NBA analysts have a new playoff worry for the Knicks
NY Post
Pistons star Cade Cunningham has scarred Knicks fans this season with his two monstrous performances at the Garden — and the world has taken notice.
The current 3-seeded Knicks are winless this season against the Eastern Conference’s top dogs — the Cavaliers and Celtics — but Heat legend Udonis Haslem isn’t so sure that the East’s best should be the Knicks’ biggest worries right now.
“I’m not gonna even talk about second round, we’re gonna talk about first round,” Haslem said Tuesday on ESPN’s NBA Today show. “I’m looking at Detroit and I’m saying this could be a first-round exit for New York.”
The Pistons enter Wednesday’s play as the No. 6 seed in the East, meaning if they and the Knicks stay put, the two would match up in the playoffs.
The Knicks are fairly locked in to the No. 3 seed, though Detroit is just a half-game behind Milwaukee for the five spot.
“I like those thundercats out of Detroit. I’m looking at that matchup and [the Pistons] are sharpening their swords,” Haslem said. “They’re ready for this matchup — they’re excited about this matchup.”
SAN DIEGO — As you may have seen elsewhere in this newspaper (and also if you haven’t deleted me yet from your social media), I have a book coming out Tuesday called “The Bosses of The Bronx.” Much of it details the 37 years’ worth of antics, winning, losing, winning again and overall mania of George Steinbrenner’s time with the Yankees.
The Knicks are on a five-game winning streak and flooded with concerns.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.
