Knicks: Playoff Push

Wassup folks, been away for a while but you all know.....Anyways, where were we? It's been a strange season thus far and i don't think any of us are used to being somewhat inspired by this team. We've got 24 wins with over 25 left to play and a legitimate shot at making the playoffs. According to reports Marbury is finally a goner and now we can move on fully.

It's been a season of good wins mixed in with disappointing losses. the undeniable fact is that we have all seen vast improvement. An abilty to comeback in games as well as a contagious team camaraderie that Knicks fans havent seen since 1999.

2 weeks ago, Nate Robinson representing the Knicks to the fullest in the Sprite Slam Dunk Contest in Phoenix Arizona. He won the contest and has been on a tear ever since. In fact Nate, David Lee, and Wilson Chandler have been three extreme bright spots of this season. Nate and Lee need to stay here after next season and Chandler needs to find some consistency, but on the positive side, they are all 25 years of age or younger and are leading the team possibly into the playoffs.

Tomorrow night proves to be a true test as the Knicks try and re-do the dreadful 'dream-week.' With three games this week all at home the Knicks would love a 3-0 mark. Already taking care of game 1 by beating Indiana, they will see Dwight Howard and the Orlando Magic tomorrow night followed by the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday. The Knicks are 0-3 vs the Sixers this year and the sixers currently hold the 7th seed in the Eastern Conference.

Let's see what happens and......Go Knicks!
