Knicks’ Chances Against the Spurs

Despite being underdogs, some believe the Knicks have a legitimate shot at taking down the Spurs. meistermatze isn’t buying it:

“I’m surprised that anybody gives the Knicks a realistic shot. Fatigue is the only real argument in favor of the Knicks, and even that could be cancelled out by rust on their part.” - meistermatze

Coaching Matchup

The Spurs’ coaching staff, led by Gregg Popovich, will look to outmaneuver the Knicks’ coaching staff. dirkfansince1998 brings up an interesting point about Mike Brown, former coach of the Sacramento Kings:

“Maybe the most accomplished coach to never win it all. Eight years with the Kings. Made the playoffs every single time. Including the legendary/controversial WCF against the Lakers in 2002.” - dirkfansince1998
