The Knicks aren’t as good as the Celtics, Bucks, or 76ers, according to Stan Van Gundy.

Due to their recent performance, the New York Knicks are getting more respect than they usually do. The Knicks have historically been perceived as a poor team that is incapable of making an impact when it matters most. The story has turned with Jalen Brunson and others’ play.

TNT commentator Stan Van Gundy discussed the Knicks’ recent performance with the New York Post, pointing out that the team has a chance to win 50 games this season.

“I believe that the Knicks are doing that, and I think that people underestimate the difficulty of the regular season and the consistency it takes to go out and play high-level basketball every single night in the NBA.” “I think that 50 games has always sort of been a marker in the league of a really good regular-season team.”

The Knicks would only have achieved 50 victories in a season twice in the previous 24 seasons.

Can the Knicks Face Off Against the Celtics and Bucks?

The Knicks’ success during the regular season is exciting for the supporters and indicates that the team is headed in the right direction, but there is still a significant question. It begs the issue of whether they can defeat the Boston Celtics and Milwaukee Bucks.

It’s difficult to determine if they have what it takes to win, but it’s also reasonable to acknowledge that nobody predicted the Miami Heat to defeat those two clubs the previous season. The Bucks and Celtics may be the greatest basketball teams in terms of star power. They’re stacked and extremely difficult to defeat at their peak. Van Gundy wonders if the Knicks have enough players to compete with them and the Sixers of Philadelphia.

“Look, I don’t think the Knicks are as talented as those other three teams [Boston, Milwaukee, and Philadelphia], but I’m genuine when I say Miami wasn’t nearly as good last year as the Knicks are now, and they ended up in the NBA Finals. That’s why, as a New York fan, I’m enthusiastic about this club. You have a puncher’s chance when boxing. In my opinion, New York now has a greater opportunity than they have in a long time to advance further in the playoffs—perhaps even two steps. However, I still believe that if they could go past the first round victory, they would need some rest, or perhaps they would succeed and keep becoming better.

“Alec Burks, a former favourite of Tom Thibodeau, and Hornets guard Terry Rozier are among the players the Knicks are considering as they conduct their due diligence,” according to sources. According to league insiders who spoke with HoopsHype, the Knicks are also scouring the trade market for a backup power forward.

We’ll get a clearer picture of the Knicks’ potential this season once we see what the roster has to offer after the deadline.
