The Knicks clinched their first playoff bid since 2004 with a 123-107 win over the Cavaliers on Sunday.

"This is exactly where I expected to be... in the playoffs," Amar'e Stoudemire said. "This was the goal when I signed here. I sat down with Mr. Dolan and said this is our plan. The plan has come into full motion and now it is time to take the momentum into the playoffs."

"It's crazy to think that a storied franchise like the Knicks went seven years without making it," Chauncey Billups added. "Every year I never think 'I just want to make the playoffs.' I go into every season thinking, 'How far can we go this year.'"
