The Knicks were a REAL THREAT...they just choked (and I'm a Knick fan)
Charles Smith goes up strong and the story is possibly re-written

Outside of the Spurs, which coach did the Lakers go through (so far, I listed Riley, Daly, and Brown, 3 HOF's?...add Lenny Wilkens, which would make 4)

Rick Adelman (Bulls went through him too)
George Karl (not in their league)
Larry Brown (Bulls went through him too)
Mike D'Antoni (LOL)

Anyone saying the 2000's Western Conference was somehow HARDER than the 90's Eastern Conference is crazy
