East finals vibes in December?
Potential stories abound in all games: Knicks Cavaliers game has potential remake of last year Eastern Conference Finals with injuries dooming the strongest teams. The last of the shows is Rockets vs Lakers which re fires the LeBron vs Kevin Durant. In Spurs vs Thunder, the match incorporates Jonathan Schwartz in the Victor Wembanyama and pays tribute to the verge winner vibes of the OKC. The game of the Mavs and the Warriors features the rookie superstar Cooper Flagg and the long standing history of Stephen Curry. There will definitely be significant stakes and physical fireworks in a Timber wolves Nuggets game considering the fact that the teams have not seen each other in the playoffs in the recent past.
