NBA Power Rankings: Is it time to start talking about San Antonio Spurs?

New York Knicks. 13. team. 27. Things have been going a lot better than expected for the New York Knicks this season. Aside from Joakim Noah looking like he won’t make it through year one of his four-year deal and Derrick Rose being in and out of the lineup with back spasms, the Knicks have enjoyed a relatively healthy year as they approach 30 games. Of course, Noah and Rose were Phil Jackson’s two biggest additions to the team this offseason. When Rose is out there playing the Knicks have looked like a team that could win around 45 games. With Rose sidelined they have looked more like a team that would only win about 30 games. Kristaps Porzingis continues to do unicorn things and the world should be terrified of what the kid could and will become in his prime. The trio of Anthony, Porzingis, and Rose notched their second game all season where each scored at least 20 points. More nights like that should be enough to secure the Knicks a spot in the postseason.. 15-13.
