NBA Playoff Preview and Picks With Frank Isola

And I think if I'm the Knicks, it's been since 73. They haven't been to the final since 99. I don't think they've been to the conference final in 2000. That's a quarter of a century ago. I'm going for it if I'm the Knicks. I'm going to make a trade like that if I can get Kevin Durant.

So, you know, it's interesting, too, with the way Indiana, to me, had an underrated 50-win season. They kind of floated under the radar with that whole thing, with what they did. And I like the fact that Rick Carlisle, you know, maybe tended to be a little rigid over the years, but he's got this team, and they just go up and down the court, and they're a lot of fun to watch.

Now, they did lose the season series, and the one game they won, that was that Halliburton crazy four-point play that he had late in the game. I don't think enough people, though, have focused on Giannis because we talk so much about Kawhi missing games. Last year, Jimmy Butler didn't play in the playoffs. Well, neither did Giannis. And the year before, what was it?

He only played in three of the games. In fact, I think they lost every game that he had played against Miami the year before. So Giannis hasn't won a playoff game in three years. And the fact that now with Lillard out, he's getting more touches, but his shots are about the same. you know, they're basically, you know, he's initiating all the offense and it's worked out really well.

And they finished their season winning eight games in a row. So I, I know a lot of the Nick fans said I'd rather play the box than Detroit because, you know, if, you know, I just think, you know, Detroit worries me. I'd be worried about Giannis. You know, I agree. I think I agree from this standpoint, he's going to be the best player in the series. I think he's going to find a way to,

to get it done. And we listen, we don't, you know, they got great shooting around them and maybe who knows, maybe Lillard comes back by game five. I would still give them essentially another two weeks off. I get, you know, I know he's working toward that. So maybe we'll even see him and maybe they'll bring him back where he's coming off the bench to kind of slowly get him back into things.

Okay. And real quickly though, that's why I love like, well, if they don't get out, Giannis should want to be traded. How about Giannis playing a playoff game before we start feeling sorry for him? You know, he's got a whole, I love the guy. He's got to hold up his end of the bargain, playing a playoff game and maybe win one. That would help.
