The New York Knicks might have started the season—reasonably, considering the offseason changes—slow going 5-6 in their first 11 regular-season games but the Knickerbockers are starting to click on all cylinders and have gone 8-2 in their last 10 matchups.
By beating the Orlando Magic on Tuesday, New York clinched a spot in the NBA Cup quarter-finals as they aim to crash the Las Vegas party with A semi-finals and hopefully finals appearance later this month as they try to become the second-ever team to hoist the IST Chip.
All of that sounds great, but as it’s been always the case in the power rankings published across the internet there’s not quite a positive consensus when it comes to the Knicks' clear-and-obvious improvement of late, even coming off a 3-1 (through Sunday, 4-1 through Tuesday) week.
