The NBA playoff field is officially set.
After the play-in games wrap up, every first-round matchup will be decided.
As tends to be the case in other seasons, a few teams were expected to be at the top of their respective conferences, and others finished in a surprising manner.
One team that surprised the majority of NBA fans and analysts was the New York Knicks.
The Knicks have been in the playoffs in recent years, but there is a growing sense that there is something different about this year’s roster.
They finished the regular season with the second-best record in the conference, and if their recent trends continue, they could be a tough out down the stretch.
Michelle Beadle recently appeared on Mad Dog Sports Radio, where she highlighted one of the most important aspects of this Knicks team.
“They’re confident as hell,” Beadle said.

She believes the Knicks have what it takes to go on a deep playoff run, mainly due to the fact that they are so confident.
This team has a few young players who have stuck out during the year, including Jalen Brunson, who has started to tap into his superstar potential.
Brunson is certainly the heart and soul of this team, but what has made them so good is their consistency up and down the roster.
They can find scoring from several players, so even if Brunson has an off-night shooting, the Knicks are confident enough to embody the “next man up” approach.
