@CLE
@CHA
ATL
@CHI
WAS


...we're playing three playoff teams and two teams with nothing to lose. This is a good sign. I'll hope for 0-5, but I think 1-4 is pretty realistic. We might beat Atlanta at MSG, but who knows if Ariza can't play?

@CLE is obviously a game CLE needs, we're horrible on the road and it's a team that likes to blow us out. Loss.

@CHA, I'm thinking loss here too. They have young, hungry guys who are trying to prove they belong, they have nothing to lose and really nothing to gain in draft position - and we're horrible on the road.

ATL at the Garden could be close. But again, ATL has young athletic players who will want to prove something at the Garden. Ariza could match up against Josh Smith, but Herb doesn't like Ariza.

@CHI. HA! No comment. Loss.

WAS will need the last game of the season for playoff seeding, the Garden will be empty, the FEW fans who actually show up will be booing and wondering whether they can torture themselves for season tix one last time next year. Loss. Nice job, Dolan. And you did a swell job preventing that West Side stadium too, you jerk.

1-4 at worst, 0-5 at best.
