Now the Knicks need to take care of business against the Raps.  
The Sixers and Celts play each other.  This is weird, cuz we have 
Bos2 games ahead of us too.  Still we need Bos to step up and win.

how weird is it that the Bucks games might be the biggest games left?

Bucks are playing extremely fast and loose. They have a ton of perimeter shooting. Good passing and BB IQ. You have to play tough D and slow them down. It won't be easy, but if the Knicks play up into their man like they're doing now, they can beat them.

If the Celts wins, that pushes the Bucks off our backs a bit, but if the Bucks win, it just pushes the Celts down a game closer to us. Then the next day the Celts and Sixers play. It's freaking awesome!!!

There ya go!!

I think I'll be rooting for the Bucks tomorrow and the C's on Friday. Can't let the C's get hot if we want to steal the division.

Yea good point. We can take care of the Bucks later ourselves. Let them smack the C's for us and take them down a peg.

The Celts April sched is pretty tough aswell....As long as we continue to play the way we've played over this 5 game stretch, we will have a chance to beat anyone.

So whoever wins the Atlantic gets a top 4 seed? Based on this assumption, the 3rd and 5th seed could have a better record, but the Knicks would be cemented as the 4 as long as they beat out Boston and Philly.

Is this correct and when was this rule implemented? It's been a while, I guess.
