Hornets had 2 big games in a row q week ago or so and lost bad. They are a fun story but they aren’t doing anything

It’s not about that. Hornets just deserve to get in. If it was the West they would easily be the 7 seed at worst

let’s not forget Patrick and Clyde, eh?
And as a Knick fan for over 60 years, IMO there are maybe 5 teams the Knicks could either beat or lose to now if Embiid is back at full strength, which is a question mark. Philly, Atlanta, Cleveland, Boston. And of course Detroit now with all their players back is a MAJOR problem. Thank god they will not have to face all of them

I can’t say I’m excited for the first round. A super Saiyan Kawahi leonard against OKC would be interesting. But nothing interesting in the East.
Second round would be very very exciting though.

I’m not a Knicks fan but I would think that Brunson would still be behind guys like Patrick Ewing, Willis Reed, and Clyde Frazier, but he would be in the conversation though
