Again, the New York Knicks struck the NBA championship in the door last season.
Unfortunately, they could not finish the work, and they lost against a team from Indiana Pacers, most of the analysts thought they should have beat.
This finally led to the dismissal of Tom Thibodeau, and although it was not fair, replacing it with Mike Brown brought hope to the Big Apple.

In this spirit, the legend of the NBA, Carmelo Anthony, shared his honest thoughts on the prospects of the Knicks for the coming season, and it is just to say that it is quite optimistic about them:
“They have everything,” said Anthony. “The players, the leader. We have the best big man shooter perhaps in history, Mike Brown, Brunson, Offball, Clarkson, Brogdon. I look at the pre-season, I see the rhythm fast, the system … I … I … Knicks would be the head of the n ° 1-and I just dropped the microphone.”
Of course, as a former favorite of Knicks and Fans, Anthony is clearly a bit biased. Here again, from the basketball point of view, it is difficult not to agree with this evaluation.
In addition to that, with Tyrese Haliburton and Jayson Tatum with injuries and the 76ers of Philadelphia still not having a calendar for Joel Embiid, the Knicks should be the main candidate to get out of the eastern conference.
Jalen Brunson is comfortable with the new Knicks look
The Knicks simply swept away the Sixers in Abu Dhabi in two pre-season games, and although they are clearly still work in progress, the first yields are quite encouraging.
More than that, it seems that Jalen Brunson has completely bought the Mike Brown system. After the team’s last victory over the Sixers, the stars leader shared his optimism:
“I’m comfortable,” said Brunson. “We always adjust ourselves, and this is the process of this whole season. You are not only who are at the end of the training camp. You will continue to improve throughout the season. So I think that the more we cross this and understand what is necessary and we have asked, the better we are going to be. ”
The Knicks have everything they need to be one of the driving forces of the Eastern Conference this season, and the fact that they have fired Thibodeau shows that the front office is more than willing to take drastic measures to make sure that this team is up to its potential and passes over the bump once and for all, so don’t be shocked if they take a big step at a time of the season.
