It’s much more about the risk of injury than them being tired going into this next round. Every game is a risk one of your players will be banged up, just way better to avoid it as a possibility 

It’s more with minor injuries/soreness purely from more matches probably swing the chances a couple of percent your way. Plus more major injuries could still occur.

They get three days off if it goes to seven games; the 31st-2nd. 

Outside of injuries. Both teams are young and should Bounce back with 4 days of recovery. If anything, the Knicks lose the grove they’re in by not playing.

Wear and tear is still real. Humans don’t recover perfectly.

Fox is banged up for the spurs and we’ve lost Ajay and most likely JDub, it’s rough out here right now

Wolves are better than any team Knicks have faced lol

Fox is playing through high ankle sprain. Harper has an abducter issue. Even sga has something going on with his finger/hand.

I imagine rest of guys are at a minimum fatigued…they have to go to 6 games and it’s a very physical series.

They are in a dog fight meanwhile Knicks get 9 days of rest

Fox and Harper playing through something

Fox and harper are playing through their injuries and are not 100%

better still to just win game 1, so

Don’t overestimate how much the universe cares about me.

I could imagine a Plexico Burress nightclub situation unfolding.

Just wrap them in bubble wrap and put them all inside a hyperbaric chamber until the Finals.

Can never be too careful.

Spurs and OKC have already burned each other down

question is whats gonna be left at the end

this is such an ideal scenario for the Knicks

I’d just be worried about them losing analytically again

Some people with still asterisk it

Thanks Magic

Literally just two seasons ago the East completely dominated the West in the Finals. Last season was supposed to be a Western domination and yet the Pacers still took them 7. Also your “goat” is 1-6 against 50 win teams in the playoffs. Stay delusional.
