On a BtB where the preceding road game went to over-time: you are correct!

Just win, lock up the 6th seed and rest everyone for the remaining games.

We might as well try and lose out and try to get Miami and hope we have some pride and energy in the tank to take them the distance in the playoffs. Probably have a better chance of winning in the 1st round than the 2nd with our limited depth and emotion.

Great thread! This game is going to be very difficult with this being a back to back and dealing with that Denver altitude. There is always a chance for victory though so I just want these guys to bring the same effort and energy as the last game, but just play a bit smarter. Really hope we have Earl for this game cause we will need him. If he had played last night, I really feel we would have had a much better chance for victory.

Gonna be rooting hard for these guys to attempt to get a good win...LET'S GET IT!!!

I'd like Earl back but would rather him healthy for the playoffs. We can hope the Knicks lose a game or we can beat the Bobcats and keep 6th if that's what we want.

Play hard: no injuries.

The game plan is not about winning.

Heart and hustle here we go!
Let's play with good energy and most important, NOT let Duhon lift his ass off the bench.

The real Heart & Hustle team actually won half of their games... They had less talent and a better winning percentage than this "heart & hustle" moral victory team.

Knicks won, ww need a win to secure the 6th spot

Hey, I was happy with Orlando's effort against Utah. Let's see if they can give the same type of effort tonight. Remember Denver also played last night as well. GO MAGIC! Just win one.

And hey, if you don't win this, you still have the Bobcats as an insurance policy. :lol:

Agree. People calling this team heart and hustle is shaming that team. Shooting 38 3s is not heart and hustle. They just trying a bit harder than before, I guess to prove Dwight wrong, but I don't see any real indication that it will last long.

You must feel good about yourself trashing this team. They have to do this on the fly. They go all season playing through Dwight and Hedo being the playmaker and now they have to do it all without them. Stan is playing guys he never played before and they obviously won't be mistake free. Yea but these couple of games really define them vs. a whole season of heart and hustle team that played together and developed chemistry over a full season, and didn't have to learn how to play without key players at the end of the season. Smh.
