Can we catch the Knicks?

[kgainez]

we have 20 games left. 10 on the road. 10 at home

Knicks have no Amare. No Melo. I feel like the Knicks will actually go on a run...but what do you think? Do we really have a shot at the Atlantic Title and #3 seed?

I think we do for sure. Knicks have a tough schedule ahead if im not mistaken.

To me it really comes down to the 2 remaining knicks games. I think wed ned to win both in order to reallly ramp the pressure up.

Yes.  The goal should be the 3rd seed.


Though I would be perfectly happy with the 6th seed if the knicks are still the 3rd seed.

Yes, they are about to play their toughest part of the season @ GS tonight, @ Penver, @ Portland, @ Clippers @ Utah. If they win two of those that would be a successful road trip. I think they also play OKC Indiana and Miami. I think if we sweep them and go 13-7 we have a very good chance to pass them.

Knicks are about to embark on a five-game West Coast swing, although it sounds like they get Melo back soon.

5 game lead in the standings, with 2 games at hand. It may be tough sledding for the Cs with only 20 games remaining. They'll basically need to continue to play at their current post-Rondo percentage, and have the Knicks play .500 ball the rest of the way.

I can see both happening.

This next two weeks is when we need to make our move, but we have to handle our business with the bad teams and then beat NY in the set of head to head we have with them.  We are 5 games back.  If we can do that, couple with NYs road trip, we can take the lead in that head to head match up.  Would not want it any other way!  Honey Nut Cheerios!
