The New York Knicks' up-and-down season has some analysts reluctantly predicting them to make the NBA Finals, and others doubting that they can make the kind of run that fans seem to be expecting. ESPN's Tim Bontemps said on Wednesday's Brian Windhorst & The Hoop Collective that he's not confident in New York's chances this season, and he doesn't think fans should be either.
If the long-time scribe's feelings about the team are correct, and the Knicks aren't able to replicate a playoff run like last year's, it could pave the way for real roster change given the team's championship window and the amount of pressure on them to go all the way.
