I think lack of star power crucial for a deep playoff run will show very quickly in the playoffs. Or in other words, I think other teams might have another gear or two left, I don't see that with Knicks.
Still, I don't think Boston will have such an easy job. They will (probably) get either Miami or Philly in the first round, none of them really a walkover. Second round is probably Cleveland, that has showed flashes of a really good team early in the season.
I agree with you, Knicks are lacking that something extra to make it out of ECF.
One future worry with the Knicks though... is if the Bucks get bounced early and Giannis then decides to bounce as well, the Knicks could be a potential destination for him. If they could get it done while keeping Brunson and Anunoby, that would be a scary team. Even if they have to send Anunoby + Randle, it's still a good team.
- Brunson, Donte, Hart, Giannis, Robinson.
- McBride, Milton, Burks/Bogi, Achiuwa, Hartenstein.
