I mean, they have to be, right? How else can you explain such blind optimism by Magic in Isiah's Knicks:
"They're going to make the playoffs,'' said [Magic] Johnson, "They're going to be a tough seventh, eighth seed too, especially now that they're looking like they're turning the corner. I love the way (Nate) Robinson is playing and (Jamal) Crawford has been one of my favorite players anyway and the big men are going to settle in.''

"I think they're going to make the run because everyone is comfortable in their roles. And everybody is playing hard. You could see they are turning the corner. Now everyone knows their roles.''

"I can see when teams are starting to make their run. I think they'll settle in after the All-Star break and make their run. Because there's no way I don't see them making the seven and eighth seed when I look at the East.''

It would be just like the Knicks to miss the lottery when they finally have a pick.
