Mike D'Antoni is unconcerned with New York's seeding if they are unable to be a top-4, which would require a sustained losing streak from the Celtics, Heat, Bulls or Magic.

"The top four seeds are really important, and then you can play fantasy basketball, but you don’t know and you don’t try to get into any position unless somebody goes out with three players, then all of a sudden you say you want to get there because they don’t have three players," D'Antoni said Sunday. "But if everybody is healthy and playing well, it doesn’t mean much. The biggest thing is just trying to play well and get in the playoffs. If you’re playing well at that point, no matter what, you’ve got to win on the road anyway sometimes."
