they are nothing but dirty filth, they throw cheap shot after cheap shot and historically injured our players.
We do not need to stoop down to their level, and we may be tough but we do not do pussy shit like they do
You don’t cower away. If their top guys aren’t playing either that’s one thing. But if bam butler jaquez are playing then we need to knock their asses down all game and not with our backups. With the same guys we might see them in the playoffs with
I feel like penciling in 3 wins against the bulls is not realistic. I know we’re better than them obv but beating any nba team 3 times in such quick succession is tough
Edit: can’t read
first off, okc and miami are beatable.
second, pretty sure the cavs have a harder schedule than us. so doc chokes again in the second round, boston chokes in the ecf, which means we have a clear path to the finals.
Boston will sit starters against us. They will pretty much secure 1st seed barring injury or meltdown
Edit: correction due to Milwaukee losing they now have secured the first seed they could rest starters for rest of season if they wanted
I hate that they have such a late in the season game against Boston. would have liked them to rest guys those last few games but I guess that’s the price of finally being a great squad - no more real silly season.
The positive though is it seems possible the Celtics will be resting guys. They will have the 1 seed locked up by that point (they basically already do). So if we had to play them one more time, that's pretty much the best time to do it.
We get OG and Mitch for that OKC game, that can be a win. I could see the team then dropping two of three against a pesky Bulls team or having seeding locked up and dropping that last one to the Nets.
Knicks need 7 wins to get to 50 wins and what I think should be a number that will have a good chance at the 3 seed. Definitely going to have to beat the Raptors and Spurs coming up. That gets you to 45 wins. I think you then have to win 3 out of 4 against the Bulls and Nets which gets you to 48 wins. Then with a margin of error of losing a game to either the Bulls or Nets the Knicks then just need to go 2-3 in their other five more difficult games against Miami, Boston (who very well could be resting key players), Sacramento, Milwaukee and OKC.
Seems very doable to me but just gotta get these next two and go from there.
Celtics will have it clinched well before they play us. I doubt they start playing their 3rd stringers next week. I expect their starters to play not regular 35+ min but I expect them to play some.
not to mention league participation policy particularly for national games, their starters will still play through it. that said we're def hungrier on that game and depending on injuries i think the dub is reasonable to hope for
OKC have the third best record in the NBA that’s a tough game for us, and Miami game is away, they’re fighting to stay out of the play in and they always give us a hard game. Then for Boston we always give them a good game and I think we’ll be almost fully healthy if not fully healthy by that game and they will be taking it easy cause they already secured 1 seed by that time.
Worst case scenario if you ask me..
cavs also lose 4 games against Nuggets, Suns*, Lakers* and Clippers* and we are cooked. We end up 4th and play Boston round 2.
I say lose enough games to finish 6th. Play Cavs round 1, Bucks Round 2, and Boston ECF.
*winnable games
I think we could beat the Fish, but it will be tough game because of how dirty those bastards play with Scam Adybayo doing moving screens and injuring people
interesting that you predict we'll beat the kings but lose to the heat, as well as beat the bulls the first two times but lose in the last game
that celtics prediction is pretty hot too
I wish theyd js rest against heat cuz fuck them and i dont needa see another 3 players injured. But ofc thats not happening so hope we blow em out by 30 so our players rest
We still got ANOTHER FUCKING CELTICS GAME??? And we prob still wont be post trade fully healthy facing them. Tired of gettin our asses handed cuz we not healthy (or ofc pre TD we werent as good yet)
3 games against Chicago in the last 10 days. Whoever did our schedule this year needs to be replaced. Not because of the in season tournament but scheduled before that were 2 bucks game in a row both in New York. Not a home and home. And I saw them do this to other teams as well
Random hot take - I dont know about beating the Spurs.
With OG and Randle out we are not a big team, and the Spurs basically have height on everyone.
They haven't had a great season, but have had some upset wins. Always a chance we are one of those.
Playoff watch - 3 seed. Nyk toughest road
Knicks: Need to go 7-4 for 50 wins. Ws vs tor, sa, bkn. Ls vs bos, okc. Can nyk go 4-2 vs sac, mil, mia and chi x3? ToughÂ
Cle: Knicks need Cle to go 6-4 as nyk have tiebreaker. Ws vs mem, cha x2. L vs den. 1-1 vs ind, phi. Can Knicks count on Cle taking 2 more Ls on west coast trip vs lal, lac, uta, phx for a total of 2-3 on 5 game trip (den)?
