We’re back to early 2000’s era where the western conference champs destroy the eastern conference champs. It’s a foregone conclusion.
Minnesota Indy is the finals the world wants

Are you talking about Indy or nyk? I'm confused a bit. I don't think the Knicks or indy match up well with either of those 3 teams. How confident are you in kat guarding jokic in a 7 game series?
Yeah I edited that. I trust KAT to guard Jokic just as well as he has guarded Jokic each time they've faced off in the past few years...and I trust Mitch to guard him even better. Especially with OG / Mikal / Hart / McBride taking away his supporting cast and how poorly their D matches up with our O.
Indy doesn't have the same size we do...but Denver doesn't have the depth to survive a series with the Pacers. I don't know if we do and we're much deeper than these Nuggets. Their defense swarms and exhausts you the way OKC does, but their offense has even more weapons than OKCs and Turner just bodied iHart last spring.
Minny would be fun either way just cause they're kinda the bizarro world version of the 2024 knicks, had we not gotten injured.
Ant - Brunson
Randle - Randle
Rudy - RobinHart
McD - OG
DDV - DDV
Reid - Hart
NAW - McBride
OKC is the tricky one, but we'd have a size advantage on them this time and though they have better depth, I do think we have the better top 4-6. While OKC vs Indy would just be crazy to watch as both teams have a lot in common, only with one more deadly defensively and the other more explosive offensively. Think Carlise could tip that one in the Pacers favor.

Ight ya can live and die on that hill. Well see how it goes
just debunking what you said. KAT guarded Jokic a ton that series and did well. Knicks can run a similar double big lineup (KAT/Mitch) that Minnesota did with KAT/Gobert too. Not out of this world to say the Knicks would beat the Nuggets. bronxknicksfan1 wrote:3ddman23 wrote:

Dude, Embiid took out Mitch last year and Brunson broke his arm. Donovan Mitchell may be out too, same goes for Steph.
No one wants to see anyone get hurt but it's a sad part about sports. Even if you win a chip, being fortunate plays a HUGE part for everyone.
He's still crying about the refs not changing the way they had been calling things for the final play of game 3 against the Pistons

Yea I gotta see it to believe. I'm taking the experience of a championship team with a 3 time mvp and a team that just won 60 plus games with the MVP and not a ton of weakness, over the other 2 eastern teams.

The Knicks could beat any of those West teams except OKC.
I agree with this. Out of all the West teams, OKC is the biggest threat for the Knicks. Hartenstein was also Brunson's screener the previous seasons and especially in the playoffs so during the regular season in their head to head he seems to sort of figure out Brunson. But then again that's the regular season.
I think I would rather the Nuggets because KAT and OG can disrupt Jokic and then KAT can make him work on the other end.

They absolutely can. OKC would be favorite over us and it'd be a toss up vs Minny...though like vs Indy, I'd favor us in a great series...but we are a brutal matchup for Denver, I'd love to face them. Would be fun watching Jokic make that kind of run...and I'd be very confident about our chances.

Let's see it all play out. He don't have gobert there to help him and Mitchell is a foul machine.

lol 4 years at 134m is a pretty good reason to keep playing I would say
