It all starts tonight!
Western Conference: Oklahoma City Thunder (1) vs. Minnesota Timberwolves (6)
Game 1: Tuesday, May 20 at 8:30 PM ET (ESPN)
Regular-Season Series: Tied 2-2
Prediction: Thunder win the series 4-2.
OKC comes into this series with the best defense in the Association. The Timberwolves will need to rally off multiple great turnover free games, which we just don't foresee happening. It is worth mentioning that the Wolves do have a serious chance of winning this series, but our best educated prediction must of course be made.
Eastern Conference: New York Knicks (3) vs. Indiana Pacers (4)
Game 1: Wednesday, May 21 at 8:00 PM ET (ESPN)
Regular-Season Series: Knicks won 3–1
Prediction: Knicks win the series 4-1
Pace vs Pace, these two fierce tempo controlling teams are here for the same reason: Pace. But what happens when the Mecca hosts the Hali and his Pacers? You can bet that it will be fireworks on Wednesday, but nothing that Brunson and Coach Thibs won't be able to handle. This is Thibs chance to prove that he can get the job done, and all he has to do is beat the highest scoring playoff team.
Sports Vibes NBA Finals:
Oklahoma City Thunder (1st Seed, West) vs. New York Knicks (3rd Seed, East)
Season Series: Thunder 2-0
Prediction: Thunder in 5
The two Blue and Orange teams clash here, but it will be the Thunder that come out victorious. With none of the remaining teams having won a championship since 1976, The Thunder will be the team to do it. SGA, Chet and Jalen Williams plus a deep bench will be too much for the 'Bockers to overcome.
