You kind of cast doubt on them finishing 2nd. But what I'm probably thinking of is you said you'd eat crow if they get to the ECF. Close enough right?
Ok ok I may have been off there.
Meanwhile I'm enjoying having a team to root for in the playoffs.
So not only did you misquote me but you didn’t even get the point I was trying to make. There were 4-6 teams very close together in the standings. Knicks finished 2nd but could’ve easily finished much lower.
My only point was in spite of injuries they did indeed fight through and finish second. Ahead of healthier teams
100%, the Knicks had no business finishing 2nd with players like Josh Hart, DiVincenzo, McBride, Hartenstein and without OG and Randle (&Robinson). Brunson is not that guy, he is very good player but he is no Kyrie, Prime-Westbrook, etc... They do have a genius on their bench that incorporated all the 3-pt shooting.
I will always wonder what a coach like that would have done with Barnes, OG, Pascal, Jakob, GTJ, Dennis..
