Now the Knicks need to take care of business against the Raps.
The Sixers and Celts play each other. This is weird, cuz we have
Bos2 games ahead of us too. Still we need Bos to step up and win.

Bucks are playing extremely fast and loose. They have a ton of perimeter shooting. Good passing and BB IQ. You have to play tough D and slow them down. It won't be easy, but if the Knicks play up into their man like they're doing now, they can beat them.

I don't know how this slipped past my attention, but tomorrow the Celts play the Bucks!!! That's a possible win/win for us. If the Celts wins, that pushes the Bucks off our backs a bit, but if the Bucks win, it just pushes the Celts down a game closer to us. Then the next day the Celts and Sixers play. It's freaking awesome!!!

I think I'll be rooting for the Bucks tomorrow and the C's on Friday. Can't let the C's get hot if we want to steal the division.

Yea good point. We can take care of the Bucks later ourselves. Let them smack the C's for us and take them down a peg.

Personally, the April schedule has me worried. Talk about brutal

The Celts April sched is pretty tough aswell....As long as we continue to play the way we've played over this 5 game stretch, we will have a chance to beat anyone.

I think Celtics will slip down to #8 seed simply because their injuries are very discouraging. I hope they hang on tho. They got a somewhat tough schedule ahead of them.

Can someone clarify the seedings for me?

So whoever wins the Atlantic gets a top 4 seed? Based on this assumption, the 3rd and 5th seed could have a better record, but the Knicks would be cemented as the 4 as long as they beat out Boston and Philly.

Is this correct and when was this rule implemented? It's been a while, I guess.

Thanks, I figured it out.

I'm rooting more for the Bucks to win. My hopes have been crushed too many times for me to believe that we can have an incredible run in the last 20 or so games of the season. I'm conditioning myself for "OK" rather than "great." But the Bucks face an easier schedule than the Celts, which means its also unrealistic for me to expect that they will collapse. I'd therefore rather have the backup option of the Celts falling out of it all the way down. And it's my hope that it's our game with them on April 17th that finally buries them.

I Could careles what seed we are, just get in clinch a spot..

Well C's top the Bucks. Like nix said, at least now we get a little bit of a cushion on Milwaukee, up to a 1.5 game lead. Boston pulls a half game within Philly and could leapfrog them tomorrow night. Either way, we have the chance to pick up a game on someone.

sadly it's also plausible we don't make the playoffs at all.

How come Philly are currently 4th and Orlando 3rd in the standings (and seeded 4th) given that Philly are, and Orlando are not leading their division?
