Yes. This is the best part about the upcoming season. Rose and Noah are really exciting additions, but Michael Jordan himself could step out of a time machine from 1992 and announce he's signing with the Knicks, and I'd still be more pumped about the imminent Porzingis rampage.

We have 7 legit contributors in starting five plus Thomas and Jennings. Assuming no injuries, I would say 45 wins is pretty achievable. I wouldn't go over that since bench is weak 8-15 with many unknowns and overall injury concerns.

As long as we're higher than the 8 seed we should have no problem getting to the second round of the playoffs.

1.) Cleveland.
2.) New York.
3.) Indiana.

4.) Boston.
5.) Toronto.

6.) Detroit.
7.) Atlanta.

8.) Orlando/Charlotte/Milwaukee (Fight for the 8th seed).

I don't see either of Miami or Chicago making the playoffs this up coming season.

I'm glad we're all mostly on the same page at least, seeing the Knicks ranked somewhere in the top half of the conference. Cuz a lot of motherf*ckers are sleeping on the Knicks outside of NY. They don't understand the feeling guys like Noah and Rose bring to the team and the fans.

I'm already tired of the term "if healthy". I'm just making my predictions based on the fact that these guys are currently healthy, and they aren't old. I think both Rose and Noah are on the brink of their own respective bounce-back seasons. I also think Melo may be in the best shape of his career, and KP6???

I say anywhere from 2nd to 4th.

50 wins at least.

- KP with 18/9/2.5
- Rose with 17.5/6.5/4 (last stat is RPG)
- Melo with 22/7/6 (last stat is APG)

Jennings is the hardest one to try and predict. But here goes:

- Jennings with 13.5/5.5/3 (last stat is RPG)

--Mags
BAF 1.0 - Wizards: Year 2
PG: Kemba Walker (32) / Rivers (16) / Felton
SG: Evan Fournier (28) / Evans (20) / Dotson
SF: Gordon Hayward (36)/ Delly (12) / Dudley
PF: Kevin Love (36) / Frye (12) / Ellenson
C: Pau Gasol (32) / Noah (16) / Felicio

This is the best prediction I've seen. Still think the Hawks/Bulls in the 7-9 range though.

I think the Bulls are being overlooked - and a healthy Knicks vs Bulls in the playoffs would be epic

G - Jerry West, Hal Greer, Freddie Brown
