I want to see the Knicks face the Nets. Now the Knicks have something to prove after that last game against them. Maybe in this series the Knicks can show some heart, and defend the Nets' fast break instead of laggin behind. They need to play more aggressive. If they can get out of the first round, against the Nets, then the Knicks might be ready for a team like the Pacers.
If they were to face the Pacers in the first round they might get a little overwhelmed. Still I do see the Knicks playing with more passion in the playoffs. The playoffs is a new start for the Knicks and I think that psychologically, some of the players on this team need that piece of mind. If this team can play with heart and gel together, they are capable of beating any team in this conference.
