Are we at risk of a 3rd straight underwhelming NBA finals?

Underwhelming for the casuals maybe.

If you hate watching good basketball and enjoy tweeting about "star" players you never watch, probably pretty underwhelming.

If you actually like basketball, it seems good no matter what.

OKC is def about to cake-walk their way to a Championship. Neither the Knicks or Pacers stand a chance.

It could be Minnesota vs. NY after they made the big trade with each other during the summer.

Knicks/Warriors or Knicks/OKC would be great

Knicks vs. Nuggets for the vibes.

And Game 1 at MSG.

The Knicks in the Finals would be anything but underwhelming

OKC would absolutely steamroll Indiana. We're talking all-time-level Finals dominance. The Knicks would do better, but I don't expect a close series there either. OKC is too good and too deep. Those are the only two Finals matchups I can realistically see right now, so I get what OP is saying. I think ultimately it's the Thunder over the Knicks in 5.

I don't think we're going to see competitive Conference Finals either. I expect the Knicks to handle Indiana, ditto OKC over Minnesota or Golden State.

OKC would absolutely wreck them, though it would be funny to see the Pacers get a dose of their own medicine

With that being said, I wouldn't hate CLE either. I genuinely like both teams.

They have to beat the Nuggets first

So many people have been programmed by ESPN to think if the Celtics/Lakers aren’t in the Finals that it must suck.

Casuals are outting themselves.

Knicks vs OKC and Knicks vs Wolves would be epic. As long as all teams are healthy of course

durden_tyler · Post #38 » by **durden_tyler** » Tue May 13, 2025 3:09 am

Knicks vs Wolves would be the best for me.

OKC vs Knicks/Pacers is not that bad.Both New York and Indiana have a punchers' chance considering they'll be running in fumes and inspired when they get to the championship round.
