The New York Knicks
haven’t won a title since 1973 and have been a mediocre team at best for the
last decade, but right now they are the best team in the NBA. With a 16-5
record and number 1 in the East and with 2 blowouts to the defending NBA
Champions Miami Heat at Home and in Miami. What has made the Knicks so good so
far this season the Knicks have done it with hard nose defense ranking 10th
in the NBA in scoring defense at 95.3 ppg and by making a lot of 3 pointers and a good bench.
Jason Kidd has become a good floor leader and has provided timely 3
pointers and good floor leadership Novak continues to hit 3’s when he is on the
floor and Rasheed Wallace has given the Knicks valuable minutes and J.R Smith is
one of the most explosive sixth men in the Nba and has already hit a game
winning shot this season.
Carmelo Anthony is playing some of the best
basketball of his career right now 27.7 ppg almost 7 rebounds per game hustling
for loose balls and has even been playing good defense.
Can the Knicks keep
this up and make a run in the playoffs that is the question will they continue
hitting 3’s at the rate they are making them and will their rebounding problem
or lack thereof come back to haunt them and how will Amare come back and fit in
with a team that looks like it has a lot of chemistry with each other on the
floor.
