We may have underestimated the Knicks a bit. They do have a really good starting 5 and Brunson does not turn the ball over a ton for his usage rate. They have found some good production out of their bench which has been big and a bit unexpected for sure.
Personally I am really hoping OKC or the Spurs make quick work of them but do not think it is going to be that easy for them. I bet on the Knicks to win it all earlier in the playoffs to hedge my emotions at least.
We have underestimated the Knicks. They could still lose the series but there is no doubt we have underestimated them. I also do think the 3pt% is the great equalizer at this point. Basically whoever shoots the higher % from 3 seems to win in the eastern conference so maybe the Celtics are closer to competing because seemingly they just need to shoot higher than like 39% from three in the playoffs next year.
