An ESPN Article by Ian Begley - Playoff picture: 6th still remote possibility

The Celtics clinched theAtlantic Division title with their win Wednesday over the Magic, but they leftthe Knicks with a small window to catch Orlando for the sixth spot in the East.

 

Orlando's loss left the Magic with a 36-26 record,three games ahead of the Knicks (33-29) with four to play.

 

Orlando's magic number to freeze the Knicks out ofthe No. 6 seed is two.

 

If Orlando wins twice, or New York loses twice,the Knicks will have no chance to finish in sixth. If the Magic win one oftheir next four and the Knicks lose one of their next four, New York can'tfinish in sixth.

 

But if both Orlando and New York finish with thesame record, the Knicks would win the tiebreaker based on head-to-head matchupsthis season (2-1).

 

New York plays at Cleveland (20-41) on Friday andat Atlanta (37-25) on Sunday. The Knicks then host the Clippers (39-23) nextWednesday, and finish with the Bobcats (7-54) in Charlotte the next night.

 

The Magic, playing without DwightHoward and HedoTurkoglu, finish with two back-to-backs.

 

Orlando plays at Utah (32-30) and Denver (34-28)on Saturday and Sunday, respectively, and finishes the year with a home gameagainst Charlotte (7-54) next Wednesday and a road game against Memphis (37-25)next Thursday.

 

Again, Orlando's magic number is two. So twoKnicks losses or two Magic wins -- or a combination of a Magic win and a Knicksloss -- would freeze the Knicks out of the sixth seed.

 

Wednesday's win kept the Knicks a game ahead ofthe 76ers in the race for seventh place. The Knicks also gained a game on theninth-place Bucks, moving 3 1/2 games up on Milwaukee with four to play.

They're going to face the Cavaliers soon.

 

Amare is said to be playing on this game although so is Kyrie Irving for the Cavs.. hope the Knicks won't relax on this game and aim for the 6th seed where they could either face the Pacers on that round. It's a young team that they could surely handle and hope that J-Lin will be back late in the first round or at the 2nd round.
