The 2024-24 NBA season has turned out to be one of the most unpredictable ones so far. A few teams that once were at the top are struggling to win and have a record of 1-9 in the last ten games. On the other hand, teams like the New York Knicks, who were struggling at the start of the season, have a record of 8-2 in their last ten games.
The Knicks are now among the top four teams in the Eastern Conference and are inching closer to the qualifying scenario. Looking at their form, ESPN analyst Stephen Smith believes they have a chance to make it into the conference finals.
Stephen Smith said:
“I think the New York Knicks can make it to the conference finals. Yes, I do.”
Not only him but a few weeks ago, Zach Lowe said:
“We could wake up, and the Knicks could be in the conference finals.”

Can the New York Knicks make it to the conference finals?
The New York Knicks have had a trophy drought since 2013, and their last conference title came back in 1999. Last year, they made it to the conference semi-finals but lost against the Miami Heat.
So far, in the 2024–24 season, they have a record of 29–17. They have defeated the Bucks, Cavaliers, Timberwolves, Nuggets, Heat, and other teams. This also means they have tasted victory against the top teams of the season, who are also possible playoff matchups.
Most importantly, key players like Jalen Brunson, Julius Randle, Donte DiVincenzo, and others have fired up. They have stood up to every challenge and have passed the test with flying colors. Altogether, the New York Knicks have a good squad and the chance of making it to the conference finals.
