Debatable. Knicks are 31-15 while the Clippers are 34-16.
Clippers are better percentage wise but played more games and have one more loss.
Knicks have two winnable games coming up (Wizards,Wolves) before facing the Clippers at MSG while the Clippers have to face Miami.
Not saying it will happen but it certainly a possibility that Knicks win their 2 games and then beat the Clippers at MSG while the Clippers lose against Miami and beat Orlando.
Then the Knicks would have a 34-15 record while the Clippers would be 35-18.
That's just a possibility,it could go other way and the Knicks might lose all 3 with Clippers winning all 3 but I say this scenario is more likely considering CP3 is out and that the Clipps have been playing like shit lately.
... nothing is debatable dude. Clippers currently have a better record, therefor WOULD have HCA. . Never said it can't change. Luckily for us Billups, Griffin and Paul are all set to return vs Miami or Orlando per the most recent report.

Are you still acting like Billups a 36 year old player coming off a MAJOR injury that shot 36.4 % from the field BEFORE his injury is going to save the day?
and Griffin has missed one game you swear like he has been gone forever.

Go look at the Clippers team numbers in the 3 games Billups was back. The team got an immediate, sizable boost on both ends of the floor. His intangibles and poise are HUGE for this team. Griffin missed one game... but can potential miss more which is why I said luckily all 3 should return, not sure why that's confusing.

You won against the Timberwolves by 6, Kings and Utah by 1 point And that was during the winning streak, if anything he made it worse

Yes because that's what I was talking about. Billups' presence greatly affected the team. Assists were up, defensive efficiency was up and the Clippers won a game by 35 which was their biggest win margin all year and one of the biggest in franchise history. If you can't see the leadership and poise Billups brings and how much impact he has on teammates such as Jordan, not sure what to tell you man. It's sad how a person can have such a low IQ that they put hours into watching a team regularly yet know almost nothing.
BTW Clippers are 20-7 with Billups in the starting lineup dating back to last year. Their best win percentage, seeding and team numbers last year were with Billups and once he went down they lost a lot. This year.. although he was rusty as hell and shot poorly... his defense and poise down the stretch helped and he actually sealed the Jazz game.
Yup. Nevermind Chris Paul and Blake returning. Or the fact that Willie Green has 6 total points now in 5 games and is the worst defender on the team. In fact Green is one of the only -RAPM and -WARP players in the entire NBA and statistically is THE worst starter in the NBA last I checked. It's not about how great Billups is but rather how bad Green is.
