Garden Nemesis Reggie Miller is choosing the Knicks will take its first round playoff series Against the Pistons, but his prediction on Friday came with a warning of Charrá.
“This will be a fun series to see. I just hope the Knicks respect them and not overlook them.” Experience, for me, is important. And I know everyone says it, but No. 1, I don’t think this is an easy series for New York.
“I think they will end up winning this series. But this is what they can’t do: they can be overlooked Detroit just because of the experience factor.”
Miller obviously knows one or two things about the late game of the heroic playoffs, particularly against the Knicks in MSG, and the shooting in the Hall of Fame also called Jalen Brunson “likely the best clutch player in our game.”
Hey added that hey Wait for the all-stop shipowner The player of the NBA year will be appointed, an award won last year for Stephen Curry.
Your TNT Stan Van Gundy analyst also Wait for the Knicks to win A first round of the first round against the star Gad Cunningham and the Detroit Supply.
“Look, Detroit is good … I think this team has surprised everyone and it has been very, very good,” Gundy said. “But I am with Reggie, I think New York, not only in experience, is [Karl-Anthony] Cities. I think for me, you will go with Brunson, Towns and Gift Cunningham. I look at him and say: “Who are the five or six players of that series?” And I am probable to take New York four of the five or five main of the first six.
“New York has not defended the way you would expect a New York team during most of the year. But lately they have had a little better, they are getting healthy, and Og Anunoby is playing the best basketball he has. That team. That team. He obtained two great offensive players.
From there, Neith Analyst puts Much stock in the Knicks Finishing Winless (0-8) this season against Cleveland and Boston, the first two seeds in the east.
Even so, from Gundy he emphasized that “the realistic expectation” for the Knicks this year “would be to win in the first round and then play a competitive second round series” against the NBA defender champion Celtics, who faces Orlando in the first round.
“Look, that New York-Boston series would be crazy … that series would be out of the lists in terms of interest of fans,” said SVG. “I just don’t put much stock in [head-to-head records]. That said, I think Boston is the best team at this time. I think they have shown section 18-3 to finish the season, which are the team to win, not only in that series but in the east and probably in the League.
“But New York is very, very good. As we said with New York and Detroit, it will not be an easy series for Boston. New York can make it difficult … I think Boston’s defense is better.”
Miller would not do it completely Dismiss the possibilities of Knicks Or make an extended race after two consecutive exits of second round.
“You throw that 0-10 [record] Against all these other teams. It is totally different in the playoffs, “Miller emphasized, factoring in the two Knicks losses against West leader in Oklahoma City.” If you are lucky to get Detroit, you know who is waiting for them in the second round.
“We know what Boston’s record and the Knicks are in the last two seasons … but again, they are the playoffs. It’s the new season. Anything is possible.”
