New York Knicks on Track to Make the Playoffs for the First Time in 10 Years

The New York Knicks have won 8 straight games, bringing New York City back to life. I am a very big Knicks fan but unfortunately, the last 10 years have made it really hard to keep my faith in the team. After we parted ways with our star player, Carmelo Anthony, the following seasons showed no promise.

That changes this year. The Knicks record is now 37–28, making them the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference. To be honest, I haven’t seen this team mesh this well in my entire life. It is almost confirmed that the Knicks have clinched a playoff spot, firing up every fan from the eye can see.

All of our players are putting up strong numbers, but Julius Randle is playing like an MVP. His hard work on offense and defense keeps us in close games and leads us to eventual victories. As well, the locker room spirits are very high so hopefully, we can take this momentum right into the playoffs. My fingers are crossed but I really do you think this team can make a major push in the playoffs.
