99 was so long ago that the 90s aren't even retro anymore. we passed that and now we're onto 2000s retro. the 90s are just old lol

Shooters + Rim Protection + Depth + Superstar PG. That's the OKC Thunder.

This is a championship squad. If Knicks get past the Pacers, I don't think they have the horses to keep up with this.

Be better!!!!!!

Randle never wanted to be traded to Minnesota. I will always have respect for him because despite his flaws as a human being he wanted to be a Knick.

Except he decided to sit out the playoffs, lets his energy come and go, doesn’t play defense, and so on

Never said Randle was a perfect player, but the guy did play a pivotal role in making our team respectable again.

Denver isn’t a great team this year so the fact that they pushed this to 7 should tell you something. It’s wide open this year. Both series could go 6 or 7 epic games.

Going to be an interesting series okc vs Minn. Minn is going to need Randle to keep playing well. And maybe okc feels the pressure being a young team.

That Avery Johnson baseline jumper to seal their win still haunts me even knowing we didnt stand a chance.

If we get there and lose im going to be SICK.

and even this much success this year should be good. But damn man. I want basketball peace. This sht has been a source of pain that I want to put behind me. We get one, just one, and yeah ill be better. :lol:

At one point we held a double-digit lead against them before we went on to lose the game. :lol:

That lets me know that they're beatable...

Besides ... They still have to get past the Timberwolves who will not just lay down for them. Any team with Anthony Edwards is gonna fight to the death.

Both teams seem to matchup well

Superstar guards in ant and SGA
Double big lineups
Multiple stud wing defenders

Don’t know who’ll win but i think we should be entertained

This isnt about randle, i dont care how he left (good or bad), its about the Knicks.

Being okay with losing and not being too disgusted by it are two different things.

Anything that happened in the regular season doesn't matter.

A team doesn't reveal its true form until the playoffs....

They pushed the Thunder to seven games so yes the Nuggets are VERY, VERY GOOD...and the Thunder are ELITE

It's not a great matchup because on the D end, they have the long wings to harass JB.

As a team, you have to out rebound them no matter what. They are not hitting the 3 as well as they did in the regular season. In clutch situations, I think it's NYK advantage. Play them like Boston to a degree.

The 90s Knicks were 20 years from the 70 championship team where we are like 30 years away from the 90s Knicks. Somehow wingo is living thru it all.

We're quoting Pursuianen now? :lol:

The Clippers won 50 games this year.

Jokic has a ring and Finals MVP. He's been carrying. What a silly tweet.
