After tonights victory over the Utah Jazz, the Knicks are only 3 1/2 games back of Atlanta for the 5 seed.
One game @ a time, starting with Memphis, but I like our chances of passing Atlanta for the 5th seed.
Orlando could become just about impossible to catch for the 4th seed & home court advantage during the 1st round of the playoffs, but we have gained two full games on Orlando in as many nights. Went from 8 back to 6 back in an instant.
We still play Orlando two more times. Will we sweep or even split the two game series? Who knows, only time will tell, but I love the fact that both games are in MSG. Protect our home court & sweep those two games (which is possible) & the Knicks are 4 games back of Orlando with about 17-18 games left on the schedule. Orlando still has to play teams such as the Lakers, Bulls, Hawks & 76ers. Who knows what will happen?
I seriously doubt we can catch Orlando for the important 4th seed; but that still won't stop me from pulling for NY W's & ORL L's from here on out.
