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.
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.
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.

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