Back tied for 5th! One game back of 4th. Too bad the Knicks are still going hard for wins. 😡
Yeah and it is the second night of a back to back for Miami.

GEEZ! This team is gonna be the death of me. Even when the stars are all aligned and practically GIVING the Knicks an opening they just can take the opportunity and run with it.
Heat playing on the road in a back-to-back with a ridiculously banged up team and just coming off a thrilling buzzer beater win against biggest competition of 8th seed. The Knicks are rested and ready. No way the Heat win this. The maddening thing is if the Knicks were to lose tomorrow then I know they'd finally tank properly. But they wont. Phil probably hates Riley so much he wants to go all out these next two games to ruin them getting the 8th seed

Just gotta hope that it's an off night for Rose and Melo or they lose a close game. Sounds crazy but at this point it's how I feel. They're so close to being in a very nice spot for the Lottery. We could use every Ping Pong Ball we can get. Who cares about Melo his stats and Rose trying to look good for his next deal???

No worries, we will start off the first half with Melo and Rose shooting combined 9-36, we got this! This is the Knicks, remember?

I like your optimism but fear melo/rose go 9-36 on games that matter
When we would be better of losing they go 20-36. If I were hornacek I'd have a hard practice before the game. 2 hours of suicides.
Tank update:
4) Magic 27-47
Nets x 2
5) Knicks 28-46
Sixers
6) Sixers 28-46
Nets, Knicks
7) Kings 29-45

8) Twolves 29-44
Lakers x2, Kings, Blazers
9) Pelicans 31-43

Only the Twolves rest tonight. Hoping 76ers might beat the Hawks at home and one of the Mavs/Pelicans has to win as they play.

Crazy thing is the Knicks control their own fate in getting a better Lottery spot. Just lose and it's locked in but they aren't raising the white flag so it's going to be harder than it should be.

As you say its just completely crazy. Whilst I get the professional aspect to not deliberately throwing games its nonsensical given the huge upside for the entire franchise for years to come by ensuring as high a pick as possible. It just makes no sense to be dressing Melo or at least playing him in big minutes in these games given he can go on hot scoring streaks. We should be playing the young guys for most of the remaining minutes.
Knicks will win tonight because that's such a Knicks thing to do. They don't win back to back games for over 3 months and then do so at the worst time. The heat are wounded, tired, on the road, and playing a back to back. Just accept the Knicks win right now and things will be less frustrating for you at 10 pm tonight.
Orlando leading OKC 68-51 halfway thru the 3rd quarter!

We'll NEVER get separation with these other teams folding down the stretch of games. It's gonna be a Photo finish to see who gets 4 or 5.

See what I mean, if rose had played 9-36 was a definite possibility!! 
New Orleans won, which is kinda good
If we keep playing Melo in these futile games he's going to totally waive his NTC
