The knicks or the sixers?  Knicks have the better roster but I feel they are going to be worse then the sixers the rest of the season.  The reason being the sixers play try every night and play hard while the knicks just dont.

 The Sixers are so bad but the Knicks suck. I get every game televised and follow them through Newsday (a Long Island paper) and they’ve literally turned off the entire fan base. The triangle offense does not fit this roster in any way, shape, or form and they just shipped off their best scorer and best perimeter defender, respectively, for absolutely nothing in return except cap space. It’s funny how everyone rips the Sixers and looks to change rules because of their "tanking" but Phil Jackson is legitimately tanking the Knicks and no one says a word.

Brett Brown is an NBA-level head coach and deserves to coach this Philadelphia team throughout their entire rebuild. If he were coaching the Knicks, I’d say they have 7-10 more wins and are at least competing for the 8th spot even with their myriad injuries. I am not sure Derek Fisher has any idea what he is doing, as he looks absolutely lost each and every night. He spends more time yelling at referees than actually making adjustments. I have never seen so many players look so lost night in and night out; they actually play better when they are down 15+ points because they ditch the triangle and play naturally as a team. Samuel Dalembert and Cole Aldrich initiate the offense from the block/mid-to-high post areas so often and it is such a mess. What coach in their right mind would do this?

Mike Woodson had this team as the 2nd seed in the Eastern Conference in 2012 with a similar and comparable roster and James Dolan and the media ran him out of town. Under Woodson, this team had an identity on both ends of the floor and could beat any team in the conference when they played to their potential. Through 37 games, Newsday (owned by Cablevision, which is also owned by Dolan) has yet to even question Derek Fisher and Phil Jackson’s courses of action, despite the fact that this Knicks team may be the worst ever. And that’s a scary thought because this team has been largely a mess since the Ewing era.

 For the 76ers, all their important players are 24 or younger.  The Knicks have the highly-paid veterans and also some youth, but with the experience of their stars they should play better.  Knicks 5 and 32, 76ers 5 wins and 28 losses.  The 76ers should win the pick as the worst, Shved was their best player for PER so they sent him out.

Maybe just wait for them to play against each other, 76ers win that game means Knicks are worst.

 The 76ers have a plan, and stick to it.  Five years of bad and lots of great draft picks, lots of cap-room and then they expect to be a very good team.  The Knicks, maybe they have just started a plan, be very bad this year and clear money and then add a top 3 pick to Carmelo and also have money to spend on a big free agent.  If Knicks traded away Calderon for an expiring deal, maybe they could sign two superstar free agents, LeBron and M Gasol?
