The New York Knicks are clinging on to dear life as they hope to prevent being sent home in the NBA playoffs on Friday in their first round series against the Atlanta Hawks.
Heading into Wednesday’s possible series-ending contest, the Knicks are down 3-1 in the series, giving some fans a reason to look toward the future of Tom Thibodeau’s squad. One player that fans in New York will be watching closely — with the hope of him re-signing — is Derrick Rose.
