Nothing beats a pleasant surprise. Think of anything you love. Your favorite meal, a trip – anything. Wouldn’t it be even better if it came as a surprise? NBA teams love a surprisingly successful season.
Every team comes into the season with expectations. If they surpass them, they’ll be ecstatic. With that in mind, the New York Knicks must be over the moon.
On the other hand, the Toronto Raptors had realistic expectations for success this season. They came up short in their first-round matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers in last year’s playoffs, then weren’t motivated to trade for Kevin Durant in the offseason, and here they are now — a team that failed to even make it out of the play-in tournament.
This Knicks team has been better than expected in 2022-23. Despite Julius Randle playing injured, they managed to eliminate the Cleveland Cavaliers in just five games in their first-round series.
