Man idc about none of that. The spurs would have still beat them as they did in the regular season.

Yeahhh they would’ve got packed up too. Might have got packed up by the spurs fully healthy too. When Alex Caruso gives you a 30+ point game in the playoffs, then you know you have a great team. Let’s be honest, pacers took them 7 last year. Denver took them 7 with no role players. I would’ve loved to see this okc team vs the 2024 Boston team. Neither team got to show how good they were because they didn’t get to defend their championship and get back to the finals.

@f@fola2tuffmean did you honestly see the pacers taking them to 7 last year? Did you not see they might have lost had Tyrese not got hurt? I don’t think this team is as good as people think. Maybe on paper. Maybe in the regular season.

The best team is the team who wins the championship. Period. OKC has 1 good player SGA. Chet Holmgrem is figured out and is above average at best.

Yes, they do have a lottery pick, but the moves they make will be heavily restricted because they are projected to be above the dreaded second apron. I don’t see them running it back without letting go some key players from this year

The best team in the NBA won period. The regular season doesn’t matter. It don’t matter how you get there. It’s about what you do when you are there & the Knicks delivered! Congratulations! Haters gonna hate!

Most moronic comment. In another universe OKC might have won. Too much watching Marvel Universe.

We don’t think the best team won the championship last season it took OKC 7 games last year to beat a 1 legged Haliburton & then he went out early in game 7 so the Pacers really the best team then

Yeah sure! OKC limited their flopping that’s why they lost. Their antics were finally exposed. Knicks are not floppers and Champions 🏆💍
