Knicks Rivals Gunning for Reigning Champs!

The confetti has barely settled, the championship parade floats are still being put away, and the New York Knicks are basking in the glory of their hard-fought victory. Madison Square Garden is still buzzing, and the city that never sleeps is ready to celebrate all summer. But while the Knicks enjoy their well-deserved moment in the sun, the rest of the Eastern Conference isn't exactly sending congratulatory baskets of fruit.

No, the East is seething. Teams that felt they were just a bounce or a call away from their own glory are now sharpening their claws, re-evaluating their rosters, and looking for any advantage they can find to dethrone the reigning champions.

According to NY Post Sports, the Knicks' path to repeating as champions is going to be anything but a cakewalk. Their rivals aren't just accepting defeat; they're using it as fuel. Every general manager, every coach, and every star player in the East is already strategizing, looking for weaknesses to exploit and ways to elevate their own game.
