Gavin Schall is joined by Locked On Thunder Host Rylan Stiles to explore whether the Knicks would have a realistic chance of toppling the defending champs.
The duo explores why the Thunder could be even more dominant next season, where the Knicks rank in the list of threats to OKC’s repeat hopes, and if New York’s defense and depth will allow them to compete in a hypothetical Finals Matchup between the two franchises.

Sounds like bro did not know about Knicks FA signings. Definitely increased depth that he didn’t seem to know about.
I mean idk if the Knicks are better team than the thunder or at least closer to them in terms of talent. I mean a new coach who could maximize their offense plus a better bench and who knows who will start against the thunder based on matchup I’m assuming Mitch starts in a potential finals matchup. Jalen vs shai obviously it’s shai, Mikal vs Dort mikal is better Og vs Jdub prolly Jdub by a lil bit kat vs Chet kat is better ihart vs Mitch prolly Mitch their bench is Cason Wallace , Caruso, Isiah Joe, Kendrick Willams and Aaron Willams Knicks bench Josh hart Jordan clarkson yabu deuce and hukporti and maybe the final roster spot assuming it’s Shamet. The Knicks on paper have more talent off the bench but I will give the thunder the edge as of rn. It’s really the Knicks offense vs okc defense. Not saying okc can’t score but their strength is defense I would say okc wins in 6 or 7 games
