Knicks playing at an unbelievably high level now but beating the defending champs still will be a very tall order.

However the nba and officials will definitely want the biggest market franchise to win over one of smallest markets, which leads the caw to predict the Knicks in 6 over okc, closing out at the Garden

Game 1 okc wins
Gm 2 NYK wins
Gm3 NYK wins
GM4 NYK wins
GM 5 OKC wins

Game 6 NYK wraps up their first title since 1972 and a nyc teams first title since 2011

It’s not even so much hope I don’t
Mind okc but the Knicks are a buzz saw right now and I think the refs will do what it takes to help them win against anyone in the west not named the lakers , but I don’t see the lakers making it to the finals so that’s that

I don't mind OKC. But it would be cool if Jose gets a ring.

Indiana gave them everything they could handle. No sure thing OKC gets past SA.

Its way too early to pencil anyone in. OKC may not even make it. Lots of ball.


And regardless how game 1 (or 2 for that matter) goes games 3/4 can tie it up and then 3 to win 2. And if anyone steals an away game then it gets tense.

Even the OKC/LAL series. Lakers are playing with house money and can do some unpredictable radical stuff you can’t plan for. You just never know. JDub is still out as well.

No matter the scores tonight its only game 1. Teams will make adjustments and after 3-4 games you got what you got. Then its just execution.

This is assuming a lot. Still a whole lotta ball to play. Pistons blew the Knicks out twice this year and won all 3 games. They better hope they don’t have to play Detroit if they’re gonna matchup with OKC.

Stop with this madness. We had an entire era with the Pistons and Spurs running things. With no huge stars on either team.

That only makes sense for the other playoff rounds. The NBA rigging a Knicks finals victory over a small market team isn't going to bring more viewers to the offseason.

I hope you are right, but OKC is a huge obstacle for any team.
