You felt that way before we beat Miami right ?

It doesnt matter what I believe or don't believe--this is just fact. IMO we have no chance to beat Indiana--if they try hard--theyd beat us 4-0. On the other hand we have too many problems--our big men are just older and fragile--were not bad enough to really stink but were not good enough to have a chance. That puts us in the worst NBA spot--no mans land. This next 10 games is important to MSG--they can win several home games and get into a 7-8th playoff position --atleast for the time being

But yes, it is obviously a key stretch for us. Should be interesting, especially given how we have looked in our last two.

The Knicks will still make the playoffs just because the East is so bad. I think the real question is if they can win the division or not?

We should be back to seeing a shorter rotation if Amare, KMart and THJr are out, which as we've seen, has benefited Woody and the team.

Clips
Nets
Sixers
Cats
Lakers
Celts
Cavs
Heat
Bucks (Away)
Blazers

I realize Felton was instrumental in the Miami win, but Woody better recognize before the 4th Qtr of games that either Shump or Murry need to be playing more on the many opposing G's during these stretches. Shump sat on the bench way too long last night while Indy ran away w/ the game and I'm concerned Murry will get buried even further down the bench w/ Prigs coming back and I think that'll be a huge mistake.

The only guys that bring it consistently are Amar'e and Melo. Felton is garbage. Chandler is the most overrated player in the league. I'd trade him in a heartbeat.

Felton helps at the offensive end, but there's a BIG dropoff when it comes to his defense. Opposing guards seem to have their way with him. When Woodson sees this, he MUST do more than stare at him. Get one of our defensive players to stem the flood, either switching men or taking him out completely. The same thing for Beno. We have the worst defensive back court in the league. Steps must be taken to correct this. When does Bobby Brown finish up in China?
