As the NBA playoffs approach, the Knicks are cautiously optimistic but aware of their potential challengers. They may face either the Milwaukee Bucks or Detroit Pistons in the first round, both of whom have advantages over the Knicks this season. The team’s recent history of struggling against lower-seeded teams raises questions about their readiness for a deeper playoff run. Coach Tom Thibodeau emphasizes the need for ongoing improvement, especially in matching up against the Boston Celtics, who have dominated their meetings this season.
"It's obviously an ongoing process [trying to close the gap on the Celtics]," coach Tom Thibodeau said after the Feb. 23 loss in Boston. "Their team is a well-oiled machine. They've been together for a while and so we have to keep learning and getting better."
"Every game is a test," Thibodeau said following Sunday's win against the Suns. "[We need to] understand what we have to do to win."
