I think Spurs would be a better matchup for NY but I think they'll be competitive with either. I wouldnt of thought that before playoffs but the supporting cast of Brunson is playing so well. Particularly Bridges but the others too. Thats what Pacers could do last year, be balanced. Most didn't think would be a close series either. Knicks are playing their best basketball at right time. If lines 5.5 games I'd take the over and 7 would be my guess.

The intensity of defense in general is night and day different between the conferences. There is very little ball pressure at all in the Eastern conference.
Really hope the Spurs take this series. No offense to any Thunder fans but OKC is just not an enjoyable team to watch. They're like the friend playing Madden PlayStation football who figures out the poorly-programed broken play and just keeps running it again and again. SGA is the most boring 30-ppg scorer ever.
Pretty telling that the MVP/finals MVP (SGA) etc can’t even reach the Top 10 in jersey sales in the NBA. Nobody likes OKC. Flopping on the offensive end and dirty on the defensive end.
Cavs appear to have their bags packed for Cancun already. Not a lot of effort from Hardin so far.
Yeah, I was going to say outside of the first 5 minutes they're playing like they've already given up.
What a complete waste of time the Eastern Conference playoffs have been.
Add in the night off tonight and they’ll be well rested. Still don’t think it matters unless there’s additional injuries in the West.
Hopefully the NBA expands soon just so the Timberwolves get moved to the east. the West is a murderers row these days.
This game is undoubtedly rigged
