1. Getting closer to Boston?

2. Or moving farther away from Milauwakee?

Both play tomorrow also. Boston i think will lose on the back to back as both Philly and Charlotte are coming off a day of rest.


Boston at Philadelphia
Milwaukee at Charlotte


The thought of Boston losing 2 in a row is enticing but i dont know who I want to win tonight.

Moving past Boston is better for us right now than creating space between us and the Bucks. I'm in part relying on our two remaining games with milwaukee to help maaintain the space.

Boston have a brutal schedule and will definitely lose games.

Bucks are on fire and have the easiest schedule between the 3 of us. Definitely want the Celtics to win although I'd be content with a Milwaukee win as well.

i pains me but I think the best overall result would be for the celtics to win.

They play phili tomorrow on a back to back in phili so phili will probably win that. (Losing back to back home games seems very un likely)

The bucks schedule is on of the easiest of the remaining teams. It would be nice to have some breathing room from the bucks...just in case we slip up over the any of the next few games.

It's actually more important to pass Boston and catch Philly than create any breathing room with Milwaukee. If we pass Boston then we're in regardless of what Milwaukee does and it means we're in striking distance of Philly. If we catch Philly then it doesn't matter what happens with Milwaukee because we go in as the fourth seed as division leader.

If Boston were up like 5 games on us then I could see us saying Boston beat the Bucks, but we want to be the best in our division right now.

Milwaukee has momentum. You want to break that momentum...much bigger implications than just one game. So ill go with Boston.

But regardless, the Knicks need to keep their own momentum and keep doing what theyve been doing. Take care of their own business and theyll be in...really take care of their own business and they very well can be where people (even some on ESPN) are saying, that the Knickswill be in the top 4 in thr East at the end.

Going for Milwaukee--I don't care about them. Separating ourselves from them doesn't matter because that's a battle for the 7th and 8th spots--I want the division asap.

The problem I have is that we gotta stop the bucks momentum. I understand this 5 game winning steak has everyone excited and looking forward!

Now that is a good think but say the bucks win this game and continue there hot play and we win the next two but lose to the bucks after winning 7 in a row and then we have another stretch of

orlando
@atlanta
cleveland
@indiana
@orlando
chicago
@chicago
@milwaukee
washington
miami
boston

then we finish the season with a farely easy 5 games stretch.

My point being I don't want to go into the last 5 games with a chance at the 6 teams bunches together because boston and phili aren't going into some tail spin. They will still win some games.

My point being lets first secure a playoff sport and then then worry about seeding...the first job is to get into the dance!

You have to want Boston to win. Better to have them go in as the 7 or 8 seed than the Bucks. I would rather Boston face Miami or Chicago in the first round than Milwaukee.

Yep, we need Boston to win it. Milwaukee are on a roll and they have a very easy schedule compared to us. We'll need to cushion that 8th seed to take some pressure off of the guys and keep me at ease. Let's not get carried away and look at the 4th seed, we've got a ridiculous schedule coming up and I can't imagine us going on an undefeated run into play-offs (but then again this seems to have been a season of records for us.)

I'd ignore the talking heads of ESPN their jobs are to hype everything up. Hype, hype, hype.

Catching the Celts is tougher than creating space from the Bucks because the celts are better than the bucks...so Milwaukee

Guys Boston schedule is absolutely murderous down the stretch...if we play good basketball there will be no way we don't catch boston. This is purely to stop the bucks momentum.

Celtics still have 3 games vs Miami!

looks at this stretch coming up for boston there will be plenty of losses in there!

Fri, Mar 30 @Minnesota 8:00 PM Tickets
Sun, Apr 1 vsMiami 3:30 PM Tickets
Wed, Apr 4 vsSan Antonio 7:30 PM
Thu, Apr 5 @Chicago 9:30 PM TNT
Sat, Apr 7 @Indiana 7:00 PM
Sun, Apr 8 vsPhiladelphia 6:00 PM \
Tue, Apr 10 @Miami 7:00 PM
Wed, Apr 11 vsAtlanta 8:00 PM

have to root for boston. We need as much breathing room as possible. Boston is going to be dropping games and there is a good chance we will pass them. The division title would be nice but it is very unlikely.
