Knicks got a shot if Spurs and OKC wear each other out – 7 game series w OTs and some key injuries. Not hoping just saying.

It will be tough don’t get me wrong but I rather the Spurs than the Thunder. The Knicks haven’t lost to the Spurs all season ! I know Playoffs & esp Finals will be diff but we have more of a chance vs the spurs than the Thunder

Knicks to win it all… They will beat either SA or OKC in 7… But they gotta put the Cavs away first.

Players who couldn’t do nothin in international basketball… usually end up with no ring in NBA too…
in 2000s we had Iverson, Marbury…
Now Brunson, Haliburton…
