For a lot of people that think the New York Knicks want Giannis or are going to get Giannis, I think he pretty much threw cold water on that.

Not that it couldn't happen, but they feel very comfortable with the 12 dudes they got.

This is the team.

Because if you look at the East...

Forget about San Antonio and Oklahoma City for a minute because that's going to be a beast, whichever one of those two teams.

And I think they're the only two teams right now that can really lay claim to being good enough to come out of the West.

And even though the Spurs have beaten the Thunder three straight times in like a 10-day span.

Right.

You've got to beat the champs to be the champs in the postseason.

So we'll get to that in a minute.

I meant it.

Detroit's the only team.

You're borrowing a major collapse.

And I'll give the Celtics a lot of credit.

They're playing great basketball without Tatum.

They're like 14 games over 500, something like that.

So I give the Celtics a lot of credit.

But the Celtics cannot beat the Knicks in seven.

The Pacers cannot beat the Knicks in seven.

And they're obviously a lottery team this year anyway.
