Don’t expect the Knicks to be in a playoff race this season. That is according to TNT’s Stan Van Gundy and Reggie Miller.
But the new TNT voice, Van Gundy, was unusually complimentary about their future prospects, saying the club is “headed in the right direction.’’
The elder Van Gundy called last season’s Knicks “unwatchable’’ but gave kudos to team president Steve Mills and GM Scott Perry for picking themselves up off the mat after failing to land Kevin Durant or Kyrie Irving.
Van Gundy, the former Heat, Magic and Pistons coach, has delivered his share of digs at the Knicks in the past – possibly over how his brother Jeff was treated during his tenure as head coach from 1996-2001.
