Could the Knicks end the season with 50+ wins? I sure think so!

3/27/2013

The New York Knicks have surely had an up and down season this year with them going on their opening 6 game winning streak which was then ended  by the Grizzlies. Then they were 18-5 and all this crazy stuff happening with Carmelo getting injured and Amar'e Stoudemire with his injuries.  Also, right now Tyson Chandler is out for 1 week with knee and neck  problems. It has been crazy!
After that, we had no forwards or centers.  We then signed Kenyon Martin to a contract for the rest of this year and I think he will be valuable to us because we need a rough player so  that no team will want to mess with NYC! However, with Kenyon Martin  getting signed in the middle of the season be still has to get used to  the plays that the Knicks run and their style of play. Because of
this,  we had a 5 game road trip on the West Coast with no Melo, Stat, Chandler, or Rasheed Wallace. We lost the first four and then JR Smith  and Kurt Thomas stepped up to the plate to get the Knicks back on track  by beating the Utah Jazz to end the West Coast road trip. That set the  Knicks back on track and they were back to their style when Carmelo came back for the game
versus Orlando at the Garden and since then the  Knicks have been winning many games with a current 4-game win streak. 
Now they have clinched a playoff spot and have now won more than 40  games and if they win about 7 or 8 more to close the season they could  end with 50 wins and a possible 2 seed which would have them play  Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, or Milwaukee right now. The reason why I think that the Knicks have this  chance is because Kenyon Martin is getting more used to the team and Carmelo is getting back to full form and even  Tyson Chandler is getting ready to return. When Tyson returns, I think  that he will need to get used to the flow and the rhythm of the Knicks  game play. I also  think that when he comes back, he will be a bit  hesitant and it will take 2 or 3 games to get back to a fully healthy 100% Tyson Chandler.
The Knicks upcoming schedule holds the Celtics (whom they beat last night),  Grizzlies, Bobcats, and the Celtics again at the Garden to end out March and then opening up April will be the big time streaking Miami Heat at  their home. I think we can end the streak if it is not ended already  when we face the Heat. We are still winning the season series against them 2-1 and one of those wins was without Carmelo and with Felton  leading the way we won by 20+ points. Anyway, I think that all 5 of  these next games could be in the win column for the Knicks which would  have the Knicks with about 47 wins and I for sure would think that out  of their last 9 games they could at least win 3 to get them to 50 wins.  There is Chicago, Oklahoma City, and Indiana in those 9 and those are  winnable for us as soon as we figure out what to do to beat the Bulls.  Also, if you do not remember we lost to the Thunder at the Garden by 1  without our superstar Carmelo Anthony and I think we did very well with  JR Smith being our leading scorer. Also we usually have no problem  playing Indiana at home and that is why it is so critical that we get  the 2 seed because if we get past the 1st round and play the Pacers in  the Conference Semifinals and we have home court advantage then we  should win all our home games and they should win their home games  because we have played terribly in Indiana this season, we would win the series 4-3 and most likely play the Heat in the Conference Finals and  that would be a good spot for us to be in. Anyway, there are some easy  wins like Charlotte twice, Washington,  and Cleveland which we should  win and if we win win a good amount of the tougher games then we  probably will end with 50 or more wins and that is why I think that we  can do it. I think this because we are a team that is capable of beating the tougher teams and that makes us different then all the other years. This is why I think that the Knicks will end with 50 or more wins this  season.
Thanks for reading!

Getting 50+ wins would be great and locking up the Atlantic division would give us 1st place and home court for the 1st round!!!
Very important!

Yeah I would love to win the division and lock up home court. Also, if we get past Indiana in the standings then we would have home court advantage against all East teams except Miami which would be great. Anyway, thanks for posting!
