New York only need to move up one place to be 8th position and if they maintain the position and there are no incredible winning streaks from teams below them then they have a good shot.

They need either Miami or NJ to lose a few games, New York has won 2 straight games they do have a tougher schedule coming up but to say the playoffs are not realistic is being unrealistic.
The Knicks definitely have a chance to make the playoffs. They can catch New Jersey, but I don't think they can catch Miami.
As of today, we are 0.5 games away from the 8th spot and tomorrow the Nets are on a road trip where they face the Texas Triangle.

<div class="quote_poster">MrJ Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">^I don't get it.</div> Oh, my bad. Thought you said Knicks Well, same applies for Nets - they will lose all 3 in TX thus giving Knicks a chance...
Well the Knicks lost by one point to the sonics after Lewis nailed a three in the last few seconds then Marbury failed to tie the game on free throws. However New Jersey lost their most recent game to Dallas as well as Indiana so everything is the same really
The Sonics game was very winnable, we just collapsed at the end. No time to dwell on that because we have many important games coming up which can ultimately decide our fate.
