After a loss like tonight it may seem that way, but until they actually fall out of contention for the Atlantic it's still possible. Boston could easily fall back to us over the course of this April stretch. If you look at it, it's a BRUTAL stretch of games and they're gonna be sucking wind at the end of it. Did you see all those bac2bacs and the bac2bac2bac off one day of rest following all those bac2bacs??? This is going to be very interesting. It's not over yet.

I thought this way to a few weeks ago but Celtics are on fire and Knicks just lost a 15 pt lead in the 4th. Don't think we have any shot at higher than 8. And I pray we get there.

However..
Like Frazier says Knicks gotta get down to GET UP
and seems to rise to challenges of injuries and tough NBA schedules foes,

Knicks can win some tough games and make and seed 3th to 7th a tough spot but they can do it with some help & luck

yea I hear ya

but teams like BULLs when NYK is on schedule
watch how quick Derrick Rose gets healthy

its like Chicago saying "we aint losing to them guys NY" NO Way

Knicks matchup well with Bulls
but with or without Rose %100 NY isnt still beating bulls even if it went 7game series

I'd love to be wrong on that one

gunsnewing wrote:if we were at full strength with Woody coaching we would beat the bulls easily. Wouldn't even be a contest. Now with no Amare and Lin it becomes becomes a bit of a tougher task

I don't know about no contest, but I think we match up well with them at full strength.

nixluva wrote:I know it's gonna be tough, but as you can see Philly isn't playing lights out BB right now. They're shaky. I know the C's have been winning a lot lately, but they have an absolutely BRUTAL schedule. They lost a tough one tonight and then they play again tomorrow. It just keeps coming like that thru most of April. Bac2Bac following Bac2Bac.

Knicks have it all in their hands IMO. I believe that Philly and Boston will lose some games and the opportunity to move up will be there.
