Time to find out if Tom Thibodeau just built a Knicks mirage
NY Post
The Knicks’ 41-31 regular-season record was good for fourth in the East – 12th-best in the NBA. It was a sensational turnaround from a club that amassed 38 wins combined the previous two seasons.
The question is whether 41-31 is indicative of how Tom Thibodeau’s Knicks fare in their first playoffs series since 2013 – a seven-season drought. Perhaps lowering expectations for his best buddy, former Knicks coach Jeff Van Gundy says the Hawks are a better team on paper. And he warned the Knicks’ record could be inflated because of the method in which Thibodeau operates the regular season.More Related News
