Kevin Durant said the Knicks "weren't cool anymore" and it’s been down hill since. Should’ve stayed his dumb ass with the Warriors. But they didn’t respect him either so ..

They're just too soft and if you have the personnel you just switch most everything against them, the Bucks are undermanned. We have the roster to play small and switch most of the matchups if we want to, a lot of what Siakam does could be deaded by OG and Precious on him should be something they do.
They will lose the rebounding battle by a landslide, this is also a series where Donte should get going, and Bojan if he's healthy. The Pacers defense is bad.

This is probably the Western conference finals right there. Antman looks like an amazing playoff performer, and he's raising KAT's level too. This will be a really good series, like the Barkley Suns vs. Robinson Spurs.

IF, and that's a big if, Kawhi can get right I still believe the clips have a chance.
Ant is can't miss right now. He is everything that is great about basketball.

There’s a very real albeit unlikely hypothetical world in which the Knicks face the Wolves in this year’s Final. OG gives us a fighting chance but idk how we match up with their bigs. Still I’d take them over Denver every day.

Funny enough the clippers are 2-0 without Kawhi and 0-2 with him. He doesn’t look very good right now and by the sounds of it he is probably done

...with $200m still owed him on his recently signed contract extension.
Why owners give contracts like this to guys clearly on the downside is a mystery to me. I know its "to win now" but it never works out that way. Add in the new tax apron and some teams are going to be in a world of hurt.
That said some lunatics here have suggested Embiid to the Knicks (smh).

I can't even think about all that.
I'm worried about Maxey going off in game 5 then if we don't close out game 6 in Philly this series goes 7.
That said I like our chances against the Wolves better than Denver. OG will take Ant to hell.

Glad we didn't do the PG trade, we would've been better yes for 2-3 years until PG fades out. With OG we have him for 5-7years. Knicks playing the long term sustainable winning

The Clippers-Mavs series is really fun to watch. I criticized Harden's playoff performances a lot in the past, but he has been playing really really well. Didn't think the Clippers had any chance at all with Kawhi basically out or a shell of himself.
Still if there isn't a miracle recovery by Kawhi I think the Mavs are going to take it. The Clippers put up one of the craziest shooting performances in the first half and lead 31 and need late game heroics by Harden to seal the win. Really a shame to see Kawhi's career unfold like that....just a couple years ago he was the best player in the league, clutch and everything but it seems his body just broke down. Really loved his game and personality and rooted for him a lot---sad.
Also props to Kyrie---for all his antics etc. he has been really good for the Mavs this season and no one in the NBA can guard him. He is absolutely incredible in his shot making ability. He basically saved the Mavs from being irrelevant and has them as a solid team.
The Wolves are really impressive. After the end of the super team era I have really enjoyed many playoff games and series. There is no telling who will come out as winner and many entertaining games. I'm actually not convinced the Nuggets are gonna come out of the west....despite being up 3-1 on the Lakers they really haven't impressed me much.
