Analyst Predicts Which Teams Will Meet In Eastern conference finals.

Speculating about the NBA playoffs has officially begun, with the start of the competition rapidly approaching.

Our sample size is large enough to draw some inferences and assumptions, and even if some teams still need to get healthy before the postseason, they should still be able to accomplish their goals with the players they already have.

Sports analyst Craig Carton projected that the Eastern Conference Finals would include a meeting between the Boston Celtics and the New York Knicks.

More importantly, he thinks the Knicks have a real opportunity to surprise the Celtics and make it back to the NBA Finals for the first time in a long time.

Speaking on The Carton Show, he emphasized that this Knicks squad has been utterly merciless and hasn’t let up when leading a game for the first time in years.

“It’s going to be a Celtics-Knicks Eastern Conference Finals,” Carton said.

Furthermore, Mitchell Robinson, who missed the majority of the season due to injury, has returned as a top reinforcement.

Star power forward Julius Randle is still a need for the Knicks, and there have been mixed reports regarding his status and potential return date.

However, the Knicks should be a formidable force in a seven-game series against any opponent because of the play of Josh Hart, Donte DiVincenzo, and OG Anunoby, who anchor Tom Thibodeau’s outstanding defense, and Jalen Brunson, who leads the offense.
