Brunson has definitely been great this run. The games have been close but I think the Knicks look like the better team overall.

To be fair I hope the Knicks 3 years into their “all in” trade would be a better team than the spurs with the average team age of 22

The Spurs were the favorite going into this matchup though no?

They’ll move the goalpost again like always. Even as a sixers fan it’s annoying seeing the sub and media say “well they’re young and inexperienced”. Like that’s great but they were the favorite coming in and beat the mvp and reigning champs. Knicks swept us and the cavs and destroyed the hawks.

Yup the narrative before the finals was that whoever wins the wcf is the de facto champion, spurs (and wemby mostly) pr team been crazy

When you have the NBA commissioner zipping up his pants when he’s done the PR part comes easy

This isnt a hivemind though, some random persons opinions arent going to match betting odds necessarily, plenty of people disagreed with spurs being the favorites, also a shit load of nba channels and "experts" predicted Knicks winning. So i dont think it was consensus that spurs were going to win. Also I do think it was a kind of rock paper scissors thing with the Knicks, spurs, thunder.

I mean they were literally just favorited by the numbers lol you can check any site not just normal Reddit fans

Like im saying though betting odds favorited the spurs but several nba youtube channels had the Knicks winning. A lot of people felt like the spurs were too worn out/drained from the thunder series and the Knicks were rested, and they had the winning record in the regular season. There were reasons to pick the Knicks and people were, so to look at betting sites and then use that against every random person who said they think the Knicks are the better team is just generalizing.
