First couple of weeks of March is the real season for us. We either make it to the playoffs, or it's going to be a very painful second half of March, especially after the unbelievable February

Boston - March 4 - Rondo is not Deron Willams; limit him to 15 points. Fields, please guard Ray Allen. And Chandler and Melo should take care of KG and Pierce. Win, but could be a bit painful
Dallas - March 6 - Dallas gets payback. MDA has to give Lin some rest so that we have a chance against SA. Loss
San Antonio - March 7. Loss likely
Milwaukee - March 9. Win.
Philadelphia - March 11. Win.
Chicago - March 12. Miami Heat, but less intense. But Rose isn't Rose for nothing. Loss likely.
Portland - March 14. Win

So 4-3? If we win Cleveland before end of February, we're still at 500... and playoffs in sight. Heartbreaker will be Milwaukee and Philly, and if that happens, the boards and media will be ugly. IF we beat SA and Chicago, however, then bring those South Beachers on, because we'll have Knicks v2.0 ....

I think we have chance to beat Chicago and even the Heat, a lot depends on how well we comr out of this week long break with onlt the Cleveland game to worry about. Our bench can outplay their benches. Our starters can definitely hang with theirs espcially with Chicago. Miami right now is playing at an incredible level but that doesn't mean they can keep it up indefinitely.
