Whatever.
Win the division, make the playoffs, avoid the Heat in the first round. That's the goals for this regular season. 50 wins would be a cherry on top. The Knicks can still do all of these things, and likely will. If Melo and Chandler come back from this injury time back in good shape, we can get the 50 wins too. Once they get in the playoffs, let's see what the team can do; if we avoid the Heat, we can get out of the first round. The Celtics, Pacers and Bulls have given us trouble in the regular season, but they aren't exactly killing it themselves (like all of the non-Heat teams in the Eastern Conference). We've beaten the Nets, Bucks and Hawks this season too, so those matchups are okay too. Naturally the goal of getting in the playoffs is to win a title, but the games have to be played before talking rings.
This season featured a lot of injuries, but they played well enough for most of it. I hope they can close it out stronger, since the schedule will soften a little bit from what it was this entire month (West Coast swing, championship contenders, back-to-backs, all on the road, etc) while the Nets at least go on a tough West Coast road stretch for 8 games.
