Is that 50 or 51 wins? The Answer Man Lost Count

The Bulls play a physically bruising brand of basketball. We just won the division. Why risk it?

Sit Carmelo (knee tendinitis), Chandler (bulging disk), Earl Smith (knee tendinitis).

Start Prigioni, Felton, White, Copeland and newly activated Herb Williams.

Nope. Knicks need to ride this momentum into the playoffs.

Im hoping for a Dallas Maverick like playoff run.

Until the 2nd seed is clinched, gotta keep the pedal on the metal.

IMO all the resting is going to come back and hurt the Heat in the end. At this point its going to be what, like 3-4 weeks of them not playing their regular rotation? Bball is a game of rhythm and flow, and the are taking themselves out of both by their own actions.
A glimmer of hope maybe?!?

I'd really like to beat the bulls. You do not want to be swept by a team that you will likely face in the playoffs. I wonder how many times a team that got wept 0-4 in the regular season has beaten the other team in the playoffs, (and in less than 7 games too, as the Knicks want to minimize the games they play against the bulls in the postseason so taht they don't get worn down for the next series. Don't allow the bulls to get that confidence. Go hard against the bulls. We've beaten the Pacers, I'd like to win that, but is is not essential. This game is important.

Unless they beat the heat it is very unlikely the Knicks would play the Bulls but I get what you are saying. I would like them to beat the bulls to continue their good play but also to shut Wilbon up.

Considering we still have two sets of back-to-backs, I have to agree that getting our guys some rest before the playoffs would be a good thing. Assuming we wrap up the second seed by Sunday (no matter what happens before Sunday, if we beat the Pacers we get the No. 2 seed; the magic number is 3 and we would own the tiebreaker), I would sit Melo vs. Charlotte on Monday and limit his minutes in the finale vs. Atlanta. Sit Chandler maybe all but one game. Obviously sit Martin (and pray). Sit Kidd at least one game. Limit J.R.'s minutes.

I agree. I think Woodson should play them less minutes. Like 20 mins a game instead of 35. That will keep them playoff ready and get them some rest.

The Indiana game is bigger than the bulls game since we will likely get indy rd 2

Secure the 2nd seed then rest the top guns. Play them just enough to be ready
