave up Durant or Oden for a great scoring centre who absolultely cannot be guarded in single coverage but does not rebound in traffic, rotate, block shots, run the floor particularly well, get his hands in the opponents face, get his hands on loose balls, intimidate defensively, stay out of foul trouble, limit turnovers, pass out of the double team, hit his free throws with consistency, have an innate understanding of defensive (or offensive positioning) or hit anything outside 10 feet. Except for that one time against Milwaukee.
I like Eddy. But giving up Durant or Oden is too much. I'll learn to live with Tyrus and Brewer or whatever (and I love both those players). But not the big guns.

Necessities
Ye Newe Glory-torium
Here, dear readers, is the final resting place of all weary Knicks fans. Yes, here is where one comes when the Triangle refuses to have three sides, when biting one's lip from losing to win later is one loss too far,or when said fan simply hits 'rock' bottom. In short, "the ship be" eternally "sinking" here. Welcome aboard, rearrange the deck chairs as you please.

Don't make a damn bit a difference. We still traded double lottos for a guy you can't play in the last five minutes cause he can't defend a stationary object.
Curry could easily hold a stationary object under 20 (if his guards double down every now and again)
OK, but only if the guards are Mardy and Steph not Stevie and Craw
