Admit it, you didn’t think the New York Knicks would be this good.
Carmelo Anthony was coming off of a bad season. A mediocre point guard (Jeremy Lin) was replaced by another mediocre point guard (Raymond Felton), ancient Jason Kidd was on board, Tyson Chandler was only getting older, the supporting cast was ancient, J.R.
