NY Knicks are in the finals.

[Morbius]

They've won 11 in a row, and 8 of them have been blowouts. They just swept Milwaukee and Cleveland. This is historic dominance. They can look forward to a week of rest before facing the winner of the west conference finals... and then get crushed by either Wemby and co. or the mighty Thunder.

But they can hang their collective hats on being the best in the East, right?

1. It was Philadelphia, not Milwaukee

And they will be the underdog in the finals but nobody is going to crush them.

2. Obviously...

you haven't watched any of the playoffs and aren't a Knicks fan.

I recced your post anyway because at least the title was accurate.

Maybe you haven't watched any basketball this year? Because guess what? The Knicks beat the Spurs during the regular season by 30 points or so and only lost to OKC by 1 or 2 in their only meeting.

3. You're right on both counts.

I haven't been able to watch the playoffs and I am not a Knicks fan. But I do follow the league and I am pretty sure the west conference finals will decide this year's winner. The regular season is not the playoffs. The Knicks are really, really good. As a Bulls fan, I am jealous. But the Thunder are loaded and Victor Wembanyama is a force the league hasn't seen in generations.

BTW I apologize for getting confused about the previous series for the Knicks.
