So far, the Knicks are 1pt better than the Thunder.
BAF Clippers: Great Team. No Future.

If the Pacers pull this off maybe the Knicks and their fans can have a “we took the champs to 6 games” parade. Place a banner in MSG saying “we the real second place finisher!”

I’d be on board with this

Knicks are the second best team in the NBA.

If the Pacers win against the Thunder, who are deep, talented and well coached , then the Knicks will look even more stupid for firing Thibs. 100%.

It says the Knicks were only built to beat the Celtics and not the Pacers, which is what happened.

Absolutely nothing. New York was a good team. Let that be the end of it.

There would be no problem with the Knicks standing pat. The East is going to be wide open and they will be a contender.

4) The cap is going up
