San Antonio is in a tough race in the Western Conference. Analysts are starting to focus on the possible playoff outcomes. Analyst Shannon Sharpe recently made a big statement about the current playoff picture. His update affects how fans see San Antonio's chances of winning the championship.

The New York squad looks completely dominant after winning 10 straight games. They outscored their opponents by 225 total points during this historic stretch. No team in basketball history ever recorded a more lopsided score differential over a 10-game streak.

Media specialists believed the team that wins the Western Conference would have an easy time winning the championship this season.

That narrative is changing fast because of New York's sudden rise. Shannon Sharpe explained his new perspective on the Nightcap show. “Based on what I’ve seen with the Knicks, what we thought would be a foregone conclusion, the Western Conference winner, I ain’t so sure anymore,” Sharpe stated.

Shannon Sharpe says the Knicks can beat either OKC or the Spurs in the Finals:

The television host believes the team from New York can challenge any opponent. They are executing flawlessly on both ends of the floor right now. Sharpe expects them to bring maximum energy if they advance to the final round.

“The Knicks play like this. If the Knicks play like they played the last 10, 11 ball games, they can beat anybody in the West. That includes the Thunder or Spurs,” Sharpe added.

San Antonio fans remember the 1999 Finals matchup against New York very well. Our franchise has the ultimate defensive weapon to stop their hot shooting.

Wembanyama alters every single offensive plan near the rim. The Silver and Black possess the perfect combination of tools to quiet the media hype.
