@BenRitholtzNBA Hart a C+? He hit a HUGE 3 to tie the game in the 4th. He defended PG well in the second half and he played 40+ minutes!

@BenRitholtzNBA Hukporti B+??? He came in early when the Sixers were going Hack a Mitch and gave good minutes. Held his own against Embiid.

LaMelo Ball is the biggest annoyance and jerk in the NBA since Dennis Rodman.
English
@KnicksMemes Boston is resting everyone also. You would think the Magic starters could beat the Celtics bench.
English
Knicks will likely play the Hawks in the 1st round
Hawks are resting their guys, will likely lose to Heat
Nets will tank vs Toronto
So it comes down to Boston vs Orlando. I assume Boston will win, meaning the Knicks play Atlanta
Knicks would be better off facing the Raptors.

@sal_licata Won more games than last year, won more games against teams over .500 than last year, defensive and offensive rating higher than last year and its disappointing?

English
All that matters is what happens after today but it was a disappointing regular season for the Knicks & Mike Brown
English
@BrandonTierney I think he didn't explain himself correctly. His logic was correct but how he expressed self wasn't. He was trying to tag the runner first and then throw to first but when he didn't cleanly field the ball he pretty much lost that opportunity.
English
Jazz needs to be glued to the bench today. He won’t. But absolutely should be!
English
@ShaunMorash I think he didn't explain himself correctly. His logic was correct but how he expressed self wasn't. He was trying to tag the runner first and then throw to first but when he didn't cleanly field the ball he pretty much lost that opportunity.
English
I’m a Jazz Chisholm guy.
But he has been awful this year and that defensive play is the cherry on top. I can’t defend him anymore
English
@kcjones1498 @TommyBeer Hawks are guaranteed not to be in the play in.
English
@softballbrowny @TommyBeer And Hawks in the play in? Is that accurate?
English
Possible first-round opponents for the Knicks based on Sunday’s results (via this morning’s post):
Tommy Beer@TommyBeer
The Hawks are listing nearly all their rotation regulars as questionable for tomorrow’s game vs. Miami: Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Dyson Daniels, Jalen Johnson, Jonathan Kuminga, CJ McCollum and Onyeka Okongwu are all questionable
English
@kcjones1498 @TommyBeer Philly is the six, Toronto seven and Orlando is the eight.
English
@TommyBeer What happens to Philly if they win, Hawks win and Toronto and Orlando lose
English
@DukeStJournal @TommyBeer Miami is playing for something. If they lose they dont get the home game for the 9/10 game
English
@TommyBeer makes sense with miami having nothing to play for but would hate to see them drop to the 6 spot. big question is who has the tiebreaker between them and orlando? and where do sixers stand in terms of tiebreakers vs toronto and charlotte?

English
@SbondyNBA So the Nets are going to start the first 7 fans to enter the building tomorrow?
English
I don’t think the Nets are beating the Raptors tomorrow. Get your passports ready
English
@ElDeLosKnicks @SbondyNBA Sixers would be the No. 6 seed as they hold the tiebreaker over both the Magic and the Raptors.
English
@softballbrowny @SbondyNBA In case of a triple tie between TOR, ORL and PHI the tiebreaker goes to TOR.
Sixers can’t be sixth in any scenario
English
I don’t know how the seeds will unfold but the Knicks should want to play the Raptors in the first round.
5 game series at most.
Atlanta is tough.
Orlando is tougher.
English
@ATownRundown @ClutchPoints I mean they traded for Trae and AD and neither one attempted to get back on the court. Basically Washington tanked the season since the trade deadline. 🤷🏾♂️
English
@ClutchPoints Putting Trae’s picture here is so disingenuous. Dude barely played. He didn’t have shit to with that.
English
The Wizards officially clinch the worst record in the NBA 🥶
They lose their 9th straight and move to 17-64.
English
@JCMacriNBA Hey Jon what if Toronto loses the magic lose and Philadelphia wins what does that three team tie look like?
English
Long story short re: playoff seeding with the Knicks headed to a win tonight:
Assuming Raps beat Nets and Orlando beats what will almost surely be Boston’s C squad, the Atlanta’s result vs Miami on Sunday will not matter. Knicks will play the Raptors in round one regardless.
English
@JCMacriNBA No it does matter. If Toronto wins and Atlanta loses they end with same record. Toronto won the season series. Raptors get the 5 seed.
English
@TimBontemps You also forgot the scenario if Toronto-Orlando-Philly end up with 45 wins. Philly then jumps to 6 seed.
English
This is my mistake – blanked on the possibility of a three-team tie.
If Orlando loses to Boston, the below applies.
If Orlando beats Boston, and ATL-ORL-TOR all are tied at 46 wins, the order would be:
ATL-TOR-ORL
Apologies – too many scenarios.
Tim Bontemps@TimBontemps
Final: Knicks 112, Raptors 95 New York is officially the third seed in the Eastern Conference. They'll now wait to see whether they play Toronto or Atlanta in the first round. This will be decided by if Atlanta wins in Miami Sunday or not. ATL W – NYK v TOR ATL L – NYK v ATL
English
@IanBegley Did you forget about Philly? If Toronto and Orlando lose and Philly wins don't they jump to the 6 seed, correct?
English
Last one, I promise: scenario where Knicks could play Orlando in first round: if TOR loses to BKN and the Magic win in Boston, Knicks will play Magic in first round. If Hawks lose to MIA and Raptors and Magic win on Sunday, Knicks will play TOR. Apologies for tiebreaker error
Ian Begley@IanBegley
Knicks will be the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs. Their first-round opponent is up in the air entering Sunday. If Hawks lose and Raptors win Sunday, NYK will play No. 6 seed ATL in 1st rnd. Raptors will enter final game of season one game behind Hawks. They own tie-breaker over Atlanta. Hawks end season against Miami. Toronto finishes season at Brooklyn. If Hawks beat Miami on Sunday, Knicks will play Toronto in first round. If TOR loses and ORL wins its final game, Knicks will face the Magic in the first round.
