I think the Knicks will miss Divencenco and Steinberger (or whatever their center was named) come playoff time. Hope their little point guard is injury free and that Bridges comes to play. The Knicks are among my favorite teams when Phoenix is not playing (in the playoffs). Can't root for a team from the west because of rivalry. Maybe I am hoping a bit for OKC actually. And Cleveland, to wash off the LeBron stain.
They have Miles McBride and Payne backing up Brunson but really an injury to any of their rotation guys will be fatal. Precious is huge for them off the bench as well. He might be fine if OG gets hurt and sliding into the starting 5 but ultimately it's a matter of overall health. Hope they can make a run.
Agree on Cleveland but I don't like Donovan Mitchell so seeing them come up short is fine.
The East race should be interesting. I think those 2, the Celtics of course, and maybe Indiana will be tough outs. Even the bottom teams are intriguing like Orlando and Detroit, who have great foundations.
