The wait is finally over.
The San Antonio Spurs, who knocked off the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday, will host the New York Knicks in Game 1 of the NBA Finals on June 3. Tipoff is at 8:30 p.m.
The Knicks have had a lot of time to recover from bumps and bruises. They've been idle since ousting the Cleveland Cavaliers in a four-game sweep in series that ended May 25.
But that doesn't mean the Knicks will come in healthy. Their star center Mitchell Robinson broke the pinky on his right hand and underwent surgery to repair it. Reports say he plans on playing with a protective brace.
The Knicks will need all the big guys they can find to stop San Antonio franchise center Victor Wembanyama
The Knicks went 1-1 against the Spurs this year. The Knicks won 114-89 on March 1, but fell to the Spurs 134-132 on New Year’s Eve.
The Knicks were last in the NBA Finals in 1999 where they lost to the Spurs.
The Knicks are the hottest team in the NBA, having not lost since Game 3 of the first round series against the Atlanta Hawks. But the West is a different world. The Spurs are the better team and have homecourt. It should go six or seven, but the Spurs will win the series. We'll say Spurs in six.
