Austin adidas adizero 1.5 Young
For the Knicks, a win against Charlotte nike air foamposite sale would lock up a first-round meeting with the Heat, one that would surely rekindle memories of New York’s upset of Miami during the 1999 playoffs, the last season shortened by labor strife.
“In my mind, we’re playing the Knicks,” Heat guard Dwyane Wade said Wednesday. “That’s the mind-set I have.”
The Knicks left for Charlotte on Wednesday night after beating the Clippers at home, with players told to pack for a few days on the road. Not only is the opponent unknown, so is the first-round schedule, meaning the Knicks could find themselves facing a Game 1 in Chicago or Miami as early as Saturday afternoon.
“I’m ready to go on. I’m ready for the playoffs,” Knicks center Tyson Chandler said. “This season has been long, long enough. It’s time.”
The Rams moved ahead with three runs in the sixth inning. Bill Cullen hit a leadoff singled and moved to third one out later on a single to center by Joey Cujas. Mikionis ripped a single to center to plate Cullen. Austin Young (Jr., Mechanicsville, Va.) replaced Howard and gave up an RBI double to Ayers before Taylor Buran hit a sacrifice fly to bring in Mikionis and give VCU a 5-4 lead.
If the Knicks lose in Charlotte, that opens the door for Philadelphia to grab the No. 7 seed and a date with Miami. A Knicks loss and 76ers win in Detroit against the Pistons means Philadelphia would meet Miami for the second year in a row in the first round. The 76ers — 1-11 against the Heat since the start of last season — are resting Andre Iguodala, Elton Brand, Lou Williams and Thaddeus Young.
No. 4 seed Boston will open against No. 5 Atlanta. But if the Hawks win on adidas adizero crazy light 9.8 Thursday against Dallas or if the Celtics fall in their finale against the Milwaukee Bucks, it’ll be Atlanta with home-court advantage, despite having the lower seed.
