We needed this break. Hopefully we come back refreshed. These next few games are no joke.

Kings been cooking anyone in front of them since firing their Thibs, and the refs will give every Kings player a star whistle.

Knicks can still win if they aren't out-coached, and guys can execute.

The upcoming stretch is brutal. If we can get 4 wins out of the next 7 games I would be pretty happy. 3 wins would not be a total catastrophe IMO. We do play the Kings, Memphis, Nuggets, Lakers, Rockets and Celtics all at home so there is some potential for wins.

We need everyone though on top of their games.

If these games are close---which probably many are going to be---the starters are going to be averaging 40+ minutes easily.

You want to see what burnout looks like?

See how our starters are coping as we go into the AS break 3 weeks from now.

Thibs is going to lean on his tight rotation hard to stay competitive and it will take its toll. It already has, but this is when it gets truly tough.

Now, the Knicks are still on my **** list because of their lack of quality W's, but I will say the Kings don't have many quality W's in this current run (Boston and Houston are the only teams that I would consider quality W's).

Either way, important game because of Boston's struggles right now. If the Knicks didn't lay a couple of eggs, they might have been tied with Boston.

Take a close look at the last 8 games of the season! It's mind blowing. 8 games in 12 days. Three B2Bs. Two end with CLE. Of those 8 games, 6 are playoff teams.

4/1 PHI
4/2@CLE
4/5@ATL
4/6 PHO
4/8 BOS
4/10@DET
4/11 CLE
4/13@BKN

That's an insane stretch right before the playoffs.
