They played like Oklahoma City's machine Saturday night. They have won ten straight playoff games; they are 11-2 in these playoffs, their only two losses by a combined two points.
But that is in the Least.
During the Cleveland series they have evolved as a living organism does: when Cleveland targeted Jalen Brunson he evolved into a point guard; Josh Hart became a dead-eye shooter; Karl-Anthony Towns morphed into Kevin Durant.
But that was against Cleveland.
They swept Philadelphia--when the "76ers" were fully healthy; when Philly had just beaten BEANS.
Do the "Knicks" have a reasonable chance to bring an NBA championship to Mecca for the first time since 1973? Do they have a realistic shot at defeating San Antonio or, in greater likelihood, Oklahoma City?
Magic Johnson says yes. I say no. I would be gobsmacked, delighted but befuddled, if the "Knicks" took down the Rustless Thunder Bolts.
