The New York Knicks and the Miami Heat are facing off in the NBA playoffs. What else is new?
This is an iconic series. The Knicks and Heat met several times in the playoffs in the 90s and 00s. This is a throwback series, and longtime NBA fans love it.
The safe money is probably on the Heat. Anybody could walk away with this one, but if you’re a gambling person, you should put your money on Miami.
With that said, if the Knicks had a strong 3-and-D wing, they might be faring differently. R.J. Barrett has had some good performances in these playoffs, but he could be upgraded.
If the Knicks can upgrade him this summer, they could be favored over the Heat next year.
Could that upgrade be Paul George of the Los Angeles Clippers?
