I would rather not play Boston either but the majority of our next few games are extremely winnable..I would rather we get the W against the Sixers and boost confidence than have them lose so we can stay in 7th..With our confidence at 100%, this team can beat anybody in my opinion..Level of difficulty 1-10 for Celtics is a 10..For the Heat it's gonna be a 9 because they have so much pressure on their backs to dominate and win the East so it's gonna be tough regardless.

I guess D'Antoni felt that Carmelo can wreck the Sixers which is why he gave him so much rest, so he can do work tomorrow? Hope that was his reasoning

Boston doesn't scare me without Perk i wouldn't be suprised if Philly actually upset them if we don't get the 6th spot.

Aint a Knicks game without that lead shrinking a bit. I don't care if we won I find it bs for Melo to sit the entire 4th and Amar'e play most of it.

Guess one of yall dudes threatened Pringles to play Brown.

Don't know what Amar'e talking about trying to regain that 6th spot. Don't know why he'd want to play BOS when we haven't beaten them once. But maybe he and LeBron already have an agreement to rig it so they meet in the 1st round.

 

[upptempo8387]

Heat and Celtics currently have the same record and the Celtics have the tie-breaker so they would have the 2 seed if they end with the same record..Meaning we're actually probably safer in the 6th seed than the 7th...Whichever team wins the 2nd seed will probably have momentum coming off a solid end to the season so I would rather we snatch up the 6th

Was on and off with tonight's game due to the Metsies playing Philly, but it was refreshing to put it on and be up 20+ for most of the game. 

Derrick Brown's throwdown

I honestly don't mind that Melo sat the 4th, what's the point if the lowest they got it to was 12? 

Leading from wire to wire

4 game win streak

 

[tommykairaa]

Yay.

 

[true 3 blue]

Would you guys want us to move up to 6 and play Miami? Or is everyone cool with staying at 7 and playing Boston?

I'd like to get Miami over Boston.  Either series is going to be tough, but I see us winning more than 1 game against Miami where I think we would maybe get 1 against Boston.  That's just me though, what's the rest of Knick Nation think?
  

 

[hustleordie]

I want the 6th seed and I don't care who we play.

 

[yeeupp]

Rather play Miami. Nothing would be better than beating them, then Chicago.

 

[|A-Man|]

Dub broke it down nicely earlier. I'd personally prefer MIA anyway or CHI before BOS.

move up and play Miami

 

[sircharles2ol3]

I'll take MIA in a first round matchup. Melo vs. Lebron in the first round of the playoffs? I wanna see that. I wanna be the first team to stop the "Heatles" first run at a chip. #epiccccccccccc

 

[ruffrydya08]

Would love to beat the Heat but we'd have to shoot like tonight 4 times to move on, y'all better know the refs wouldn't let the Heatles lose if the games are close

 

[pr0phecy718]

Team nyk summit at Miami if we play them

Who's down to buying airplane tix, hotel reservations, etc

When they played the Magic I thought they could pull off a seven game winning streak. Now they look like they could win out

I would usually try to catch the replay but I don't think this game is worth it

[throwback1718]

Just came back.... Missed a good bit of the 1st quarter though.

I forgot how live and fun a game could be.
Derrick Brown was the final exclamation point .

I really wish I could see the bulls game.

Good W even though I was a little nervous toward the end.

And damn Moz....

 

[itshlittt]

damn i felt that pain for Mozgov...

 

[duba169]

just got back. has alot of fun. I don't know why sheldon hardly plays. i don't get why he wants to play amare at center for so much time.

its funny how melo learned to shoot threes in a month.

amare had a good game but wow man he is sooooo bad defensibly He moves like a stiff.

 

[d3si]

My two favorite teams Mets and Knicks won. Love it.

I feel bad for Mozgov. I wish him well. I hope he heals quickly. I hate players who flop at the last minute.

Stat on the defensive end as progressively seemed worse as the season goes on.

IDK what the heck is goin on,

Well since I like in Orlando , we planning a trip down there for games 1 and 2 if we do end up playing them

 

[Mister Meaner]

It's obvious that STAT is tired & his legs are probably shot.


Damn Moz, get well soon.
