Who do you have for the Stanley Cup? Canes or Knights. After seeing the Knights systematically destroy the Avs that were supposed to win it all it's hard to pick against them. But the Canes have also been knocking on the door.

This is such a difficult one to predict because both teams are solid.

The Hurricanes have lost only 1 game in the playoffs this season. Their forechecking is about the best I watched this past season and in the playoffs. They snuff the life out of opponents with the press and create a lot chances because of this. They skate like they are going to war, I mean these cats are aggressive!

The Knights did not exactly have a great regular but they have turned it around quickly and I think the coaching change had a lot to do with it. They are a more experienced team than the Canes and are just as physical and to your point, nobody saw a sweep of the Avalanche in the conference final.

Omo this is tough but the Hurricanes look like they are ready to win it all. The combination of their superior forechecking, speed and physicality may just be too much for the Knights. The Knights have that experience, especially recent Championship experience in comparison though. Its a tough one but I will be watching for sure.

I don stand on your mandate like that

Who you got Spurs or Knicks?

I fancy the Spurs so much because they just beat the defending champ but Knicks seems to be on a scripted journey. It might just be written in the stars for the Knicks

@A40

You dey watch game 1?

Omo as I predicted, the Canes’s forecheck, especially in the neutral zone is forcing TO leading to scoring opportunities for them.

Game tied going into the 3rd period.

Tough game out there!

Knights score!!

4-3..

11th goal of the playoffs for B. Howden.

Both teams have scored from TOs

Tied 4-4..

Knights upset with the icing call..

Knight take the lead again…

What a game! A classic game 1 for sure!!

Who go beat that Golden Knights team go try. That team is some ruff ryders. The way they swept the Avs despite the regular season record

Game 3 they were 3 goals down and came back. Last night on the road 2 goals down they came back. That their werey coach Tortorella also plays a role.

Still think the Canes will make it a series but the Golden Knights are just ruff, rugged and raw

SA Spurs for sure, i can't stand the Knicks.

birdman:
A bad call no doubt. But still, yall blowing it out of proportion. And I apologize for touching Steph. But feel free to go find earlier videos of steph, when he started shooting lights out. If you touched him, it was a foul

Remember our debate about Isaiah Thomas years ago? Well, guess who is making sure IT is still eating and taken care of? The Celtics!

He has been hired by the Celtics as a scout..

We dey take care of our own. Make I no hear pim for your mouth again about this matter.

The Spurs look like they have been here before. Champaigne is on fire shooting the ball.

Knicks 48-55 Spurs
Half Time.

Julian Champagne shooting lights out.
Harper playing like a veteran yet again.
KAT bullying Wemby.
Brunson nursing a knee injury.

I remember when guys wanted KAT out of Minnesota while making excuses for Mr Bambi on Ice.

Fox again with poverty numbers. They should rename him to Brickla Fox.

A veteran playing like an slowpoke since the OKC games.

Mr Clutch for a reason

Knicks 105-95 Spurs
Full Time.

Jalen Brunson came clutch once again as the New York Knicks take Game 1.

I said it that na experience Knicks fit use chance these boys

Wemby 6/21. Oof

I talked about these spurs guards earlier. They take games off

I for one am happy to see Mike Brown in the limelight. Man paid his dues!

The Canes resurrected like prime Undertaker. Wow

And the Knights tied it. OT. This is crazy

SA Spurs for sure, i can't stand the Knicks.

Check your DM

Game 2 goes to the knicks 😭😭😭😭

Spurs lost again ke

I said it that this championship is written in the stars for Knicks.

I don't see how Spurs win 4 out of 5 potential games left

Spurs would lose the Finals out of inexperience. 9 seconds to go, Spurs have possession, scores are even, our MVP then decides to turn the ball over.

Ball turned over, 1 point down, 4 seconds to go, our MVP decides to try a midrange instead of going to the rim and asking for an alley hoop, where the ball would be thrown at an height only you can catch. The only reason you wont catch it is if you get fouled. Why are you an NBA player if you cant knock down at least 1 out of 2 FTs? Worst case scenario, OT and not an outright loss. You have a chance to try again.

The teams inexperience is showing especially with Wemby. He looks gassed out and that is probably why he heroes sitting at the baseline trying to Curry his way to a win. I'm shocked they have made adjustments since the OKC series where he wasn't even getting into the paint.

Can you win with a small guard as your best player?

Na this finals we go take answer that question
