Can they give Oklahoma City or San Antonio that kind of battle?

Should those be the two teams that the Western Conference Finals have as their two teams?

It'll be tough.

The size of Holmgren for Oklahoma City and Wenbenyama for San Antonio, they both just changed the game.

And Oklahoma City has another guy, this Isaiah Hartenstein, who also plays in that front line.

They're a tough tandem to go at.

I mean, almost...

almost impenetrable.

And that makes them, I think, very, very tough to beat.

And that's kind of the luxury they have, that they've got three starters coming off the bench, they've got bigs up front that both start and complement each other on that front line, and they've got the MVP.

And right now, until I see anything different,

it's Oklahoma City for me, and I don't even think the Knicks, with their firepower, can beat them.

Well, I think it does matter.

I think it does play a role.

And last year, the Knicks made the Eastern Conference Finals and went six games against the Pacers and just couldn't keep up.

And that was a great learning experience.

They basically brought back the same team, and they were better this year in the regular season.

I think they look more confident in the postseason and playing better, and everybody is in their sweet spot, like I was saying.

So I think when you have something to draw upon,

Past experience, you know, the Timberwolves are kind of like that too.
