Ian Begley: Mike Brown was asked if the DET game tomorrow has some added importance since DET beat Knicks soundly in first two meetings this season. "Yeah, it should. They didn’t just win the game, they beat us pretty bad. So for us, and I don’t like to say that this game is more important than the next game. Every game is extremely important. But there comes a certain point when you’re in competition – if the wins and losses are as lopsided as those two losses – that should shake you up a little bit. At the end of the day, if we win tomorrow or win the next two games – or how many games we play them – that doesn’t necessarily guarantee that we’re going to beat them come playoff time – or vice versa. I'm a firm believer in that. I’ve been around this thing too long to see – some teams go 0-4 (in the regular season) and still win the series….That part doesn’t matter. It’s just about how those first two games turned out against us."
