That would be perfect for us if it happens. Avoid the play-ins and get the Townsless Wolves in the first round.

I just don't want OKC in the first round, that's my main hope. OKC has some weaknesses like being slender in the front court, but I think their overall energy and firepower would just dominate us.

Ya it seems they are a bad matchup for us…I hope they get LA because I think the Lakers beat OKC in round 1

That’s super disappointing. The Knicks have a really fun team. Would have been great to see some ECF games from the Garden.

Seems like they been trending down though

Brunson and Hart carrying little nagging injuries and word is that it's another Thibs Masterclass playing his guys too heavy minutes
Anunoby came from Raptors with an injury which still hampering him so yeah looking fairly rough

Knicks fans were quite the happy bunch for most of the year and guess it would be cool if Madison Square Garden was rocking but looks unlikely

Really sucks for the Knicks. Randle's been a workhorse for them and this was a tough injury. Was hoping he'd make it back. OG's injury exasperates things and Bogdanovic hasn't really lived up to expectations since the trade. I think a fully healthy Knicks team could really challenge in the East but they're stretched really thin now. Energy/hustle guys like Hart and Achiuwa (who's been really good for them) have been overextended at this point, DDV's come back down to Earth with his shooting and there's only so much Brunson can do.

Randle fell on his shoulder; I wouldn't say it was a result of playing heavy minutes. I tend to think the narrative about Thibs playing guys too many minutes is not all that accurate.

How can someone’s touch be that far off?

I counted no fewer than 3 shots the Nuggets should've taken in that possession.

That's not to mention the illegal screen foul was a pretty bad call by the official.
