Overall, Oklahoma City and San Antonio are the only other playoff teams with a double-digit positive net rating, and that’s even after they’ve spent the last four games smashing each other’s heads in. The Thunder had a plus-16.9 net rating against the Lakers and plus-18.1 against the Suns; the Spurs were plus-12.9 against Portland and plus-15.9 against Minnesota, even with Victor Wembanyama missing time in both series. Because of that, it’s fair to say that the Knicks should be an underdog in the NBA Finals against either team. The Knicks wouldn’t have home-court advantage and are guaranteed to be facing one of the two best regular-season teams, not to mention one of the two best players. This is far, far better opposition than New York has seen so far in the playoffs.
