NBA Eastern Conference: Milwaukee Bucks and New York Knicks fighting for the #8 seed...

NBA Playoffs start April 28th and the playoff race in the Eastern Conference is starting to turn the corner headed for the home stretch. A glimpse into the playoff picture in the Eastern Conference where the Milwaukee Bucks and New York Knicks are currently fighting for the #8 seed.

New York Knicks currently have possession of the #8 seed but the Bucks are primed to make a playoff run. The acquisition of Monta Ellis gives the Bucks one of the most talented back courts in the NBA. Brandon Jennings averaging 18.7 pts. 5.6 apg. and 3.4 rpg are all above his career season averages. Milwaukee Bucks offense is explosive currently ranked#7 in the NBA at 98.1 ppg and #3 in assist at 23.2 apg.

Milwaukee Bucks are deep at every position on the court. Drew Gooden's recent interior play has presented an inside presence giving the Bucks head office enough confidence to trade the oft-injured Andrew Bogut for Monta Ellis. Bucks major problem is on the defense. The Bucks allow 98.3 ppg a -0.2 offense to defense differential in points. Forward Luc Richard Mbah a Moute is finally healthy and the addition of Center Ekpe Udoh should help the defense immensely. Bucks roster is mostly shaped by spare parts  (Mike Dunleavy, Carlos Delfino and Ersan Ilyasova) keeping the engine running but that engine is running pretty smoove right now.


New York Knicks hold the final playoff spot but this has been a disappointing season for the Knickerbockers. Carmelo Anthony and Amare' Stoudemire have been stuck in a funk all season long. Pundits place the blame on Mike D'Antoni saying his coaching style did not fit the team yet in the same breathe they say Jeremy Lin could be like Steve Nash. Last time I checked Amare' Stoudemire had his best career seasons while playing for D'Antoni in Phoenix w/ Nash at the point. D'Antoni was also the coach of the Knicks last year when STATS arrived and produced New York Knicks franchise scoring records. With Amare' broken and Carmelo growing tired of an offense that did not feature his style of play D'Antoni quit, resigned and was eventually fired at the same meeting.

Knicks now have a head coach whose X's and O's feature the strengths of Carmelo Anthony. Mike Woodson the infamous creator of the Iso-Joe offense when coaching the Atlanta Hawks now posses one of the best Iso players in the NBA. Mike Woodson is a tough defensive minded coach who will keep a emphasis on the defensive end of the basketball court and allow Tyson Chandler to control the defensive box. Issue is can the Knicks grasp Mike Woodsons defensive adjustments before the Bucks knock them out of position.
