It's almost here! The Knicks embark on their second straight playoff journey. Last year, they were a #6 seed. In order to get the 6th seed again this season, the Magic would have to lose out (which is unlikely considering they play the lowly Bobcats Wednesday night) and the Knicks would have to win out (which has a better chance of occurring). If the season ended today, they would be the #7 and would be matched up against the Heat. If you recall the 1999-2000 playoffs, the eighth-seeded Knicks shocked the top-seeded Heat and went on to the NBA Finals, where they lost to the Spurs. That season was also a shortened season. History does have a tendency to repeat itself. If they are the 8th seed and have to play the Bulls, I feel as if they have the offensive power and defensive tenacity needed to defeat them. I could not confidently say that about them a month and a half ago. Derrick Rose isn't 100% and if the Knicks out-rebound the Bulls (who are a big rebounding team), it creates a more interesting series. You. Us. We. Now. Let's Go Knicks!
