The NBA is surging toward the Playoffs and there is no doubt, it's not who was good in January. It's who is good in March and April. And right now that is the New York Knicks. The Knicks have won nine straight games and are approaching a month since their last loss. This week, they demolished four key opponents, including the defending Eastern Conference Champion Boston Celtics. Twice (one in double overtime on the road, that's clutch). Include the Miami Heat and Brooklyn Nets and the Knickerbockers are pointed the right direction. Nobody has stepped up more than forward Julius Randle. For the week, Randle averaged 29.5 Points Per Game, then throw in 8.3 rebounds and 4.3 assists. No, not averaging a Triple Double but real stats contributing to major wins. The key to the Knicks is balance, but every team needs a leader and Randle fits the bill. For a potential title and definitely for the Longhorndave Sportsman of the Week!
