I think lack of star power crucial for a deep playoff run will show very quickly in the playoffs. Or in other words, I think other teams might have another gear or two left, I don't see that with Knicks.
Still, I don't think Boston will have such an easy job. They will (probably) get either Miami or Philly in the first round, none of them really a walkover. Second round is probably Cleveland, that has showed flashes of a really good team early in the season.
Fair enough. Hey, you're entitled to your opinion. I just think the Knicks play with a toughness about themselves. They don't get rattled easily. They really don't need so called star power when they all play on a string. And I would say Brunson is a star in the making. Not too many teams are fortunate enough to have two players the caliber of Luka and Kyrie. Cleveland has hit the skids. They aren't the same team. They will have their hands full with the Magic. Philly is on a 8 or 9 game winning streak since Embiid has been back.
