Despite the fact the Heat easily knocked the Knicks out of the playoffs last season, Miami’s Chris Bosh said he thinks the Knicks will be a stiffer test for the defending champions this season.
“I just want to say — the freakin’ Knicks, man,” Bosh told ESPN.com Thursday. “I think they’re going to be a good team.
“Nobody’s really talking about them, and I don’t like it. They’re flying under the radar right now. I think the Knicks are going to be a very good team.”
After Miami’s successful run to the title with Bosh featured as the team’s center, the All-Star power forward said he has spent the summer preparing to be the team’s center this season.
“It’s becoming natural to me,” Bosh said. “I have a very unique opportunity to do something very special for myself and my team. I think all the time that you have to evolve and get better. This is me evolving as a player.”
