I follow a really basic filter for determining which teams can sustain deep playoff runs and play Finals-level basketball
Top 11 defense (only 2 teams have won the chip without a top 11 rated defense) ->
Health (your top 3 players gotta be healthy) ->
At least 2 high-level playmakers who can run the offense (look at every championship team, besides maybe the 16 Cavs every team needs to have reliable playmaking off the bench and in the starting lineup) ->
At least 2 bucket getters who can go off for 30 on any given night
After that, it's a matchup basis where chemistry / continuity, starpower, and experience are factored in. But every contender checks off all those initial boxes, and the Knicks do. It might sound crazy but they're a championship-level team, just probably lack the starpower and experience to be favorites over more stacked teams like Philly.

Can’t believe the team has a whole week off. That has never happened before since usual duration between the ending of the season and playoffs is two days.
I wonder if Tibs wins a championship with his Bulls team with five extra days of rest before the playoffs started.

It balances out since this season was condensed and COVID testing / protocols made every team's schedule tougher

It should carry over even in 82 games. Keep the play in, and reward seed 1-6 with rest.

Let's Go!
If it's not made by the evening... I'll make the playoffs thread.
Kind of busy at the moment.
Don't worry, if an actual versus thread is made, don't worry an official Knicks one will be on deck with @Mr. Jack Napier title first up.

Bro, am I trippin'?
If the Knicks get passed the Hawks, I think we can give the Sixers a run for their money. I know we're 0-3 vs. them this year, but the last two games (since we got Rose) we only lost by 4 points in two games and one of them in OT.
Forgive me, I'm just excited.
