New York Knicks: Stan Van Gundy thinks NYK took step forward
TNT analyst Stan Van Gundy said the New York Knicks are not a playoff team, but he liked the improvements made to the roster in the offseason.
The New York Knicks last found their playoff groove in 2013, long before the current roster was in place. The only “holdover” is president Steve Mills, who held a different role earlier this decade. Otherwise, through the Phil Jackson era and the multiple head coaches in place, postseason appearances have been nonexistent.
Expectations for extending the Knicks’ season may still not be high, but they reworked the roster in the summer, to change a team that went 17-65 in 2018-19.
