Knicks · Countdown to 50 wins. March 26: 43-28, 4th seed. We getting there and where we landing? (page 8)

Bucks are really good at home and average on the road. That's reason enough to push towards the two seed. If Milwaukee beats OKC tonight then it's out of reach but until that happens Knicks have to try to nab it.

they are! Also Im a bit high... can you please help me understand what outcome I want here? Bucks/Thunder is huge also... really it feels like best thing is for Bucks to win, PHili to lose and those two beat each other senseless for 7 games while we deal with the Pacers or whoever else at 3

Got a feeling its not gonna be that simple

I'm personally rooting for ORL and IND because I think that's the best way to keep the Sixers out of the top 6 and thus we control our destiny if we decide we want to try and play them or not.

Great

West top 3 teams are Minny OKC Nuggets all 56-25, I think the Knicks can get to 56 wins next year.

Well, first of all, through Jalen all things are possible, so jot that down. Second, we would've won 60 games this year if Randle had stayed healthy and we had OG for at least 50 games.

One persons take

https://www.twitter.com/mikeygrogins_/st...

The Knicks PERFECT scenario:

Knicks beat Bulls
Cavs beat Hornets
Magic beat Bucks
76ers beat Nets
Hawks beat Pacers

1. Celtics
2. Knicks
3. Cavs
4. Bucks
5. 76ers
6. Magic
7. Indiana
8. Miami

Celtics/Bucks/76ers would all be on the other side of the bracket.

Knicks would get Indy/Miami and than Cavs/Orlando.

Our odds of landing 2nd are high - they’ve been sitting Lillard annd Giannis hurt annd ORL is a desperate team now to avoid playin - and if all the probable favorites win next game it’ll be winner of PHI/MIA playin.

Tough to see ATL winning that game don’t think they have anything to play for.

We are probably better off in #3 then #2 but it’s too unpredictable and also if we lose we can end up 4th so there’s no control over the situation going into final game as I had hoped.

sucks, our best bet was sitting guys after the BOS win. MIL has been tanking for weeks it seems.
nycericanguy @ 4/13/2024 8:00 AM
Knicks Lose + Bucks Loss + Cavs Win = #4 Seed

doesnt sound bad to me.

Losing next game is best IMO as ORL, IND and PHI are all likely to win.

We lose we are either 3/4 and that most likely avoids PHI.

Don’t think we had enough control over situation to do that. I think we wanted to stay in 2/3 spot and just try to be able to control the matchup.

either way tomorrow, might as well rest up. we dont control the matchup now but we can control staying healthy.

playing our starters sunday only to W and end up playing PHI/MIA would be... not ideal. we have nothing to play for, rest up like other teams are doing.
