I believe we can beat Boston in 6 games. Chicago is a scary scary match up for us.
Well, if anyone can do it, Ned can!
Agree, I want no part of Chicago and their beat down style.
I think we would have to go big vs a couple times
Some would increase our chances, while it would change our entire philosophy depending on match ups and our lineups
on both OFFENSE AND DEFENSE
OFF especially for spacing/shot selection etc on a
DEF for rotations, who could cheat/who could help/and when to help
There simply is not 1 way method and it takes times for the players/coach to learn how to play each other effectively and efficiently
It seems like Woodson doesn't utilize HOW to do so, especially with different IQ PLAYERS on the floor, that is why Kenyon's Martin's high IQ/fundamentals/mobility/DEFENSE/rotation's works much better
On the East,
Bulls
Pacers
On the West,
Spurs
Memphis
Clippers
Ned For Head Coach

I feel the need for Sheed. If you crazy, we crazy too.
why is my name involved in this???!?!
I still think Chicago's Rose-less season is running out of gas, and I think the Knicks could beat them in a series, but would seriously rather avoid it. If we play Boston, Bucks, Atlanta, that's a much much easier 1st round
I want Miami-Chicago ! Soften them up for us a bit. Tenderize
im worried about tyson...he doesnt look the same

I'd love Miami to play Chicago or Boston first round. Beat the Heat up a little bit for the Knicks in the later rounds. If Chicago somehow matches up with Brooklyn, and the Celtics play Miami 1st round, that would be most ideal situation

Especially with KMart getting hurt. Hopefully Martin's injury isn't serious.

Is Martin ok? I know he sat out a little but hopefully its nothing serious

He hasn't looked the same all season....that's why I said sheed was a key player for us....now its martin.
Also martin is a woodson type big....he can actually guard all 5 positions. Chandler is too tall and stiff to guard on the perimeter. I don't know why he continues to switch on defense so easy....let the guards do the switching....
id LOVE to play atlanta in the playoffs - theyre not a smart team
i wouldnt mind playing boston - i just think theyre old now
milwaukee - same with how i feel about atlanta
BKN/Pacers - street fight but i THINK wed prevail
i DONT wanna play the heat or bulls!

We can beat them for sure but we will take a pounding in the process. Boston is a bit older so the pounding will be less. I want us fresh for the later rounds.
It's gonna be tough but it can be done
We can crush Chicago but it's Miami that gives me the ulcers, it's not good if we have to face them, so let's hope chicago will knock miami out
oMG we have no luck how many bigs can go down? Now I must rethink this!! we would rather have Martin and Chandler for the playoffs--can we still find a d league guy and would he count for us in the playoffs?
briggs...there you are...why use my name? im not mad..just curious

Looks like a typo. It should read "Need", not "Ned".
Wow. The idea of facing Chicago in the first round is pretty scary. Those guys need to get their act together - I don't think the Bulls want to face Indiana or NY in the 1st round. A matchup vs the Hawks or Nets would be much preferred, I would think.
Currently 2.5 games separate seeds 4-6 (Nets/Hawks/Bulls), so there's potentially a bit of flip-flopping around those seeds, particularly Atlanta and Chicago.
Without Rose, the Bulls still sport one of the premier frontlines(Noah/Boozer/Deng).

Excatly why I am rooting hard for the Bulls to pop up to that 4 spot down the stretch or even go on a losing streak to drop into the 8th spot. Miami would probably still win, but would be hurting after the fact for sure, which would be pretty enjoyable all around.
Agreed, Hawks or Nets in the 1st round would be great, but Boston doesn't scare me against this Knicks squad. Can't wait...
