For the second time in the 21st century, it's exciting to be a New York Knicks fan. Currently occupying the 4th seed in the Eastern Conference, the Knicks have greatly exceeded expectations this year on the back of a stellar defense. Furthermore, the Knicks have gotten a career year out of star power forward Julius Randle, whose season averages of...
Remember the saying, Defense Wins Championships. It's a cliche for a reason.

Despite being in 17th place with 26 points, Brighton has been one of the more entertaining teams to watch this season. Usually, a smaller club like Brighton would enter the league and try to avoid relegation by playing defensive football, but Brighton is the exact opposite. Brighton usually plays three in the back and does not follow the same...

The Eastern Conference has had its up and downs when it comes to talent.
