I do lean OKC, but the only reason I lean OKC is because I actually do think it's a monkey off their back. I think they learned what it takes to win. You could say the same thing about Minnesota, though, because they I'm going to say the same thing about Minnesota. OK, so you're picking.

Like, tell me, where are you leaning? Look, these teams played last year in the conference semifinals. The Knicks were not healthy in that one. It's a very different Knicks team to Carl Anthony Towns and Mikael Bridges are on the team now. So it's a little bit different of a series. I'm very excited to see Jalen Brunson versus Andrew Nembhard. That's a key matchup.

Brunson was awesome last year against him. Very excited to see how the Knicks deal with the Pacers defense and aggression and point of attack. Obviously, the Knicks also switch a lot now because they did it in the Celtics series and they're probably going to do it against Indiana. How can Indiana beat that switching defense? These are the questions that are just like running through my head.

The thing that – I'm going to lean Indiana in six. And the reason I say Indiana in six is because we have seen the Knicks have inconsistent games. I have not seen the Pacers have an inconsistent game. They've had one in these playoffs or maybe two in these playoffs, one against Milwaukee, one against Cleveland.

New York is kind of on again, off again in the way that they've played some of these series. You think about Detroit. You think about Boston. play with their food a little bit more than Indiana does. And I don't think you can do that against the Pacers.

I think the Pacers will take advantage of that very, very quickly, like you said, Dave, with the pace and the way that they're just relentless, the way that they score. So I'm going to say Indiana in six. Indiana going to the finals for the first time since Reggie Miller, by the way. I think we were here. Wow. Zeta.

It wouldn't surprise any of us if the Knicks win this series, right? Oh, no, definitely not. We're guessing. No, absolutely not. Because I thought they would lose to the Boston Celtics. At this point, it's like they can shine the world again.
