**** it, we should get the 3 seed

I think that shipped sailed with the two big losses. Knicks are only 3 games back in the loss column (may be just 2 in 30 minutes) and they hold the tie-breaker against the Cavs. We're 4 games behind the Cavs and they own the tie-breaker.

How do the Cavs hold the tiebreaker over us? The series is 2-2 and we have a better conference record.

Yeah, I missed a game. We're tied in our head-to-head matchup. Here are the tiebreakers according to ESPN:
-Better record in head-to-head games.
-Division winner (this criterion is applied regardless of whether the tied teams are in the same division)
-Higher winning percentage within division (if teams are in the same division)
-Higher winning percentage in conference games.

Okay. I'm not sure about the division. The Bucks will probably win the Central. We have a slightly better conference record.

Anytime I watch TJ McConnell he's like MJ

What happened to Mikal in BKN? I thought he was gonna be the star of that franchise?

From the limited stuff I saw, a lot of Brooklyn fans were talking about how he really doesn't have all too great of a handle and isn't all that great on creating his own shot. It seems very doom and gloom lately for them.

Doom and gloom? Who do they think they are? Magic fans? Lol

Seriously, that rumoured Jalen Green plus their own picks back for him should have pushed through if Bridges ia that sucky after all

I doubt that was a real offer… but if it was, the Nets were dumb to turn that down. How depressing is it that they don’t own their own picks AND they’re not good? Tough to keep/gain fans in Brooklyn that way… especially with how well the Knicks rebuild has gone.

IT is.... i have a wild wild theory that M.Bridges is pouting. He is sabotaging the Nets so that they will trade him away. lol

Knicks up 5 in Sacramento

It looka like a bad set of games for us... Nets and Hornets teased us with hope early but gave us the letdown near the end

Big flagrant on Hart. Kings back down 7.

Great game so far. Knicks defense is something else though, my lord they are suffocating. We need to absolutely unleash JI 30 mpg to have a chance.

Yeah don’t fancy playing the Knicks in the post season but at least push for home court and see what happens with the standings mid April

Without Randle, Brunson has been unleashed. No more blackhole taking shots and ball rotates quickly.

Wonder what happens when he is back... also their legs are probably shot. Its gonna feel like jelly near the POs. Guys are playing 40+ minutes

The Knicks have been taking advantage of the new rules where they're calling fewer fouls. Every time Franz would drive, they would just grab his arm and knock the ball loose.

The ball moves much better for the Knicks with Randle out.

[basketballRob]

The Knicks have also been using a 9-man rotation for a while. Sacramento is also playing a 9-man rotation.

I think we need to start doing it to prepare for the playoffs.

For a team like ours where we HAVE to go the hole to score because we dont have reliable 3pt shootibg, its gonna be a problem