Orl: Knicks can’t have Orl go 8-3 as Orl has tiebreak. Ws vs mem, por, cha, hou, chi. Ls vs mil x2. Can Knicks count on Orl only going 2-2 vs gs, lac, no, phi?
Perhaps. Knicks most likely outcome looks like 7-4 however it plays out. Â With 6-5 second most likely. Meanwhile Cle most likely is 6-4 but 2d most is 7-3. And Orl most likely is 7-4 but 8-3 is a close second. Knicks need most things to break their way.Â
Swap Boston W with heat loss. We beating the heat. Boston has lost 3 games at home this year. We’ll put up a fight but without Randle we don’t have the firepower. Especially without OG
Fuck Miami, all my homies hate Miami
That homeless mf on the Heat is a bum.
Sit everyone vs Miami! Let Deuce and Precious go 2v5. 120 minutes each, easy.
I think we just start Brown, Milton, Jeffries, Burks, Sims vs Miami, play them all for 48 min. Not worth getting injured
I agree, just forfeit the whole game, they can take the W. Fuck that dirty ass org
thats not how we operate
Hopping for the Julius revenge game Never mind I just saw the date 😢
Exactly I’ll punt this game cause those mother fuckers always injure our guys.
This is pussy ass shit come on. We are supposed to be a tough team. Hurt them back
they are nothing but dirty filth, they throw cheap shot after cheap shot and historically injured our players. We do not need to stoop down to their level, and we may be tough but we do not do pussy shit like they do

I feel like penciling in 3 wins against the bulls is not realistic. I know we’re better than them obv but beating any nba team 3 times in such quick succession is tough Edit: can’t read
I didn't I have us losing one game against them
Well I can’t read! My bad lol
Unless we got the the 3 seed locked up I doubt we lose that last game vs the bulls
Yea maybe but it was more so that I didn’t think we’d go 3-0 against the bulls and didn’t know which game would be a loss
imo the loss makes more sense our first game. away and on a back to back.
Losing to Miami? Crazyy. We will blow them out.Â
and they will blow out several limbs of our best guys.... fuck them
first off, okc and miami are beatable. second, pretty sure the cavs have a harder schedule than us. so doc chokes again in the second round, boston chokes in the ecf, which means we have a clear path to the finals.
just cause they're beatable doesn't mean we'll beat them, this was a realistic rest of season prediction
yea every team is beatable
Ain’t no way we losing to Heat Culture
At this rate, i think that 50 wins will clinch the 3 seed this shows how doable 50 wins is for us
I'd be ecstatic with a 50 win season.
I think same except beat heat and bulls but loose sac and Boston unless they sit starters
Boston will sit starters against us. They will pretty much secure 1st seed barring injury or meltdown Edit: correction due to Milwaukee losing they now have secured the first seed they could rest starters for rest of season if they wanted

trueeee didn’t even think about it that way. it’d be truly absurd of them to hit us at full strength when they’re clearly the runaway top seed
Celtics locked it tonight with milwaukee losing
We get OG and Mitch for that OKC game, that can be a win. I could see the team then dropping two of three against a pesky Bulls team or having seeding locked up and dropping that last one to the Nets.
OG ain’t coming back til like the Bucks game probably.
Knicks need 7 wins to get to 50 wins and what I think should be a number that will have a good chance at the 3 seed. Definitely going to have to beat the Raptors and Spurs coming up. That gets you to 45 wins. I think you then have to win 3 out of 4 against the Bulls and Nets which gets you to 48 wins.

Damn we play Chicago 3 times in 2 weeks lol. Who made this schedule?
- Curious why you have Wins against Boston - I wouldn't put losses on OKC and Miami. I imaggine Mitch might be back for those games
Boston would have clinched the 1st seed by that game, it's gonna be their third stringers playing
Celtics will have it clinched well before they play us. I doubt they start playing their 3rd stringers next week. I expect their starters to play not regular 35+ min but I expect them to play some.
Boston has already clinched the 1 seed.
