He front row Del Madison did not look like this since the time of Muhammad Ali. Spike Lee, Lenny Kravitz, Ben Stiller, Timothee Chalamet, Bad Bunny … only the 'Know -how of Sinatra. 25 years ago the Knickerbockers They did not get into a conference final. And there they were to celebrate Sacred Vacas such as Walt Frazier and Bernard King pushing some Knicks led by Jalen Brunson, son of Rick, former team's former at the end of the 90s.
The Knicks, 25 years later
Under the baton of the base of the Wildcats Villanova burst the game in the second quarter with a partial of (35-17) and from there the Celtics were bleeding to accumulate 41 disadvantage points. With Jason Tatum out for a terrible injury to Achilles, Jaylen Brown threw the team on top. But I was very alone. Porzingis was squeezed by an aggressive virus that prevented him from breathing and Jrue Holiday was not the relentless defender of past nights. The monumental triumph (119-81) unleashed the euphoria of the swollen glamorous of the Big Apple, which filled the first row of Madison at a rate of $ 14,000.

The Green Hecatombe also coincided with the overwhelming performance of Thibodeau, who has squeezed his quintet against the criteria of rivals and specialists, exceeding all 35 minutes of play. However, they have reached a stellar point with townes making them great in the Madison area, Josh Hart betting the consistency that the Knicks needed and the regularity of a Mikal Bridges of Iron that adds more than 560 games in a row. In addition to other intangibles that contribute the powerful Anunoby, the intense Mitchell Robinson or a McBride that lifted the audience of their seats with a stratospheric cap. The Avinagrado 'Thibs' continues to make history in its own way and wants to take advantage of the hype of yours to fight for the ring.
The Knicks classification is as remarkable as the elimination of Celtics whose project is very questioned, which will force Brad Stevens, its general manager, to make transcendental decisions. JT's long duration injury requires looking for alternatives and the door opens to notable outputs. Porzingis and Holiday sound like transferable, Holford can leave it at 39 years and Joe Mazzulla will premiere its extension of the contract with a category ascent, to chief coach, and the mission of rebuilding the team.
Meanwhile, in New York they sharpen the knives to avenge the defeat of last year in the Madison in the seventh of semifinals against some paers who return to the final without making noise and squeezing the rivals with their physical basketball. No one squeezes more than those of Indiana, the rival who presses in the opposite field of the NBA. Rick Carlisle has hung the label contender (candidate) to their own while they continue to grow around the virtuous haliburton while subjecting the rivals with an army of athletes who fulfill their tasks as role players: You, Toppin, Turner, Mathurin, nasmith. And offensively indiana diversifies its high production With your game above the hoop, the handling of the extrapass to always find the open man and with his open field danger. A visit to the dentist for opposites. That explains how the Pacers have devastated some cavs (4-1) grown after their (4-0) against Miami. A mutant team that adapts to any game environment. It will be, therefore, an epic duel between those of Indianapolis and those of the Big Apple.
The Wolves' balance in the aggressiveness of OKC
On the other side of the painting, another legendary franchise has also fallen, Golden State, At the hands of one who is writing his own story, the Wolves. Minnesota gets back into the finals, like last year, when she was beaten by the Mavs of Doncic (4-1). This season we looks a more harmonious basketball with which he has bent some Warriors who could not count on Curry's aura (and points) in the final matches. The incorporation of Jimmy Butler returned competitiveness to those of the bay, which showed more consistency in gathering the ex Miami with a spicy Draymond Green. However, the lack of Curry and its offensive production was not covered by Buddy Hield and Kumina. Steve Kerr and Stephen must sit down to draw the immediate future of A franchise that still lives from the embers of the dynasty that achieved four rings.

Minnesotaled by a more mature Anthony Edwards on the court (the same cannot be said), boast of balance by defending your hoop well, With Gobert and Jaden McDaniels rowing in painting, and attack with versatility and patience that of the rival, With Julius Randle, Divicenzo, Naz Reid and Mike Conley alternating with the exuberance of 'Ant-Man'. It remains to know if they learned something from last year's defeat against Dallas and if Chris Finch can take shine from the team probably more compensated from the four that appear in the conference finals.
The Wolves will cross with the most laureate team of the season, Oklahoma City Thunder, who only lost 14 games in the regular seasonone nothing more before the rivals of the East. But OK's balance with Minnesota (2-2) opens the forecasts. Those of Mark Daigneault passed the roller in the seventh game against the Jokic Nuggets (125-93), which has managed too much to reach the decisive encounter of this series with a short template.
The Thunder have the leadership of one of the players of the year, Shai Gilgeous-Alxander, to which they add the versatility of their big men (Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein) and the determination of Jalen Williams and Alex Caruso. A very well refined combo by Daigneault, andThe coach of the year last season, with a bench with a lot of depth and a defense that is his most recognizable feature with great aggressiveness and many hands. The NBA will have its seventh different champion in the last seven years. Whene who wins.
