true, but Chicago will win its division, so that's a non-factor

I think most of us have doubts about MDA speedball working in the playoffs and winning a 7 game series. That being said when the talent is there is works in the regular season. I used this example in another thread but MDA got 54 wins and a conference finals appearance out of a Suns team with no Amare. I dont see why these Knicks cant be that kind of team, I really dont. We are a lot younger than that team, but I also believe 1-5 we are deeper. Felton isnt Nash, but he's playing like Nash lite and is a superior defensive player. Amare is a beast and that leaves Gallo/Fields/Chandler = Marion/James Jones/Raja Bell. Its close...

I'm starting to believe Knicks will have home court in the first round.

...as long as it takes in order for us to advance to at least the #4 spot and hold steady until the end of the season. That way, although the Knicks are looking like a good road team so far, we would have homecourt in the 1st round of the playoffs.
