NBA: Knicks defying expectations

All the signs pointed to the 2009/10 NBA season being a miserable one for the New York Knicks. With all the talk about the 2010 free agent crop and the possibility of tempting LeBron James to New York, it seemed as though everyone in the Big Apple was just waiting for next year.

And the Knicks did little to make people think otherwise with their early season play, falling to 1-9.

But there has been a mini revival of late with Mike D'Antoni's team winning their last four and five of the previous six. The current streak has hauled the Knicks to 8-15 and a playoff spot suddenly seems an achievable target.

And with upcoming games against Charlotte, Chicago and the Los Angeles Clippers, the Knicks could improve on that record too.

If they keep up their recent form, they might just surprise a few people this year and head into a potentially-monstrous summer on a high.
