So the oddsmakers say the Knicks are the underdogs. They say they won\u2019t beat the San Antonio Spurs and their 7-foot-4 freak center Victor Wembanyama in the NBA Finals starting Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

Yet the bookmakers also said the Knicks would never make it to the Finals; they said it would be Boston or Detroit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But a funny thing happened along the way to the Knicks\u2019 expected burial.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The team started playing the best basketball this city has seen since the glory days of 1969-\u201973, and the last time the Knicks won an NBA championship.\u00a0<\/p>\n

They haven\u2019t lost since April 23. They\u2019ve won 11 straight postseason games by an average of 23.8 points, easily the best in NBA playoff history.<\/p>\n

Most recently, they cruised\u00a0to the Eastern Conference title\u00a0in a four-game beatdown of the Cleveland Cadavers . . . ur, Cavaliers. This followed\u00a086\u2019ing the 76ers\u00a0in four games and turning the Hawks into doves in three.<\/p>\n

Now New York fans aren\u2019t just dreaming of past Knicks glory days: This 2026 iteration is providing new glories \u2014\u00a0in abundance<\/em><\/p>\n

They\u2019ve been getting better and better all year long, especially on defense \u2014 the hallmark of past Knick champions \u2014 as Karl-Anthony Towns came into his own as a two-way menace and Mike Brown\u2019s coaching philosophy took full hold. <\/p>\n

Sure, they face infinite questions: Can OG Anunoby continue to control Wembanyama? Will Mitchell Robinson perform despite his broken left pinky?<\/p>\n

But many are positive <\/em>unknowns: How will Jalen Brunson\u2019s brilliant leadership undo the Spurs\u2019 gameplans?<\/p>\n

How much of an edge will the Knicks draw from the experience of Mikal Bridges and the team\u2019s other vets?<\/p>\n

New York has played 56 playoff games in Brunson\u2019s four years; with Game 2, it\u2019ll officially become the league\u2019s most-postseason-experienced team over that period.<\/p>\n

And the Knicks have been playing some of the best basketball of their lives; the team\u2019s energy is electrifying the city from The Bronx to Coney Island.<\/p>\n
