How can you imply that they are a better team than the Nets and Raptors simply because of the fact that they have made better improvements? The Knicks have been making better improvements for over 6 years now and the Nets is still the better team. It's true every season you are getting better, just last season your Knicks put up quite a fight against the Nets and almost came out victorious. However, this is still the Nets' favorite team to play against, Jason Kidd's Nets is like 19-4 against the Knicks?
And how do you suppose they are a more focused team? that doesn't make any sense at all. Every team in the NBA who is pursuing the championship this season is focused, to suggest they are a more focused team is beyond me.

The Knicks should have already been a better defensive team since Isiah Thomas runs the team. This is the same guy who was part of "The Bad Boys", I mean you could teach your team to be more agressive. I don't think the Knicks will have trouble on offense this season with all these new pieces... but honestly it takes 100% team effort in order to play defense the way it should be played. If I'm not mistaken the Knicks gave up more than 100 points per game last season so I can't see them winning if that particular stat keeps going up.
