The New York Knicks last sniffed the postseason in the 2012-13 season, when they lost in the Eastern Conference Semifinals to the Indiana Pacers. Since then, the Knicks have followed with five consecutive losing seasons, including the 2017-18 campaign’s 29-53 record.
For 2018-19, the Knicks will look to return to the postseason, but adversity lies ahead with Kristaps Porzingis’ ACL injury and the unknown development of young talent.
Well, count Metta World Peace, who played for New York in the 2013-14 season, as someone in favor of the Knicks’ postseason chances. However, he went the extra mile and put them in the 2019 NBA Finals against the Los Angeles Lakers, with Porzingis as the MVP of the series.
