IQ, Brunson got some good float, mid range games

I'm not saying that, but I agree we might be, like in 99, on the road so we can snatch a game that we're not expected to win.
I am saying that if we can start playing better at home, we'll be a clear top 4 team.

So are you saying that there is a big yellow line surrounding us and we will never rid ourselves of those pesky Nets? Or are you saying Knicks fans need to do a better job making MSG harder to play at? 
In all seriousness, you bring up a good point. It we can just be above average at home, there would be no question that we are a top 4 team. I do not see why we can't be better than Philly. Especially if MR can shut down Embid!
If we good at home and struggle on the road we'd be like "if we can button down some road wins, we'd be a X seed"......
Its totally logical we should be better at home, but road wins show a unity of strength and the team well focused behind its coaches and staff.
For young guys bought it one can guess they are being professonal about it. Not to say then are not on the road. Im sure they are addressing it and they have been better at home.
I don't know if this winning continues and fans can continue to be this brazen but its been a great season of ups and downs.
Some want others to eat crow, others are self serving. In the end we all here for the same thing.

Fans don't realize our Road Record = losing below .500 record against winning teams.
And come Playoffs? They'll be against winning teams.
No.
Home Court Advantage is never a bad thing fine Playoffs (especially when you're able to win on the road too).

The Bong is binging.
Once again Boston is 9-2 without Jaylen Brown (this year) but yet only 11-17 All-Time without Jayson Tatum (.392%).
So save us the excuses if we're to win tonight because we beat Boston with both Tatum/Brown despite not yet having Josh Hart while Mitchell Robinson was hurt.
Previous 42 games:
Boston = 29-13 (.690%).
New York= 26-16 (.619%).
Our previous 42 games has been way more impressive than theirs because New York's Strength of Schedule (SOS) has been much more difficult than Boston's.
6 in a row is the goal.

You can watch the game as Bill Walton gives commentary from his living room on the NBA app. "Throw it Down" with Bill. I'm like 4 beers away from giving it a try, but I'm hoping I doze off first.
