top 5 how fam? cleveland, indy, chicago, wiz, heat...how are the knicks better than them

Knicks caught every bad break last year players regressed, injuries, and plain old bad luck handicapped their season.

Somehow they still almost made the playoffs, doubt the same thing happens again.....they're definitely making it this year.

Also Melo had the best year of his career, Amare played the most games he has in 3 years, and they still missed the playoffs in the weakest East in maybe 15 years.

Putting a lot of faith in a rookie coach, guys suddenly just snapping out of it, and Amare being as healthy or healthier.

Think this is going to get a lot of usage next season...

I'd love to see them take the division title from Toronto.
It's very likely too, for so many different reasons

Was having a discussion with some friends today. Would you guys says chi has a top 5 bench in the NBA?

 

[captainjackson]

people think the bulls take the 1st seed in the east? i would pick the cavs or wizards to finish ahead of them, injuries are bound to happen to rose and pau.

If Knicks win the division then they are an automatic 5th seed on a Worse Case scenario, right?

Yes, but in no shape or form right now are they better than Toronto.

The Knicks are not winning the division.

Toronto has a year of growth from their young players (and kept their core intact) and they now have playoff experience

Brooklyn now has a experienced and great coach with Lionel Hollins. The Nets last year were easily a 50+ win team, but JKidd's learning curve cost them early season wins

I just realized Andre Miller re-upped with them too. Miller and Pierce running a fastbreak = shot clock violation.

Toronto won 10 more games than Knicks last year. I don't think it's too far fetched. Though I'd agree Toronto is better. They win 50 this year so Knicks have work to do, that's clear
