That’s because the east is easier if the Knicks were in the west they would struggle to even make the playoffs.

Not true but go off. The west teams are underperforming compared to the East when you look at strength of schedule and point differential

nope lil buddy I can tell you just read other peoples social media all day because anyone that has actually watched basketball this season now’s the east has been just as good

Next level hate. Off topic from the Lakers and used their name to get more attention.
Move on. You’re still salty from your 2023 take when you believed Golden State was gonna win that series plus Steph is your favorite player now.

Dude is still talking about that series???????? what happened right after? Warriors won just as many games as the lakers did..
@malcolmhodnett8874

Hate? Lol it’s two sports analysts talking trash about their favorite teams. No hate required

Lakers have a problem , its called Lebron James

Why comparing a mid team like the lakers to a super team in the Knicks?
Dumb comparison.
@cjamazing420
January 7, 2025 at 12:17 pm
Plus East is terrible compared to the west… only Celtics, knicks, maybe 76ers if they can be fully healthy coming playoff time but bucks aren’t real contenders. Magic could make some noise.
@myleschance2002
January 7, 2025 at 12:09 pm
U can’t equate that anyway lmao ????????????he knows his knicks are fried I love them too but maybe next year they need a few more moves and experience to truly contend against Boston and the Cavs
@cjamazing420
January 7, 2025 at 12:20 pm
They don’t have money to make the moves…. they went all in on this squad. Jalen Brunson not consistent enough and lacking defense. He’s the only player that can’t play defense in that starting role ofc.

STEPHEN CAN REMAIN CONFIDENT UNTIL KAT LAYS AN EGG AGAIN IN THE PLAYOFFS.

The East is significantly weaker than the West, why does this comparison exist?
