Gavin Schall is joined by Locked On Thunder Host Rylan Stiles to explore whether the Knicks would have a realistic chance of toppling the defending champs.

The duo explores why the Thunder could be even more dominant next season, where the Knicks rank in the list of threats to OKC's repeat hopes, and if New York's defense and depth will allow them to compete in a hypothetical Finals Matchup between the two franchises.
