After going down 2-1 to the Atlanta Hawks in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs, not only did the New York Knicks bounce back, but they've been completely dominant on both sides of the basketball. That included the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs, earning a trip to the Eastern Conference Finals after sweeping the Philadelphia 76ers.

Entering the year, many viewed the Knicks as one of the favorites in the Eastern Conference, and they certainly look just like that right now. The Knicks are waiting to find out whether they'll take on the Detroit Pistons or the Cleveland Cavaliers, and will hopefully be waiting for a couple of days to try to get as much rest as possible.

If one thing has been certain recently, the Knicks are clicking on all cylinders, and a lot of that is due to New York's incredible fan base. In fact, it even frustrated some players on the 76ers roster, as the Madison Square Garden crowd traveled well for the Knicks.
