Well…..
Because the East is so bad even though the Knicks are 19 games under .500 they are “only” 8 games back in the loss column for the 8th playoff spot (6.5 half games overall). So, Felton technically isn’t wrong, but with only 21 games to go in their season the Knicks would have to go on a magical run (they are 1-9 in their last 10 games). Let’s just be honest, it is all but over for them.
Felton, on NYK playoff chances: "Until that [ticker] goes across the screen and says we ain't got a chance" we still think we have one.
