The Athletic predicts the Atlantic Division
Today at The Athletic, their writer roundtable previewed the upcoming season for the Atlantic Division. (Paywalled)
Considered last season’s best division, all five of its teams finished .500 or better. The Knicks went 47-35 and placed third in their group, behind the Celtics (57-25) and 76ers (54-28), and ahead of the Nets (45-37) and Toronto (41-41).
