Here are the 9 games we have left:
Road Trip:
Houston
Memphis
Denver
Phoenix
Clippers
Lakers

Home:
San Antonio
Charlotte
Boston

It's going to be a tough trip! Lots of good post-season bound teams, albeit many with different levels of injury issues. I can see the Knicks going 5-4 to finish up the season, but would that be good enough to stay in the top 6 seeds? (I think so)

The Knicks can compete with any team on any given night - we're good enough to hang with anyone and have the game be decided by a bad call/no-call, and I'm okay with that. Interestingly, during our recent 10-1 stretch, while we did have 3OT wins, 5 of the other wins were by 10 or more points. We're not strictly playing nail biters anymore - we've been finding another gear in the 4th quarter.

One thing the Knicks have had in their favor is for the first time in a while, we had more than 2 days off in a row. We haven't played since last Wednesday. We had a some time to get healthy and get some practice in.

Today we face Houston - and tomorrow's game against Memphis is the only time we have a back to back during this road trip. So at the least the scheduling gods have shown some mercy.

We are guaranteed to at least be in the play-in. Salute to the New York Knicks.

9 players suited up? We should try to get them in foul trouble.

As far as the rest of the season, and given the preponderance of road games, I'd be happy if we could win half of them. We certainly can't afford to lose tonight.
