ESPN is setting up the narrative for the NBA when the league Walker Street the win for New York like their orchestra and the win for OKC against the Spurs that’s why we only had four points the last game. They told him to stop he was going win.

Only in the East the 1 and 2 seeds lose to the 7th and 8th seeds 😆. The West the 1st and 2nd are going at each other. I really wanted the Knicks to face Detroit to see , because Pistons stomped them. That’s why a lot of people have doubts, if they beat them there would be no questions .

If The Knick had a easy path, let’s not forget Oklahoma played the Phoenix Suns and swept them. No problem. They played the Los Angeles Lakers with a half injured Austin Reeves and no Luka Dončić swept them. San Antonio has been a horrible team for 5+ years. They just became a good team this season. They played the Portland Trailblazers light work. Minnesota was pretty decent competition, but in that series there was two games that the Spurs the spanked them by halftime. The teams that got the best competitive series the Detroit Pistons and the Cleveland Cavaliers both teams needed seven games to get out the first round then both teams needed seven games to determine the winner.

If you want to say okc or the spurs had an easy 1st and 2nd round, cool !! But they’re now facing each other as the 2 best teams in the nba. The Knicks haven’t played anyone remotely close to either of those teams. I’m calling a spade a spade. The Knicks will finally go up against real competition in the finals. Okc or spurs will be battle tested after who ever comes out between them. Does this mean the Knicks can’t win, no ! But their biggest and only test in this post season lies ahead next round.

When it comes to the Knicks the goal post is always moved… examples hawks over the Knicks then it was Philly over the Knicks and last it was Cleveland over the Knicks..

Hali made the most 3’s in the game of either team. Pacer bench outscored there bench 42-20. Every game of that series the team that won the bench scoring won the game. SGA shot 8/27 JDub shot 7/20. Pacers were winning the title of Hali stays healthy.
