Seriously though, WTF is Skiles' affection towards Gooden about. The guy is just trash and he played the entire first quarter against Indiana! Really pisses me off.

Without Gooden our offense sucks. Pick and roll/pop with him is our first and main offensive option. Sad but true.

And with Gooden, we're rolling out the worst defensive team in the NBA.

We need this win to control the tie-breaker if it comes down to that at the end of the season. We also need the confidence boost after getting blown out by Boston and Indy last week. It's a must-win game as far as I'm concerned.

GO BUCKS!!

It will be very interesting to see what happens if we spend pretty much all our resources and energy to obtain the 8th seed, only to play in front of at best 50/50 split fans in our own building. It's kind of like training really, really hard just so you can kick your own ass.

Absoloutely huge game. We must win. If Bucks lose tonight, they don't deserve the playoffs.

To deserve the playoffs, I think they need to finish about 14-4. No team that is around .500 or even a game or two above it deserves the playoffs.

Frank Isola ‏ @FisolaNYDN
Amar'e, who injured his back last April & couldn't play for 3 months, is having an MRI today for similar injury, Daily News has learned.

+1

In my opinion, the NBA playoffs include too many teams. I know it's popular with the casual fan, but it just points out how diluted the product has become. It's a farce.

It would be better if they awarded slots to the division winners and then filled the remainder based strictly on record. This year, it would skew heavily to the West, but at least there's greater likelihood of the better teams reaching the playoffs, and the dregs sitting out.

I'd love for the NBA to move to 8 total playoff teams, but it will never happen (revenue). Even 6 per conference, with the first round being moved to 5 games, top two seeds getting byes would be a lot better than the current setup. The fact that the 20th best team in the league makes the postseason in the East is really a joke.

Agree 100%.

Theyll never consider it unfortunately. Maybe just the top sixteen teams overall make it. the division winners and wildcards. I know they talked about this during CBA negotiations but the issue never went past the idea process.

Same feelings. If they keep it at 8 per conf, they need to make the series 5 games in the first 2 rounds, imo.

Knicks are favored by 5.5.

Gotta keep the streak of continuous posts of only saying bad things about this team going, go Knicks.
