Ok,lets say that we really luck out and Houston comes back close to 100%.TT comes back on a mission to shake the bad rep he got last season.Baker's surgery and sobriety breathes new life into his game,Crawford picks up his FG pct,Sweetney comes back and starts playing like a monster,JYD sets the tone with his all out style of play,Nazr has a 9\9 season.
With this scenario,however far fetched(I dont believe it is,unlikely maybe) how far do you think the Knicks could go?
i'd say the absolute highest they could go if EVERY chip fell in place & they all had a great season next year is to the Eastern Conference Finals...even then, i don't think they would be a better team than DET or IND, or even MIA...the Knicks just don't have the players to win a title just yet...but it's a work in progress...everyone needs to realize that & be patient.
I respectfully disagree. Yes, DET had a great year last year
and surprised everyone. But their talent is not so unbelievable
that they are guarranteed to do it again. Somebody goes down,
or something happens to their chemistry, and their a mediocre team.
Indiannapolis, I may be wrong, but I never really was all that
impressed. Not a team that can't be beat.
Miami, well they are a big question mark. How much can Shaq
shoulder by himself in the front line? Can he stay healthy?
Nothing is certain.
So, IF (big IF) the chips fell just right for the Knicks,
no telling what could happen. 1999?