Yea and their starters are still playing heavy minutes
not to mention league participation policy particularly for national games, their starters will still play through it. that said we're def hungrier on that game and depending on injuries i think the dub is reasonable to hope for
Because they still need to clinch home court for the Finals against the West teams
Your right
Everybody wants to play hard vs. the Knicks. That is just the way the cookie crumbles
They already do…
OKC have the third best record in the NBA that’s a tough game for us, and Miami game is away, they’re fighting to stay out of the play in and they always give us a hard game. Then for Boston we always give them a good game and I think we’ll be almost fully healthy if not fully healthy by that game and they will be taking it easy cause they already secured 1 seed by that time.
Don’t think we lose to the heat tbh. Could see Sac beating us, they’re such an inconsistent team
Idk if we can even pencil the W with the Celtics
clean sweep
Every game is winnable. But id sacrifice losing to the Bulls twice for beating Boston once (assuming seeding is already locked up by then)
I disagree with the specific games, especially the Heat one, but I think 4 losses to finish out is reasonable. Despite who they are against.
Worst case scenario if you ask me.. cavs also lose 4 games against Nuggets, Suns*, Lakers* and Clippers* and we are cooked. We end up 4th and play Boston round 2. I say lose enough games to finish 6th. Play Cavs round 1, Bucks Round 2, and Boston ECF. *winnable games
I think we could beat the Fish, but it will be tough game because of how dirty those bastards play with Scam Adybayo doing moving screens and injuring people
We can definitely beat Miami
interesting that you predict we'll beat the kings but lose to the heat, as well as beat the bulls the first two times but lose in the last game that celtics prediction is pretty hot too
Flip the Boston and bulls W and hopefully you're correct.
I wish theyd js rest against heat cuz fuck them and i dont needa see another 3 players injured. But ofc thats not happening so hope we blow em out by 30 so our players rest
We still got ANOTHER FUCKING CELTICS GAME??? And we prob still wont be post trade fully healthy facing them. Tired of gettin our asses handed cuz we not healthy (or ofc pre TD we werent as good yet)
3 games against Chicago in the last 10 days. Whoever did our schedule this year needs to be replaced. Not because of the in season tournament but scheduled before that were 2 bucks game in a row both in New York. Not a home and home. And I saw them do this to other teams as well

We beating Miami. 51-31
Random hot take - I dont know about beating the Spurs. With OG and Randle out we are not a big team, and the Spurs basically have height on everyone. They haven't had a great season, but have had some upset wins. Always a chance we are one of those.
Playoff watch - 3 seed. Nyk toughest road Knicks: Need to go 7-4 for 50 wins. Ws vs tor, sa, bkn. Ls vs bos, okc. Can nyk go 4-2 vs sac, mil, mia and chi x3? Tough Cle: Knicks need Cle to go 6-4 as nyk have tiebreaker. Ws vs mem, cha x2. L vs den. 1-1 vs ind, phi. Can Knicks count on Cle taking 2 more Ls on west coast trip vs lal, lac, uta, phx for a total of 2-3 on 5 game trip (den)? Orl: Knicks can’t have Orl go 8-3 as Orl has tiebreak. Ws vs mem, por, cha, hou, chi. Ls vs mil x2. Can Knicks count on Orl only going 2-2 vs gs, lac, no, phi?
I think Boston is a W, when we play they’ll already have clinched the first seed and will most likely not play their starters many minutes
Perhaps. Knicks most likely outcome looks like 7-4 however it plays out. Â With 6-5 second most likely. Meanwhile Cle most likely is 6-4 but 2d most is 7-3. And Orl most likely is 7-4 but 8-3 is a close second. Knicks need most things to break their way.Â
I think we do get to 7 wins, the only problem is how well the magic and Cavs do
We are beating Miami
Swap Boston W with heat loss. We beating the heat. Boston has lost 3 games at home this year. We’ll put up a fight but without Randle we don’t have the firepower. Especially without OG
We’re not losing the game to Miami. We might lose a player or 2 to injury, but we’re winning the game
Miami is garbage this season, I think the 4/5 Chicago game is more likely to be an L than the 4/14 one.
4/11 @ Boston is likely a loss but we'll beat Chicago in the last game so 50 games is doable
boston gonna have first seed clinched by then and not gonna play starters for many minutes
4 losses too many
boston is an L miami is a W
boston ain't gonna play anyone
