KNICKS are the 4th rated team to win 2027 Title at +650

[theriver55]

Despite their dominance, oddsmakers still have the Knicks behind the Spurs (+250), Thunder (+260) and Celtics (+550)

 

[theriver55]

Looks a bit high considering(in comparison to SA/OKC) the EAST is weaker than the West.

 

[stormtrooper8]

No repeat champions in 8 seasons

Odds themselves are pretty high

4th or 5th sounds right. That’s about what they were this year as how they ranked

 

[theriver55]

yeah good point no repeat champions in a bit in the association.

 

[ktollinche]

They went on a run. Team is nothing special. Spurs lost it more so, than the Knicks won it

 

[samsncharge99]

8 new champions in 8 years? or is it 9?

 

[Tanko]

I wonder if the Knicks feel a little disrespected by these odds?
I agree with them as they stand. As @ktollinche notes, they went on "a run" and Spurs crapped their pants.

Remember Oklahoma City game 7, two of their top players did not play

Spot on, the Spurs flat out choked under pressure.

Spurs in theory will rebound from this. No reason they shouldn't be in the mix for years to come, though they need to figure out how to utilize Fox properly

OKC and Spurs are the two best teams

Celtics may take a step forward with Tatum acclimated and if they can get better size depth.

Giannis may also go to Boston so we'll see

1st line of business release fox somehow or give him away

The last repeat champion was the Warriors in 2018. It is next to impossible to repeat in the NBA because everything has to break your way especially health. Not saying the Knicks can't do it but I wouldn't favor them at the same time because it's so hard to repeat and now they're the hunted.

nobody wins back to back, they basically had a perfect storm this season

Completely disappointed in his play. Turnovers galore. Shot like crap. Time to get someone better in there. He might be good trade bait.

Nobody wants that contract unfortunately. They should trade him but doing so is going to prove difficult not because he's a bad player but because they overpaid for him.

Good point on the pay.

Maybe 6.th man
