We’ve waited a long time, Knicks fans — we’re finally heading back to the NBA Finals. Our last appearance was in 1999. On Monday, the New York Knicks, still riding a hot streak, swept the Cleveland Cavaliers, beating them by 37 points. The Knicks enter the Finals with a +271 point differential. They’ve won 11 straight playoff games and are having the best stretch of any team in NBA history. These aren’t close contests — they’re complete blowouts. Regarding the West, no, the idea that whoever wins the Western Conference Finals is this year’s champion is no longer valid. The Knicks are healthy, while the OKC Thunder and San Antonio Spurs are dealing with injuries, and, as you’d expect, they look tired.
President Trump is a Knicks fan, and he said yesterday that he’s seriously considering attending the finals. He wanted to attend an Eastern Conference Finals game, but the Knicks won that series in four games.
.@POTUS says he "was going to go" to Game 5 at Madison Square Garden but the @nyknicks "closed it out very quickly" in a sweep.

Enjoy the game, Mr. President. Some friends were saying it would be hilarious if New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart visited Trump in his suite at the Garden. No doubt, Trump would like to sit courtside, but we know why he can’t.
Doubtful, as I don’t think coach John Harbaugh would be keen on it, but it’s a funny thought.
Oh, and the Left would have another meltdown again.
