The New York Knicks have been having an outstanding season finishing the regular season 50-32. They have great chemistry, especially having three starters that played together at Villanova. These players include Josh Hart, Donte Divencenzo, and Jalen Brunson. Brunson has led their team to the playoffs and has been having an amazing season. They picked up Anunoby midway through the season and he has made a huge impact on defense. The Knicks earned the 2 seed in the Eastern side of the playoffs. They went on to take down the 76ers in a 6 game series. Joel Embid and Tyrese Maxey carried the 76ers but came up short.

Mr. Cianfano, a math teacher at WMS, answered, “I think the Knicks, I think the Knicks are on fire right now. I think they got some of the best players in the league, especially Brunson. If they keep doing what they are doing, I think they will be fine. I guess Philadelphia gave them a little trouble towards the end, but the Knicks showed they are a better team. So I think they should be okay against the Pacers.” 

This was a debate, Brunson or Haliburton, who will have a better series and lead their team to the next round?

Mr. Cianfano continued stating, “I’m kinda biased on this, but I’m going to have to go with Brunson.”

Anunoby’s impact on defense against the Pacers

Mr. Cianfanos prediction is, “I think maybe not shut them down, but I think he’ll cause some problems. Very helpful.”
