Knicks · 2026 New York Knicks = most dominant Postseason Team within All-Time NBA Playoffs History: (page 1)
NYKMentality@ 5/15/2026 9:17 AM
We're 8-2 overall with both losses coming by a combined 2 points (1 point each) while currently featuring the NBA's All-Time biggest Postseason/Playoffs Point Differential @ +19.40 (per game).
21 of these 24 teams went onto eventually win the NBA Championship (.875%).
You've literally gotta date back to the 1992 USA Dream Team in order to find a basketball team with a more dominant +/- Point-Differential than our current Playoffs Point-Differentials of +19.40.

I love how you felt you needed to qualify the 2 losses by a total of 2 points by doing the math for us
The Knicks run cares on soon! Next round will tell us even more!

I can’t stand the media which has had a deathwish for us for decades suddenly glazing our cornholes acting like we already won the championship.

NYMentality is not the media. We are halfway there. Thats it. Many in the fanbase are looking to promote the viablity of what is happening. Its a good thing that is happening.
Extrapolating the present into the future is a fools game. It just means we are statistically doing very well.

Glazing our cornholes?!?
In a vacuum that sounds delicious but by tone and context I’m suspecting it refers to something else

Caramel popcorn?

We are definitely ona run this year. Take nothing for granted. I don't fear CLE at all and DET has come back to earth in these playoffs. If we can keep playing the same way against either team we should be in the finals but, in the playoffs things can change real fast. We need to stay healthy and focused. I can't repeat that enough. 5+ decades is a long time to wait. We have only been this close a handful of time but, I think this team is one that can get us over the hump. Waiting anxiously for the ECF to begin.

They go small on KAT, Could potentially add the wrinkle of the JB & KAT pick and roll. Tougher to defend KAT's size advantage with a smaller defender with him rolling to the paint. Or ability to shoot over the smaller player on the POP.
