If NY, PHI, MIL, & INDY all win tomorrow, I think that locks the Knicks into the 3rd seed, do they:

Most of these teams in playoffs are solid or very good - with this particular team I hesitate to try and negotiate the schedule to target a specific matchup because BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR.

For example I think most Knick fans are clamoring for Cleveland in round 1. Can we beat Cleveland - sure but again be careful what you wish for unless it happens naturally.

I tend to think Thibs is going to continue to play everyone because we have a bunch of guys returning or adjusting and after what he witnessed in 4th quarter tonight I think he will be business as usual and play whoever we are seeded against.

I don’t think the 50 factors in at all.

So watch - he will sit everyone.

If this happens, I think he rests JB & Hart, maybe OG(doubt it), but plays the rest to win.

Mitch gets 40+ minutes to get his butt in shape

He is annoying me tbh — scares the he’ll out of me every time he touches the ball.

Upon further thought - I do think if they clinch 3rd they will shut it down because round 1 would match you against less experienced teams (Cavs, Pacers, Magic) vs potentially Heat/Sixers plus 3rd seed avoids Celtics in 2nd round if we get there.

Nope, you play for the win. You don't relax. Killers don't chill.

My vote is there are too many asterisks in this thread header.

play to win. Try to get lots of minutes for the bench guys. Take care of business. Get ready for round 1

Just use the NY Giants vs the Pats as an example. Go hot heading to the playoffs
