The Knicks have a solid, well-balanced team with strong defense, a reliable scorer in Jalen Brunson, and the experience and grit of Julius Randle.
They’ve shown the ability to grind out wins in tough matchups during the regular season.
The East playoffs tend to be competitive but somewhat more open than the West, so the Knicks have a real shot at winning a first-round series.
Their success will depend on health, consistent play from their stars, and how well their defense holds up against playoff pressure.
Can they make it through a 7-game (or “8-game”) series? Absolutely — especially in the first round, where matchups might favor them if they’re hot and focused.
Going deeper into the playoffs (second round or beyond) will be tougher because of powerhouse teams like the Celtics, Bucks, and 76ers, but it’s not out of the question.
So yeah, the Knicks can definitely make it in the playoffs and even win a series if they keep playing their style and stay healthy.
