With their win over Cleveland on Sunday, the Knicks wrapped up their first playoff berth since way back in 2004. Two days later, they moved back above .500 with a win over New Jersey.

(The question now becomes: Would the Knicks rather face the Celtics or Heat in the first round of the playoffs?) But what happened this week that didn’t involve Carmela St. Knix?
