Hope for 3-1, settle for 2-2, disappointed with 1-3 or 0-4.

Only 20 games left so every game is important. Knicks are feeling a lot of confidence now. They had that big come back against the Wizards sandwiched by dominating the Hawks and Pelicans. If we could only play against teams with avian mascots the Knicks would be at the top of the conference.

Since the Hart trade the Knicks have held teams to a shade under 30% from the 3 point line. (38/162)
The Celtics are number 2 in the league with 16 made 3's a game. That will determine the winner. Especially how Robinson and Hart do closing out the likes of Horford Muscala and Grant Williams.

That is nuts! Vegas has the sixth seed beating the top team in the league? Wow!

great measuring stick run... I think we are 3-1 with a split vs. Boston

Knicks are really hot tho.. they have a legit formula and dont need hot shooting to beat anyone. We can grind out wins. Looking forward to this stretch

+2!

These are winnable games - with the way we've been playing, all of our games are winnable.

The Celtics are getting healthy-ish after a bad patch. The key to their team is stopping Tatum - that guy has really elevated his game in his time in the league and effectively plays 1-4 - and sees the floor like a PG.

The good news is Hart gives us a new counter against him. Grimes in particular works hard, but Hart is another level up at this phase of his career.

And with the extra playing time while Mitch was out, iHart and Sims are more prepared for big minutes as needed.

We're 5-0 and undefeated since the trade of Josh Hart + 2-0 and undefeated since Mitchell Robinson's return.

I'm going 4-0 and undefeated against Boston (2x) and Miami/Brooklyn.

(Until proven otherwise I feel we're untouchable right now).

Nets (tying season series) and Heat (guaranteeing tie) wins both go a LOOOOONG way to tie-breaker scenarios.

From a practical standpoint, those are the big gets.

Yes thats my thinking.

Celtics - Win
Nets - Win
Heat - Loss (Even though we have Hart, Love always kills us)
Celtics - Loss (Assuming Brown is back by then)

Are we still doubting the 2023 new look Knicks?
4-0!!

But if are putting a few grand in it, I say 3-1.
Hard to beat a team twice in a short stretch. Tonight, without Brown, much easier win. Nets will be no problem. Think we are better than Miami. I say 3-1.
