Knicks are a traffic cone on defense, we should be able to run circles around them similar to our previous meeting.

Lookin at mcnuggets remaining games they have a comparatively easier schedule. So it is possible they will remain in this 2seed/3seed slot with us; we have to keep staying atop, lest we drop to 3seed and give up homecourt advantage to them (if we meet them in the second round).

^^^^ It'll be great if a team like golden state or the wolves can put some hot mustard sauce on them nuggetz and knock them out in the first round.

That would be some great justice to the basketball world.

I think their 15 mins of fame is just too extended.

B4 the season my prediction was Knicks/Dallas finals

Still think It will be Knicks though.
