KNICKS SLIPS AWAY ! Frustrated Carmelo Anthony had no answer Sunday night against the Cavaliers as the Knicks' winning streak ended at eight. Hours before the Knicks took the floor Sunday night the Atlanta Hawks lost again, opening the door for the Knicks to pull within two games of the final playoff berth in the Eastern Conference. Knicks coach Woodson saw the score, knew the numbers, but still approached the Knicks game with a simple strategy. Without their best player, Kyrie, the Cavs got a season-high 31 points from Jarrett Jack, including a pull-up jumper with 24.7 seconds left over Felton and Chandler to put the Cavs up four.

KNICKS MAKING THE PLAYOFFS Before the game, Woodson talked about how important it was for the Knicks to remain focused, regardless of whether Atlanta won or lost. Its good if they lose, but again, its about what we do at this point, Woodson said. Our focus is not on Atlanta or Charlotte. Its on the Knicks and how were playing and competing. Every game is important. We just dont have any room for error. Were trying to get in. The Knicks erred Sunday night, losing a game they expected to win. Their margin for error got even smaller, with a five-game trip ahead.

HOW WILL YOUR TOPIC AFFECT SOMEONE? My Topic Will affect all the knick fans because they are not that bad of a team but they are going to make it. Why? Because they were suppose to make the playoffs and they are a good team and its in New York How ? Because they are in New York. When you are in New York your going to have a lot of stuff on your back because it a lot of people living there.

HOW HARD ? It will not be that hard because the season is still going and they are still going. They are almost there and still going hard.
