Game 7 is as good as it gets, and there's a 35% chance we will see the Spurs and the Knicks battle it out in a do-or-die contest to lift the Larry O'Brien trophy, per Novig.
The Spurs just survived a Game 7 vs. the Thunder in the Western Conference Finals. The Knicks, on the other hand, are coming off back-to-back sweeps in the East, which gives them a clear advantage in the fatigue department. And after taking Game 1 of the Finals on the road, New York's advantage is even more pronounced.
The Spurs have bounced back stronger after setbacks in this playoff run, so the Knicks cannot afford to let their feet of the gas. This will be a true battle.
The hype for this Finals series is legit because it's the Knicks' first trip to the Finals in 27 years. New York is buzzing. Wemby's ascension to championship-level athlete and the Spurs' resurgence are also big factors. If this series comes down to a decider, expect pandemonium. Let's hope we get to witness this Game 7!
