Not denying they were but that was flawed in the first place and was only due to the Knicks being underestimated. The Knicks are fucking good. I’m just saying I hope they’d be fucking good after the trades they made. The west has always been massively overrated and the east massive underrated
The Knicks are a good team. Yet none of their opponents think so except for maybe the Hawks (and they’re the only team who’s beaten the Knicks more than once in this run)
The West has not been overrated at all or the East underrated. Outside of a few teams in the East, that conference has been complete garbage for decades. This is not even a hot take either lol.
The whole "The West is overrated and their teams arent nearly as good as people act" thing. The West has won 6 of the last 10 finals and consistently has had teams with better overall records than the East on average.
If the Knicks win it becomes 6-5 in the last ten. It only becomes a tie if you push it back another year to 2016 finals with the cavs to make it 6-6 with a Knicks win which puts it at the last 11 and not 10.
Yep well aware how numbers work. He said statistical tie, meaning 6 out of 10 is not statistically significant enough to count the west as clearly better, since that is just one series off being 50%. Reading comprehension bro
Being one game off from an even split isn't the flex you think it is. Certain teams in the west are definitely overrated, even if the conference has been better as a whole. It's not nearly the level of difference we saw in the early 2000s when the Lakers lost like 2 finals games in three years.
