It definitely took away a little bit from the game that Brown didn't play.

But when you're making big shots down the stretch, as they did, when you're making big defensive stops, Tatum had, what, two?

I think he had six or seven turnovers on the night.

He had a couple in the final five minutes.

But I thought part of it was him.

I thought part of it was the defense the Knicks were playing.

They've won 52 games.

You've got a couple to go.

I sit back in November when the season began and they were playing well and they won the NBA Cup.

This team's got the makings of a championship team.

I know it's like the baseball season.

It goes on forever.

And we have ups and we have downs.

And they have bad stretches and good stretches.

But now it's go time.

Now it's the playoffs.

This is when it counts.

And if they are ramping up at this point as we head into next week, then I think if you're a Knick fan, you've got to be really positive with what this team can do.

And by that, I mean go win the Eastern Conference.

To me, nothing tells me that they can't beat the Pistons.
