Carmelo Anthony scored a team-high 24 points in the Knicks' win over the Celtics on Sunday. The numbers were hard to miss.
On the white board in a back corner of the Knicks' locker room, "50" was written in blue marker, big enough for everyone to see.
Under the number was the word "goal" -- written in big blue letters.
Nothing subtle about it.
"Anytime you can get 50 wins in a season, it's huge," Kenyon Martin said. "We're trying."
The Knicks haven't won 50 games in 12 seasons, but they are well within reach after Sunday's win over Boston.
And Rasheed Wallace wanted his teammates to know it after the win.
So he sent the message by writing it on the white board during the Knicks' win over the Celtics game.
"We came in here and that was up there," Steve Novak said. "Once we were in the huddle and broke (Wallace) kind of stopped everybody and said, 'Hey, the 50's up there' and he explained it. He's right."
The Knicks have 46 wins with 10 games to play. Of course, no one in the Knick locker room would be satisfied with a 4-6 finish to the season.
But 50 wins would be a significant accomplishment for a franchise that floundered for most of the 2000s.
"It means a lot," Raymond Felton said. "To have guys out like we do and have guys banged up throughout the year to get a 50-win season is really big and says a lot for our team."
Teddy Nissan, the huggable dealer. SAS pushes that **** hard.
