The NBA playoff picture is coming into focus and in only a matter of weeks, fans of the league will be seeing the best of the best competing against each other.
It’s a chance for excitement, surprises, and revenge.
On Friday’s episode of “The Carton Show,” Craig Carton said he is hoping the New York Knicks are faced with the Miami Heat in the opening round of the postseason.
He thinks this will be a great chance for the team to get revenge after Miami eliminated them from the playoffs last season.
Carton doesn’t seem afraid of the Heat, but will he end up regretting that?
“I’ve got revenge on my mind. “

Just about everyone counted the Heat out last year when the playoffs started.
After a rough and tumble year, they fought their way into the postseason via the Play-In Tournament and then consistently surprised opponents by continually winning.
They first took out the top-seeded Milwaukee Bucks and then pushed out the Knicks in the second round before ultimately beating the Boston Celtics and reaching the NBA Finals.
They are currently the seventh seed in the East, while the Knicks are right behind the Bucks and in contention for the second seed.
These two teams could meet up in the first round and there may be huge fireworks if they do.
The Knicks look stronger this year, with a few choice additions improving their roster and Jalen Brunson only getting better.
However, the Heat should not be taken lightly and definitely not written off.
They become a whole different team when they reach the playoffs and they could once again create a huge headache for the Knicks and other teams, no matter the odds.
Carton seems very confident that the Knicks could get their revenge, but could they get embarrassed instead?
