Tricky. Before the playoffs, if you had told me it would be Spurs vs. Knicks, I would’ve said Spurs for sure, because they have the better core and some advantages over the Knicks (tall guards, Brunson’s limitations on D, KAT’s constant foul trouble). But the Knicks have looked much better in the playoffs than the regular season, they’re well rested, and have a deeper, more consistent bench. Now I think it’s a toss-up. Perhaps Knicks in 7, although I want the Spurs to win this thing.
I’m trying to see a path for Knicks to win, because I think the next 5-10 years is going to be owned by OKC and Spurs. I agree with your point about the bench. OKC had a deeper bench too. lol
