Brandin Podziemski Throws Shade at Knicks Before Pacers-Thunder Finals

However, NBA fans might have lucked out by the Pacers beating the Knicks. Even if the Thunder are heavy favorites to take down the Pacers in the NBA Finals, the Knicks could have been an even more lopsided matchup for Oklahoma City. Golden State Warriors guard Brandin Podziemski recently threw some shade at New York, saying they would have gotten swept by Oklahoma City.

"I'm glad it was the Pacers, not the Knicks, because I feel like it if it was the Knicks, it would have been a sweep," Podziemski said. "Just because I don't think the Knicks had enough to compete with OKC. Both offensively and defensively."

Of course, it has been proven that not many teams are capable of keeping up with the Thunder on both ends of the court, and the Knicks certainly would not have been an exception. Podziemski argues that the Pacers have a more balanced attack that can potentially keep up with Oklahoma City, while the Thunder would have been able to stop Jalen Brunson and New York.
