I don't know, how many? I know the Knicks were missing 3 players.

Most teams are missing players at various points of the year. Would you give Miami Crawford Lee and Nate for Wade-I rest my case--oh yeah Miami has been winning games:)
See what I bolded? I agree, so why did you bring up that other teams may have been missing players?
You forgot to mention that they Miami has Shaq back who for my money is still a better player than Wade, and he will prove it by Miami being a better team with Shaq playing and Wade sitting than the reverse.
And Miami is the defending champs. So they should be able to step up, especially against the Knicks.
And we pretty much are a bad team trying to get better who just lost their starting SG and their best rebounder. Not that I care, you still have to play.
So why try to diminish the victories, especially against Miami, by pointing out the other teams who were missing players? Then you will have to give the Knicks that same excuse as well wouldn't we? That is my point.
All teams lose players and have injuries. No excuses. WE did and they did. I rest my case.

Good luck Mike D'Antoni, 'cause you ain't never seen nothing like this before!

i guess 4-2, since the knicks have been over .500 since some point this season. of course with this team you can never tell. but like bonn mentioned marbury has been going off lately, and that factors in too.

bottom line is, i would expect this team to be 3-3 over any random stretch of six games no matter who we're missing or what we're using for motivation. that's good in some ways, but it's not going to get us anywhere worthwhile.

If I understand correctly, you are saying the coach is so awesome it doesn't matter who plays, kind of like Jerry Sloan teams.
Oh yeah:
