If Marcus Morris Says The Knicks Are Going To Make The Playoffs, Then The Knicks Are Going To The Damn Playoffs

What? Are you going to disagree with Marcus Morris? In the words of Kevin McAllister, 'I don't think so.' Simply put, if Marcus Morris says the Knicks are going to the playoffs, then the Knicks are going to the damn playoffs. Is coming off a 23-point victory over a now bad Hawks team leading to irrational confidence? Perhaps. I'm chalking it up to Gus Johnson giving the team a boost with this look on the sidelines. 

Now, I've said it before and I'll say it again. What the hell is Marcus Morris supposed to say here? Oh no we're just going to suck so we get a top draft pick and some of us will get traded to contenders. If you think that you simple don't know Marcus Morris. This is a dude that booped someone on the head in the preseason. 

And don't look now but the Knicks have won 3 outta 4! Will getting the 8 seed in the East be potentially the worst thing to do? Absolutely. The Knicks are in full rebuild mode and need as many young, top draft picks as possible. But at the same time, the Knicks making the playoffs would give us Garden Games night after night and there's nothing better than that. Hell, look at the Nets last year. They made a surprise run to the playoffs and Kyrie/KD credited that success as why they decided to go there. Is my dumb brain thinking the Knicks would be able to attract free agents if these young guys make the playoffs? You bet your ass it is. 

Time to get ready for a run and make the not cool Mike Miller Coach of the Year.
