Former Knicks guard John Starks believes that his former team has what it takes to make it to the NBA Finals this year. Starks appeared on SiriusXM's NBA Radio and stated that he had the Knicks coming out of the East, referring to the team's strong record against Eastern Conference teams during the regular season. The Knicks made it to the Eastern Conference Semifinals and currently hold a 3-1 lead over the Cleveland Cavaliers. Should they advance, they will face the winner of the Milwaukee Bucks-Miami Heat series. The Heat currently hold a 3-1 lead over the Bucks and could prove to be formidable opponents for the Knicks should they advance. However, the Knicks had a 3-1 record against the Heat during the regular season, suggesting that they could give them a good run in the playoffs. While it remains to be seen whether the Knicks can make a deep playoff run this year, they have shown that they are a team to reckon with.
