The New York Knicks, on paper, had a much better 2021-22 NBA season than the Detroit Pistons. In practice, expectations set a bar for how we measure a team’s success.

The Knicks had made a playoff appearance in 2020-21. They were hoping to replicate that success n 2021-22. With that in mind, their 37-win season was quite a disappointment.

With that said, they’ll be expected to take a step forward in 2022-23. The Pistons have had their fair shake at the Draft Lottery by now – it’s time to start winning games.
