Sitting at 19-22 and two games out of a playoff spot, the Knicks are in a much better position at the midway point than most thought possible when the season started.
Before I get to what could happen the rest of the way, here are some midseason awards:
MVP: This has to be Kristaps Porzingis. Even with his efficiency numbers plummeting, he is still the Knicks’ best player and it isn’t close. He has improved his offense with a more consistent post game, and is one of the best rim protectors in the NBA. He has taken the responsibility of being the Knicks’ top gun and hasn’t blinked.
