The New York Knicks are clearly a better this year than they were last year.
But are they ready to face the Heat? Have they fixed enough of their issues to truly challenge them in a hypothetical playoff series or will they be doomed by the same fatal flaws?
Gavin Schall is joined by John Jablonka of The Miami Heat Beat to answer those questions and many more on this addition of Locked On Knicks.

If ny meet miami is playoff proving an no how to win in the playoffs, I feel they will beat ny knicks again we need to get a player that play good in regular season elevate his game in the playoffs
As a Knicks fan, I'm really concerned about this team, the front office in particular. They have all of these trade assets and that's great. The problem is, we've had these trade assets for 2 and a half years now and they have only incrementally improved this team.
They seem to be waiting for that one star player to emerge so they can trade for them. That's a good strategy but the problem is this; the teams that have young superstars are not going to part with them for anything, and the older superstars are reaching age limits that make their title contending windows small and they will get smaller the longer the Knicks wait to try and trade for them. Then you have the obtainable stars that are at the age where injuries are more frequent, and on top of that they'll want contract extensions, even though they aren't durable enough to play an entire season, and on top of all that their level of play is is diminished because of age.
Then there's the problem of rebuilding the roster because of the packages the Knicks will have to give up to obtain them. This team is stuck on a hamster wheel; they aren't good enough to win, yet they aren't bad enough to get a player high enough in the draft that could move the needle for the Knicks, making them good enough to win a championship. Speaking of the draft, they have just ruined the possibility of getting the team better by botching it up the last few years. I don't know what they are going to do, but I don't see this team advancing past the second round of the playoffs, just because I don't think they are good enough. I will say this though, this is the fourth year of this front office tenure, and they have made the Knicks an average at best team. If we don't improve personnel wise and we fall in the second round again, it might be time to get some fresh faces in the front office.
