Hawks (5) @ Knicks (4) - Playoffs Round 1 - Game 1 - SUNDAY May 23 - 7:00pm

[Knick4Real]

IN OTHER NEWS:

Clippers COLLAPSED at home against Dallas and looked like absolute dog sh*t. Their play was so lackadaisical it looks like they don't even want it.

Good.

Hope Leonard bolts and comes to us.

Kawhi played flat -- as if his mind was in San Diego and not on the game.

Nice move by Jabari

So we're gonna have near full capacity fans in Atlanta

Boston playing loosy goosy

The Hawks are playing with house money despite what Vegas says. All the pressure is on NY and Tom but we got this.

The Knicks are playing with house money, too, this is all gravy now. The pressure that will be on the Knicks the rest of the way is from their coach and themselves.

True, but the media won't see it like that. They've pushed the Knicks up to a certain level that if we go down, there will be a lot of fans across the league and the media who will make it seem like it was such a horrible loss. Which it won't be. Atlanta has earned the position they're in.

In regards to the regular season vs the Hawks, you can throw that out the window. The playoffs are a completely different animal.

Well thanks for repeating back to me my point about the media using their goal post moving from doubt to support as reason to criticize the Knicks unfairly. You waited long enough for it to slide off the quotes so it looks like you are making that point to me but you can't fool me.

That's my point. Of course it doesn't change the fact that the Knicks are playing with house money ànd their sliding opinions doesn't change anything. The Knicks have exceeded expectations and a first round loss to a team ahead of them on the rebuild timeline isn't a failure.

Leonard doesn't want to leave LA, but we are hoping for a disgruntled player.

Huh? There are some strange people around here. I don't even remember reading your original post. I'm one of the more original posters around here in terms of coming up with my own opinions. I don't need yours.

Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning?

I can't believe you seriously think I stole your ingenious opinion about the media. It wasn't exactly a groundbreaking take.

Wow, some f*cking touchy people around here. Funny thing was I was agreeing with you.

Lastly, I don't like about 90% of your takes. You're the last poster I would try to steal an idea from.

Ever notice how Durant tucks his right elbow in before he shoots?

Thompson with "the old-fashioned 3-point play"

Whether it's ingenious or not you are repeating back to me the point I made that was the original one that started this quote chain as if you are telling me something I don't know. Maybe you fooled yourself and didn't know it....you seem like the type that would.

Let my help you with any angst you feel from me making you aware of your folly....ignore my posts from now on and never reply to them. I don't get anything out of having to 'show' your posts to see what you want from me anyway. Ok buddy? Thanks bye.

Yeah Stupe, you tell him. This guy always does this. So annoying.

The Temps and Curtis Mayfield are my favourites from the pop parts of those years/world.

Woah. And a fragment on Move On Up as the game goes to commercials - serenditipty?

fwiw, I'm flabberghasted about the Delta 5 becoming an Apple ad in 2021.

And, even more about them being so grateful and happy to cash in. But you can never be too disilluded about public figures.

It’s still early and I’ll try to get some sleep before the game but lets **** go! Taste of playoffs after 8 long **** years. Home court, madison square garden, let’s get this one.

The NBA players nowadays are just unlikeable. If they ain't in your team there is no reason to like them.
