If Randle is healthy, the Knicks are going to be hell for the Cavs. Could see it going 7 easy. The Knicks match up well, and the Cavs lack of floor spacers upfront allows the Knicks bigs to play their game the way they like to play it.
Cavs are more talented at the top (although Brunson is HIM and can go toe-to-toe with Mitchell in the postseason), but the Knicks are deeper and have multiple guards that the Cavs have no answer for on the perimeter.
Will Brunson knock Mitchell out of the playoffs again, just like he did last year? For reference, when Dallas beat Utah in six games last spring in the West, Brunson averaged 27.8 PPG and shot 48.4% to Mitchell’s 25.5 PPG on 39.8% shooting.
