Raymond Felton doesn't see it as the Knicks' season getting disrupted or the team's continuity being disturbed by Tuesday's postponed game vs. the Magic. His day, though, was lost.
"It doesn't really disrupt anything. It just kind of messes up the whole day," the point guard said yesterday of getting set to play and having the game postponed. "It just throws your whole day off."
Tuesday's Knicks-Magic game at Madison Square Garden never happened, thanks to debris falling from the ceiling into the arena. So the Knicks, idle since Saturday, got the night off, and as a result, they'll now have four days between games. Aside from the All-Star break, that'll match their longest hiatus of the season.
NO WORRIES: Raymond Felton expects the Garden to be safe when the Knicks play there tomorrow.

NO WORRIES: Raymond Felton expects the Garden to be safe when the Knicks play there tomorrow.
Their hiatus between home games, fortunately, won't go much further. Late yesterday afternoon, MSG announced that safety concerns have been allayed and the scheduled Knicks-Wizards game tomorrow at the Garden will be played. So the Knicks won't have to explore neutral venues or have any more postponements.
And tonight they'll resume their season in Chicago against the Bulls, finishing their early slate of three extremely tough games in a row (it would have been four if they'd faced Orlando). After winning their opener against the Raptors in Toronto last Wednesday, the Knicks (1-2) lost Friday to the Celtics in Boston, then dropped their home opener Saturday against the Trail Blazers.
"The only thing we can do is take [the postponement] in a positive way, which would be when we do play [the Magic], we'll be a better team because we're young," Mike D'Antoni said. "That's the only way to look at it. And then get ready for Chicago. Just put it out of your mind and go ahead. Really, it doesn't disrupt anything. We're ready to go."
