Due to their recent performance, the New York Knicks are getting more respect than they usually do. The Knicks have historically been perceived as a poor team that is incapable of making an impact when it matters most. The story has turned with Jalen Brunson and others’ play.
TNT commentator Stan Van Gundy discussed the Knicks’ recent performance with the New York Post, pointing out that the team has a chance to win 50 games this season.
“I believe that the Knicks are doing that, and I think that people underestimate the difficulty of the regular season and the consistency it takes to go out and play high-level basketball every single night in the NBA.” “I think that 50 games has always sort of been a marker in the league of a really good regular-season team.”
This would only be the second time in the past 24 seasons that the Knicks reach 50 wins in a season.
While this regular season success for the Knicks is fun for the fans and shows that the organization is on the right path, a huge question still remains. That questions if they can beat the Milwaukee Bucks and Boston Celtics.
While tough to say if they have enough to complete the task, it’s also fair to recognize that no one expected the Miami Heat to beat both of those teams last season. In terms of star power, the Bucks and Celtics might be the best teams in basketball. They’re loaded and at their best, very tough to beat.
