Knicks

They have to beat one of the LA teams for sure. Could still fall into the 6 seed or even worse... the play in
 
Agree. If they beat either Lakers or Clippers, I'll feel pretty good about finishing 6th or better. If not, it's a crapshoot.
 
Have a good feeling about today. Knicks have been winning their national TV games lately

Knicks bench really depleted today with both Quickley & Burks out. Ntilikina with an airball, then matador defense on Rondo and a 1 point lead becomes a 3 point deficit as quarter ends.    
 
I'm sure there are lots of worthy candidates but seems like Derrick Rose should get some consideration for 6th man of the year.
 
2 plays that spoke volumes to me for the Knicks tiday. 3 minutes left in the 3rd Rose seeing the guy not paying attention ( I forget who it was ) but Rose came up from behind and blind sided him with the steal and with 2:15 left in the game Taj with the tie up jump ball Clippers eventually scored but it took a much needed 20 seconds off the clock. Small things help win games

Great call on today's game Jack. These Knicks are so damn tough. I've been singing Rose's praises but let's give kudos to Reggie Bullock for a great second half of the season as well! Gibson & Noel a tough 2 headed center also. Love these guys!! 
 
RJ still has a ways to go on improving his midrange and inside game... but today is the day to praise his defense.

Challenged Kawhi all afternoon. Locked up Paul George on a huge possession late...

Kawhi was visibly gassed by the end. RJ made him work for everything 
 
Hawks with 4 home games left, 2 against Wizards, 1 against the Magic and 1 against the Rockets. Kind of hard to imagine them going worse than 3-1. Not sure who would have tiebreaker between them and the Knicks but if our guys can win 3 of last 4 I like our chances for 4 seed which would be unbelievable.   
 
Tough OT loss by Knicks tonight. Blew lead in regulation and then horrible last possession with RJ hoisting up a prayer long 3 to lose by 2.
 
Very tough loss as Knicks are now in 6th place since they lose tiebreakers to both Hawks & Heat. Going to be tough for them to finish 4th now unless they sweep last three at home, even then would need both Hawks & Heat to lose once.

Frankly, not sure whether I'd rather see them play Bucks or Heat in first round but I'm leaning towards Bucks. 
Every time they had a chance to score and put Lakers away over last 3 minutes of regulation it didn't happen but Rose letting Matthews get that offensive rebound at the end of regulation was a killer.

All of that and 2 bad possessions by Randle at the end of regulation and in OT.  He's been great, but sometimes the ball just stops moving when he has it.  OTOH, he has been great this season.
 
Nice come from behind victory last night as they were down 17 in 3rd quarter to the Spurs. Huge game for Burks filling in some at point and they needed it as Thibs rested an exhausted Rose. Barrett bounced back nicely as well. If Knicks win out, they have a shot at 5th if Miami loses at Milwaukee, hard to see them getting 4th since Hawks would have to lose final game to the Rockets.  Great season for our guys no matter how it ends

Someone called sports talk radio last night and made a good point-Bucks may not want to beat Miami so they can avoid them in first round of playoffs. Consensus seems to be Miami the best of the 3 teams (Heat, Hawks, Knicks).
 
This is admittedly a reach but hey that's what Knick fans do. The Rockets still owe us for breaking our hearts in the 1993-1994 finals so beat the Hawks on Sunday night (assuming we win our final two)! 
 
Knicks lucky to get to OT today. Their execution on offense the last 4 minutes was reminiscent of the last 10 years. Have blown a 17 point lead.
 
Whew ! Excellent play in OT. Burks rally solid game Randall another triple double
