Knicks have 12 games left. Will they make the playoffs?

[BennyBigNuts]

If they can hold off Cleveland today they will be only 2 games back from the 8th spot and have a 9 game winning streak.

Can they get there?
Does the signing of Phil step their game up and put them in now?
Lot of guys playing for their jobs.
All you gotta do is make it in. Anything can happen.
Heat and PAcers are definitely beatable.
Their remaining schedule is iffy. One west coast swing, tough one vs. Miami, but definitely can keep this streak going for a couple more games.

I say they get in.

[allabout the $$$]

we can do it!

[will2survive]

When they're core is in sync, they can compete against any team. This has nothing to do with Phil Jackson. Will be 9 straight wins and yes, they'll get in.

[ParlayininHTown]

It's definitely possible. They're on quite a roll, but their schedule is rough down the stretch. Eight of their final 10 opponents will make the playoffs, and one of the two non-playoff teams (at least, currently) is Phoenix.

The Hawks have some tough ones left in there, too, and they might be getting a little tight. It'll be pretty close.

[BennyBigNuts]

They are blowing this game as we speak.

[BennyBigNuts]

Unreal they lose to this team with a 15 point lead.
It's probably the 15th time this year they have had a lead of 10 or more and lost the game.
back to 3 games out. Gonna be tough.

Only 3 some games bak but them niggas don't care.

[TwoWays]

Knicks loss today was a gigantic loss.

Yes, atlanta will accumulate quite a few losses coming up, but the return of paul milsap really steadied the downslide for hawks.

Knicks closing month of games is unreal tough. That 3 game margin is too big now after today's loss

[Playmaker]

Adios Knicks..No Playoffs this season..

[TheMoneyShot]

I'd actually like to see the Knicks make it. But I think they will fall short with 2 or 3 games remaining. They'll be tired.

Hope not, they don't deserve it.

When the opening line of the thread is " if we can hold off Cleveland ...." It's not a good sign . That Cleveland on the road shot over 60% from field and 50% from three (9-18) without kyrie Irving on the court is brutal. I would prefer the lottery pick if I was a Knicks fan. Having life and death battles with a depleted Cleveland on your home court is basketball purgatory

[konck]

They will sneak in I think but does it matter they cant beat any one they are a gimme

what good is the lottery pick it goes to denver this year. knicks gave it up in the melo trade

[jjgold]

Knicks have zero future, a ball hog as their star and a few aging vets as their other top players.

Can't call Melo a ball hog JJ if he's actually in top 2 in the league in scoring. His team can't hit no shots not his fault he can't get any assists.

[IllyPhilly[DOC]]

Wow the Hawks have a tough road ahead to keep their 8th seed. That will be hard for them being such a small team. NYK will def sneak the 8th seed with a Hawk's schedule that tough. Hawks just blew a 14 point lead in TOR to lose by 10 points ridiculous!

Knicks are 3 back. Atlanta has to go 6-8 or worse for the Knicks to have any shot

This is a reoccurring issue for the Knicks.
They have the worst guarding defenders in the NBA.
Felton is worthless, prigioni is 40 and white, Hardaway just wants the ball and could care less.
Shumpert is the only guy who can actually defend but he's just not enough of a contributor on offense to demand minutes.
Always some 2nd tier scrub guard going off on the Knicks.
Not to mention every PG in the league eats Feltons fat ass up.
Phil needs to and surely will address their backcourt defensive needs during the offseason.
He should empty the rack and get Rondo IMO.

[BennyBigNuts]

BIG WIN for the Knicks tonight over Golden State on the road.
1 game back now.
JR Smith on fire last cpl weeks.

[Zeus54]

Really sad and pathetic that a team that's 12 games under .500 and be within a game back of a playoff spot. Cleveland 15 games under and only 2.5 back.

Can't believe people still watch the NBA. Total dog shit.

Wanna know what's even worse about it?
The Mavericks are currently 44-30 and in 9th place in their conference.
West is cokk-diesel strong still.

I laugh everytime I see that avatar.
I can't help but always wonder if those 2 ever fukked no matter what women they claim to be with.
I'm 99% sure Nadal likes the cokkkkk, but he's still one of the most amazing athletes on the planet.

[allabout the $$$]

knicks still have some tough games to get there. im hoping they make it as a knick fan but its gonna be rough
