The NY Knicks are so far showing a Jekyll & Hyde complex three games after the big trade. They look great beating the Bucks, then look horrible in an ugly loss to the Cavs on Friday, then look like a top tier NBA team as the beat the Heat in Miami while playing defense (yes I said defense) on Monday.
They are right now the #6 seed in the Eastern Conference. They are 5 games back of the #5 seed and 7.5 games back of the #4 seed. I'll go as far to say they have a good chance to become the #4 seed in the East. However, this Jekyll & Hyde complex cannot continue. They have 14 games left out of the 25 remaining against under .500 teams, 3 against the Pacers, 2 against the Nets, 2 against the Cavs & 2 against the Bucks. Worst case scenario, they have to go at least 11-3 in these games if not better. All other games are against what are right now playoff teams including 3 against the Magic. To actually make the #4 seed, nothing worse than 5-4 or better is what they need to do. It may be a stretch but with the team they have now they can possibly get to the #5 seed at least.
