First off, a question? If th Knicks win their last two and the Hawks lose their last two, their records would be tied. Can the knicks take the fifth seed? OK, you're the coach of the knicks. You lost to the Bulls (knock on wood). Philly is still alive for the sixth seed.  If the Knicks beat Boston, they get the sixth seed and will play Boston in the playoffs. If the Knicks lose, and Philly wins, the Knicks will play Miami.  As the coach of the Knicks, how do you approach the last game of the season against Boston? Do you play your starters many minutes because you want to play Boston? Or do you play your bench, because you don't care about whom you play, you want your team healthy  for the playoffs. Do you try to win the game because you want the Knicks to enter the playoffs with a lot of momentum ? Lastly, do you lose the game, because you feel your team match up better against Miami? Thanks in advance to anyone who responds to these questions.
