Renewed Knicks have made Reggie Miller a believer
NY Post
When his beloved Pacers eliminated the Knicks in May, Reggie Miller posted a message to Jalen Brunson on social media that ended, “You and your boys can all heal up together on some beautiful beaches in Cancun, please enjoy!!”
But a lot has changed in five months — specifically and, most importantly, to New York’s roster.
Despite Indiana’s having advanced to the conference finals last season, Miller believes the revamped Knicks are the top threat to knock off the defending champion Celtics.
“To me, the Knicks and Boston are the two clear-cut top teams in the East,” said Miller, a Hall of Fame player and analyst on TNT.
It’s certainly not a controversial opinion.
In the annual NBA GM poll released last week, the Knicks were picked to finish second in the East by 43 percent of the executives — with 97 percent voting the Celtics as the winners.

Dylan Garand knew the number off the top of his head. He knew that, between the regular season and playoffs, he’d logged over 160 games with AHL Hartford, and he was right. Before the Rangers recalled him Friday, Garand had served as the Wolf Pack’s goaltender 165 times.
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.
