That’s why Knicks fans should tread lightly on boasting Okc/spurs would regularly beat the Cavs by 30. It’s not like they crushed a loaded Boston team.Cleveland needs to fire Atkinson. And they probably will.
His teams don’t compete on the big stage. Then he talks like an idiot. He says they won 2 games analytically.STFU!!
I agree. The Knicks are going to be heavy underdogs against either.
But there’s no denying that this Knicks team is playing with purpose.
Their defense is improved. The offense is really clicking now.
But two things can be true. The Knicks played great and the Cavs put up no resistance.
Ya KAT’s utilization has been very impressive and less relying on Brunson helps. They are definitely in a better spot than 12 months ago.

Jalen Brunson wasn’t taking any chances this time. As he walked up to grab his ECF MVP trophy, he immediately told Josh Hart to back up after what happened during the NBA Cup celebration last December 💀

Knicks sweep was impressive, a most impressive run to get to the finals! So half of the equation is made.
Almost at halftime of the OKC - SAS game 5. It seems pretty apparent that OKC's bench must be the end difference in this series, if they are to win. Bench is back to playing well and they have a double digit lead almost at halftime.
Conversely, Spurs really need to step up defensively and somehow make it tougher for the Thunder's offense. They're well on pace for 122+ points at this pace, and I don't think the Spurs can keep up with that.
we shall see...
Halftime
OKC 69
Spurs 58

I dont think the Spurs are gonna be heavy favorites over the knicks. OKC yeah. Spurs, idk. I think Vegas is going to be a little more cautious with such a young Spurs team (thats a little banged up) going up against a veteran Knicks team thats breaking some records. Will knicls be underdogs against Spurs, probably, but I cant see it being by much.
U aren't gonna have to worry about the spurs hypothetical.
Yeah I think OKC has figured them out. And or. Spurs lack of experience is showing. Too much youth still.
Fox's max contract kicks in next year and he's looked awful. Hopefully it's the ankle injury holding him back because that's looking like a pretty bad deal right now and he's going to take a ton of heat if (when) they lose this series.
Knicks will get smoked by whomever comes out the West, imo. It won’t be close. The East sucks like it has for the last decade plus.
