The Celtics had Tatum, Brown, Holiday, White, KP, Pritchard, Horford, and still failed to repeat. With Mazzulla and Brad at the helms. The Knicks are nowhere near as stacked as that
Celtics had Tatum torn his Achilles injury and KP had illness and sick at the end of season couldn’t even play half of each games. Also You just proven that this Knicks are used to beating top teams in the East and they just need to Prepare vs the West and Always being clutch when the games are close and always overcoming 20+ point deficits.
Okc had Jalen Willow Injured this post season, Denver had Aaron Gordon Injured, Bucks have Giannis or Middleton injured during their title defending runs. Warriors just got old and beaten by lebrons Hungrier Lakers. Lakers ADavis was injured up 2-1 vs the finals suns.
So if Knicks can Coast the Season like this past year and just Turn it up in the playoffs being completely healthy they will be a Contender again coming out of the East!

OG and Robinson and Brunson All were little injured during this playoff run and it was scary close call!
