So it’s official…it’s now impossible for the state of New York to win an NBA title this year because both the NY Knicks and Brooklyn Nets have been bounced from the playoffs.
While making it to the playoffs came as a pleasant surprise for Knicks fans, the Nets were a massive title favorite after signing both Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving in 2019 and then trading for James Harden earlier this season.
But the Nets were eliminated by the Bucks on Saturday to the tune of 115-111 in an overtime win.
