Offers Knicks Odds
The most recent win on Saturday
has stretched the Knicks record to 16 wins on
the season. However, even with the win they
are on pace to challenge the current franchise
record for fewest wins in a season. The current
franchise low of only 21 victories has happened
twice, in 1960-61 and again in 1962-63. However,
in all fairness, both of those teams played
only 80 or fewer games. The current Knicks are
lucky enough to play 82, making the accomplishment
deserving of much more attention.
"I
have a feeling that this is not what Larry Brown
expected when he left the Detroit Pistons,"
said WagerWeb.com CEO Dave Johnson. "The
New York Knicks are one of the most underachieving
teams in the NBA Basketball League. With the
highest annual payroll in the entire NBA, at
a little over $120,000,000, they have only notched
15 wins. The New Orleans Hornets have an annual
payroll of only $48,000,000, and they have 31
wins under their belt. Money doesn't always
buy wins in professional sports. The Knicks
will break their current mark for losses with
less than 5 wins in their 23 remaining games.
We expect to take a large amount of money on
19-20 wins which will break the record."
