Damn I'm old :lol:

Freakin loved Johnny Newman. He looked like he weighed 100 pounds but still tried to yam on everyone


Good old Johnny Newman, he had a cup of coffee with the New Jersey Nets back in the day. He had a decent jumper from what I remember too


Divo will do his Johnny Newman impersonation usually around once per game and try to yam on some random big unexpectedly. Doesn't always go in but I love it


Delaware Jordan ain't scared of no one :lol:

Just a dumb move. Never give the opponent any reason to get more fired up to beat you. You can't even picture someone like Brunson saying something like this. Good job Reed

Philadelphia is favored to win the series by Vegas. We better come out motivated and firing on all cylinders. Ruin their confidence quickly.

Jalen is about to put up 60 on Phlly lol Brunson was putting up 40+ efficiently against actual great defensive players (Caruso, Jrue, Derrick White & Jaylen Brown). Philly is about to learn.

Damn.... this is the type of player that our city falls in love with. Definition of a captain and leader. Thank you Jalen for putting this city of your back but showing it on your chest. You my dear friend are a true Knick.

You are not wrong. But ther'se a difference between that and wishing them to be at full strength, while we are not.

If we wanted an easier road to the ECF, we should've tanked the last game of the season.

We didn't, and that's fair enough.

But we put ourselves in a position to face Joel Embiid and the Sixers.

I'm not wishing for Joel's heath to keep deteriorating just to win a round because we didn't choose a more realist approach. I don't wish for great players to be unable to fully express their talent.

Whatever happens happens in that series. We'll have to accept that. Personally I'm fairly confident, and feel pretty zen about it.

Sometimes people only learn through pain. Paul Reed will soon find out.

Going to be a rough series if embiid can stay healthy.

Worried about donte in this one too. He struggled in last years playoffs. And he is an integral part of the offense.

Definitely don't expect this to be an easy first rd.
