Boston vs New York- Knicks lead series 1-0, expect this series to go at least 6 games, possibly 7, huge win for Knicks who trailed by 20 to stage a massive comeback to steal a game in Boston. The Knicks have home court advantage now, Boston can win in NY, but depending on Porzingis, the Knicks can take this series. Despite a lackluster effort by KAT…
Minnesota vs Golden State- T Wolves have been waiting on the winner of the Rockets vs Warriors, they host Golden State tonight and will try to prevent what happened to Boston, Cleveland and OKC by winning Game 1 tonight at home. The Warriors needed 7 games to finally put away the Rockets, they are playing great basketball, Steve Kerr is getting to the heart of his rotations, we’re seeing Butler, Kuminga, Post , Looney and Moody all having playing time, this will definitely give them an edge over Minnesota who in my opinion doesn’t have as deep of a bench, but does have similar size like Houston with Gobert and Naz Reid, they also have a closer that Houston didn’t have in Anthony Edwards, so this will be a good series, Twolves made it to the Conference finals last year only to lose to Dallas.
