Not unless Jeremy Lin magically starts hitting 28 foot three pointers again and scoring 25+ routinely. The Knicks were playing at a statistically unsustainable level. Now that they have run back to the mean (as they were bound to), things like turnovers actually matter.

Wait, so the Knicks don’t want to see Orlando/Boston/Indiana, but they do want to see arguably the two best teams in basketball? I’m pretty sure the Knicks would be absolutely THRILLED if they somehow swam out of the 7/8 spot. Nobody wants to play Miami or Chicago. If the Knicks play Miami or Chicago in round one, that series isn’t going more than five games at best.

are the Knicks a better team without Carmelo and/or Amare?

They still match up favorably with both those teams. It is Orlando, Boston and Indiana that the Knicks don’t want to see.

Remember 2 weeks ago, when the media was labeling the Knicks as serious contenders, threats to the Heat/Bulls even, and Jeremy Lin the greatest PG in NBA history? I guess it turns out a sample size of 5 games wasn’t enough to make such bold predictions! Lol.
