Fat Joe Thinks The New York Knicks Will Make It To The Playoffs This Year

Fat Joe thinks the New York Knicks will lean back into the playoffs this year.

The rapper told TMZ the Knicks he thinks they now have what it takes to make it all the way up to the Eastern Conference Finals.

“Man I love what we doing with the Knicks, I love what the Warriors did even more, but I love what the Knicks are doing and I think we going third round,” Fat Joe said. “I predict third round of the East, we’ll be playing Cleveland.”

Fat Joe went on to praise the team’s offseason moves of adding Derrick Rose, Joakim Noah, Brandon Jennings and Courtney Lee. The “What’s Luv?” rapper added that the signing of Lee is underrated and they now, at least on paper, appear to have a winning team again.

“We got a crew!” Fat Joe exclaimed.

Knicks fans like Fat Joe have been anxious to see their beloved team return to NBA relevancy. The last time the team won an NBA Championship was in 1973.

Playoff basketball in Madison Square Garden hasn’t been seen since 2013 where they reached the second round before losing to the Indiana Pacers. The team has finished with a sub .500 record since, including ending the 2015-2016 season 32-50.
