- THE NEW YORK KNICKS HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED FROM CHAMPIONSHIP CONTENTION
With a tough game 7 loss to the Pacers today the Knicks have been eliminated. Here's how their offseason is shaping up.
Contracts
Draft Picks
1st Round
2nd Round
Outlook
The Knicks had a crazy amount of injuries this season with OG, Brunson, Robinson, Randle, Hart, and Bogdanovic all dealing with injuries at some point. The debate about Thibs regular season coaching style will likely come up again given the numerous injuries. Whether it's actually a problem or not, the front office doesn't seem concerned as it seems he will be getting offered an extension.
New York will have the 24th, 25th, and 38th pick in the draft this year and still have all their own first round picks through 2030. They have a solid amount of assets to use if they want to make a trade but the main attention for the offseason will be making sure they retain OG since he has a player option and will likely be looking for near max money. Though they seem likely to keep him given they can match since they got bird rights by trading for him. Given the number of injuries and still making it to game 7 of the semis the team will likely run it back without any major changes and see how far they can get with a healthy team.

Really thought Pacers would take the last game with him out but the lack of defense is just too much if Tyrese isn’t aggressive.
If Knicks do advance hopefully OG is healthy for the conference finals.

Jayson Tatum and Al Horford came up big for the Celtics against a shorthanded but scrappy opponent.

Ant should play a lot better with Conley bringing up the ball and running the offense. Still think the Nuggets made the adjustments they needed and at this point are just the better team so should close out.

Was shocked when they were acting like it was crazy AG had the game he had. He shot nearly 40% from 3 last playoffs (18/46) and he’s a career 37% shooter in the playoffs.

- The Nuggets got smacked in the mouth at home. Tonight they returned the favor in the Twin Cities.
Despite a mediocre game 1 and an abysmal game 2, the Nuggets arrived at the Target center on a mission to silence both the Minnesota Crowd and all chatter about a sweep. Beating the Wolves by 27, the Nuggets controlled this game from early on, determined to set the tone in Minnesota. Between the stabilized play of Murray and Jokic and some clear adjustments from Coach Malone, this series clearly still has the potential to be the all-out slugfest that everyone anticipated at the outset.
Go Nuggets!
