you're totally right but I'd just rather just face the Nuggets. Think we'd carve those bums up.


I want the Nuggets. I want them to face the best player in the world and say "the New York Knicks defeated the evil joker, Nikola Jokic, in the NBA Finals"


Towns already beat him in last year’s playoffs so it’ll just be business as usual!

I honestly think Mitch played like the DPOY in this series.

Mobley was never as good as this during the regular season.

102.5 defensive rating in 20 minutes per game against the Celtics, one of the best offenses in NBA history. 99.4 after 4 games, so this preceded the Tatum injury.

These numbers are absolutely insane.

Unbelievable.

Mobley STINKS, man said he thinks he will be the face of the nba in 5 years, every time I watch him I am so underwhelmed, Mitch would bitch the Cavs again if they met instead of Indiana

My bad. A lot of shtty people from boston for me to assume it was Brown. I just couldn't care less about portnoy to waste keystrokes on him. Fck him and the rest of Boston.

I was with you being worried. More cause of lolKnicks than anything else. Scars run deep. But this is a new run. We have HIM.

we had people in here saying fire thibs for having mikal and kat in the game with 9 minutes left. i got to call it psychopathy because there's no way therapy or internal work that could numb the ptsd we and thibs have.


Were up 30 going to the ecf and the thread turned into a classic bitchfest wanting thibs head - the brand is strong :lol:

And there aren't any other maniacs on the www I'd rather celebrate or watch knicks hoops with

You were down the hardest when we were down and to see you going so hard is gratifying AF.

I got emotional towards the end of Q2. By Q3 I was already riding high. We weren't losing.

Bro, what you don’t know is that I agonized over a courtside seat and flights to that insane Portland game and I was planning to PM you if I went.

Last minute lost my nerve and regretted it so hard. I got to see Game 4 live with that money so all is healed.

I think Denver gets out of the game 7 with a win but fall short against Minn.....

Knicks in 6. Indy will get hot one or two games and NYK will put up duds here and there. Hard to win them all against good teams. Knicks are new at this contending thing.

No one is beating us when we're on like that. Knicks would pack the Pantheon up in 6.




That's the 3rd time that has happened in the playoffs, 4 guys with 20 or more. I think we're the only team that has that kind of firepower, our two 3 & D wings can score 20 on you, while our elite scorer can hit you for 30+, and his sidekick will get you an awkward looking but stable 20-25.

Boston punched us in the face on their ring night in the first game of the year. Proceeded to smack us around all year and we did them in. Great job Knicks.

That's true, actually. Glen Rice would have just expired. Eisley and Anderson extended the hell and started the vicious and harrowing spiral downward.

Bro, I dont know what to make of kat he is like Randle evolved. He does dumb Randle sht but is vastly more talented. I blame all you 5 out freaks for this curse. You all hated on Randle and we ended up with a better version of him that is more likable. He had a great game yet it was nails. Airballing a middy than driving through the lane for 2 the next play. Mf doesnt respect my fragile emotions
