Malik and Tim were nowhere to be found during that Knicks series last season. Schröder hit one big shot. If Duncan, Dannis, Kevin, and Caris go silent in the first round, it will be par for the course. We also lost Beef Stew for the series in the 2nd quarter of Game #1. So you can throw him there along with Duren's growth, Cade's growth, etc. You can also throw in that this team has playoff experience, where last year's team didn't. They will also have homecourt advantage over a play in team as well. Yes, they are better equipped and prepared for the playoffs then last year.
What? First seed for a reason. Duren going from just a guy to an all star is a big deal, more than makes up for slightly downgrading from Malik Beasley to Duncan Robinson. They are a better defensive team than last season.

I believe you are wrong… having said that do we need consistency? Yeah, I'll give you that.
So i guess he didn't see Malik flat out miss everything in that Knicks series..
Like dawg, if you don't watch.. don't talk about it
