It’s been 51 long years since the New York Knicks have won an NBA Championship.
Tom Thibodeau’s team hopes to change that this coming season.
In order to make that happen, they’ll have to go through more than a few formidable foes.
Over the course of the 2024-25 season, Jalen Brunson, Mikal Bridges, O.G. Anunoby, Josh Hart and co. will have to get through the NBA champion Boston Celtics four times, Eastern Conference rival Philadelphia 76ers three times and stacked Milwaukee Bucks three times, too.
Plus, there will be a trio of matchups against the Indiana Pacers who dealt the Knicks a crushing seven-game Eastern Conference Semifinals loss.
Other notable opponents include the crosstown Brooklyn Nets — whom the Knicks swiped star Mikal Bridges from over the offseason — and Isaiah Hartenstein’s new team, the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Simply put, the squad has their work cut out for them.
“We can’t just go into the season and jump right back into the second round. We got to go back and start over again,” Brunson said in an MSG Network press conference. “We have some new pieces. We have some familiar faces. What can we do with it? What type of team do you want to be? We just got to lock in and buy-in together.”
If you want to be there to help the Knicks build from the ground up once again at Madison Square Garden, tickets are available for all home games — including preseason and in-season tournament contests — as soon as today.
