After losing the Christmas showdown, the New York Knicks are still first in the league. In fact, their strength and record are enough to end the regular season's top fight three and a half months early.
Unless the New York Knicks suffer major injuries, it's almost certain they will continue this dominance and win rate.
They might not be able to defeat the Warriors, but they have more than enough to beat most teams in this league.
But New York fans know, this season what the Knicks need is not regular-season records, but the championship.
This is their only goal, this is the only goal for Yao Ming, Wade, and KG.
As long as this goal is not achieved, this season's New York Knicks are a failure.
Before Christmas, New Yorkers were brimming with confidence for the championship.
But now, for the final result of this season, they must draw a big question mark in their hearts.
The Knicks cannot handle the Warriors with dual ball-handlers, which is a very real problem.
