Also I totally believe they’re trying to recreate a 2016 Cavs vs Warriors moment. That was peak basketball and everyone was rooting for Cavs to take down the villains of the league. I have no doubt the script will be for Knicks to win.
The only thing I can think of that explains Adam Silvers agenda for the OKC calls is that the Thunder have become the villains of the NBA and when Warriors had that role lots of people watched so it brings them money. That or it’s gambling related.
