Knicks Playoff Expectations REVEALED | CP The Fanchise on ESPN (Audio Podcast)
The New York Knicks delivered a historic blowout win over the Chicago Bulls, but the real conversation is what it means heading into the playoffs.
In this ESPN New York interview, CP “The Fanchise” breaks down:
Why the Bulls win “means nothing”… but still matters
Knicks reaching 50 wins for the 3rd straight season
Leon Rose’s impact in rebuilding the franchise
Why expectations are now NBA Finals or bust
Mike Brown’s adjustments vs the Thibs era
Karl-Anthony Towns’ role in playoff success
The Knicks’ inconsistency this season
Best and worst playoff matchups (Raptors, Sixers, Hawks)
The Knicks are no longer rebuilding—they’re EXPECTED to contend.
The question is… can they deliver when it matters most?

These clowns gonna get swept
🫡 Clyde Frazier should not be allowed to retire. 😭 He deserves a bronze statue outside MSG. Hopefully Dolan doesn’t hire the guy who did D. Wade. 😂
I’m sorry but Steve Mills & Scott Perry were horrible at building a foundation. Good guys but horrible executives. Perry running the Kings should be pure entertainment. 🍿 Leon Rose & Thibs did the impossible.
#3 sseed Knicks sounds right. Would prefer Toronto over Philly. Philly sounds like a six or seven game series. Facing Boston in the 2nd round will be a dog fight. Detroit holding the heads of Harden & Spyder in the ECF sounds about right.
I really like this team’s odds in the Finals BUT they’re gonna have to deal with physicality and KAT/Jalen’s co-existence issues.
My two favorite content creators. Two polished professionals! Appreciate you guys.
I still maintain that it was a mistake to fire Thibs. I prefer the consistency and continuity, personally.
Especially considering where we were before him and how quickly things can slide in this league.
But we shall see. Let's family show Go!
Do anyone truly understand the Knicks gave up 6 picks for one player that isn’t the missing piece to usher them into the finals? 😢Terrible!
Nepotism has been the problem in this organization ever since Brunson, Rick Brunson, Hart, West, Rose all got here together. They make it difficult for any other player (Randle first, now KAT) to shine. Because, Brunson is a great offensive player and wants to be the King of NY. Towns shining is a threat to Brunson being the King.
Because, it is “read and react” offense..it allows Brunson who has the ball the most to decide who gets the ball. He chooses to ice KAT out of the offense to maintain is position as the best player on the team.
We need to..at the minimum trade Hart and fire Rick..this will break up some of this Nepotism crap that has infested our Knicks!!
