5-4 should be our aim. If we do any better, expect a deep playoff run.
This stretch will show what this team is made of
Talk about March Madness! That is a killer schedule, I would take 5-4 anyday with those 9 games.
So far in the Jeremy Lin era, we haven't suffered back to back losses. Tough stretch, but I'd like to see that much continue.
I'll predict 6-3.

We gotta win the 3 home games and then we can definitely steal 2 or 3 road games....Boston is beatable, Dallas might be tough but Dirk's hurt so ya never know, to me SA is beatbale, MIL is beatable, CHI will be tough and a split is most likely in the IND matchups...
i think we match up well against all these teams. the only teams that are really hard for us is heat,bulls,and teh thunder. im not saying we will beat all these teams but i think 5-4 is very low
Its the NBA. The Nets went in to Dallas and beat them IN Dallas!
BroPez hung 38 on them!
Any given nite most teams can suprise. Dallas took Nets for granted.

Isn't that our problem though? No one really takes us for granted. It's always been one thing stacked against the Knicks: teams get up for us (and specifically get up to play well at MSG). And now with Linsanity, everyone and their point guard's grandmother are going to attack Lin like a jaguar on a cheese steak.

I just don't see us beating Chicago and San Antonio on the road on ends of back2backs. that leaves 7 winnable games, and taking 5 out of 7 is fairly generous considering how wildly inconsistent this squad is. I expected us to take care of Cleveland right out the gates, seeing as they had played the night before, yet somehow we put ourselves in a 17 point deficit.

True but this team seems to do better against good teams. the heat game was close until the last quarter and we were very tired
I expect 10 wins, minimum
I have a good feeling about this team. I think we're gonna be peaking at the right time. This team is setup to put on a nice run thru the final 30 games. Other teams have to deal with our depth too. It's not like we'll be an easy opponent for any team. This team puts pressure on other teams as well. I especially like the defense we can apply to teams with our bench players. The hope is that these consecutive days of practice will really benefit the team for the stretch run.
That which does not kill them will only make them stronger.
The wins and losses do not matter. What matters is contesting every shot taken in our defensive halfcourt and six guys in double figures.
The rest will take care of itself.
The Answer Mans March Wish List Includes:
- some oxygen and a personal physician with extra band-aids for Jeremy Lin
- a recording contract for Landry Fields
- a standing ovation for Carmelo diving after a loose ball as he did last night
- a personalized DVD of Dave DeBusschere's greatest defensive hits for Amar'e
- a "C" for the front of Tyson Chandler's jersey
- a foxy, heavy-handed masseuse, who specializes in the ancient art of walking on the lower back, for Baron Davis
- a shoe contract for Iman Shumpert
- a daily text from Dr. Phil to JR Smith
- a monogrammed Everlast boxing robe, to match the belt, for Steve Novak
- undying fan respect for Jared Jeffries
Hang tough fellas.
Regardless of how well we played over the years, we always found a way to lose in Boston. Beating them up there will be a great way to set-off the road trip and may signal that
change we've all been hoping for has finally arrived. Dallas will be amped for a rematch and playing in San An at the end of a back to back wont be fun at all.
Like boston, Milwaukee is another team that has given us fits over the years. But now, we have a point guard who can go head up with Jennings and make him work on the other end. Problem with this game is Mil can stroke the 3-ball and teams like that give us trouble. But again, if the change is real, we should take care of them in a close game. If we take care of business at home, we should come out on the other side of that schedule at 6-3. If thats the case, we should be off and running, right on the heels of the Sixers and that 3-spot.

Hey, that which does not kill you, makes you stronger!
7-2 nothing less is acceptable Id like 8-1

this is overly optimistic, dont you think?
Were healthy, have 2 very good pgs, and are 11 deep..back to backs are a poor exscuse..we need to get on some elite sht...
The 2nd unit is ready and they will carry this team most night, either coming back from a deficit or padding the lead
Why can't we go 82-0 during those two weeks? You guys set the bar so low.
Our goal should be to finish with a 40 and 26 record.
Here's my prediction:
3/4: @BOS W
3/6: @DAL L
3/7: @SAS W
3/9: @MIL W
3/11: vs PHI W
3/12: @CHI L
3/14: vs POR W
3/16: vs IND W
3/17: @ IND L
