I quit every week? Eat a bag of dicks bro. I didn't watch one a game because Thibs sucks. I spent MONTHS on here backing this team when people were trashing every player on it. Not the coach but, I never quit on the TEAM. So take your punk ass BS somewhere else. always talking **** about the posters on this board. Who the fuq are you? You're a nobody on a message board.

This is awesome, but it confused me a bit because I grew up going to school with a guy I thought had become THE organist at MSG, and the guy in the video isn't him. I just looked him up (my guy), and it looks like he's still doing it as of a few days ago, so does MSG actually have multiple house organists?

During ESPN’s postgame broadcast, Smith said that the Knicks players apparently had nothing to say to him following their 119-81 Game 6 trouncing of the Celtics because he originally picked Boston to win the series.

“Jalen Brunson came up to me and said, ‘I have nothing to say to you,'” Smith said alongside former Knicks great John Starks during the postgame broadcast. “Karl-Anthony Towns said, ‘You picked the wrong team’ because I picked Boston before the series began.

I'm so glad they are exposing these fake and fickle wannabe clowns like SAS and not giving him any attention!

There should be consequences for those who **** on this team all season and now just want to join in the celebrations and success! There are a bunch of mini SAS here.


Reading this is as almost as good as the win

I think they should trade their older vets, clear the books and tank.

They're irrelevant without Tatum anyway. Might as well rebuild while he recovers.

I think they are going nowhere. Probably turning Holiday and/or KP into a lower salary player to get near the apron.
Horford is probably gone, but Tatum/Brown/White/Pritchard is still a damn good nucleus.

imo they are a lower tier playoff team next season and right back into contention the year after.


If they lose both KP & Horford would be like us losing KAT & Mitch. Leaves 2 holes on either roster AT THE SAME POSITION that have to be filled - not with journeymen or 2nd rounders but significant rotation pieces and with their salary constraints. Not ideal for a comeback spot for them.

Nah B. Take it on the heels and just STFU with your nonsense. You're always running around trying to trash the posters on this board and making lists and trying this same tired BS like you're someone above it all.

I can't stand some of the shyt the HC does. We have NO BUSINESS being in the ECF from a coaching standpoint. That was my issue during the Detroit series. Thibs was awful 10 of the 12 games we've played so far. If Boston hits 2 more threes in the first two games we lose this series.

I was one of the FEW people who believed we had a championship core and a legit shot at a title this year. I got shyt for it. The players are proving me right. Not sure why you're in here trying to say different.

I skipped 3/4 of one game against Detroit because Thibs pisses me off. As for the players...I believe in this roster and have believed long before many others in here who are now enjoying the team. You don't see me trying to pull receipts and act like the head of the Knicks fan club

I simply calmed down and listened to reason after that. I was all in for the Boston series. You're in here trying to talk the same BS you do every other month. Calling for posters to be banned. Check yourself and go away now. We are going to the ECF and you wanna start shyt? Don't go away mad. Just go away.

Special thanks to those who never wavered in their belief in this roster's talent, despite growing pains and "elite" coaching.

Thank you Leon for carefully constructing this amazing roster, giving us a real chance to compete for a championship!!

Bring on the Indiana Pacers!!!!! :x :x :x :x


I was here for the 3 days this site got hijacked by "detractors" who made it their mission to argue against the new roster.

Now, the roster that was built to beat Boston actually BEAT BOSTON!!! :nod:


If you want to go down the rabbit hole, you could make an argument that keeping Randle and DiVencenzo while adding Bridges would have made us better (at least for) this year.

The problem at the time was Randle was:

1. A bit more a headcase,
2. Up until that point was terrible in the playoffs in the NY spotlight
3. Sounded like his contract extension would be a problem and he might leave.

With the risks involved, I still think we made to right decision but I will say this: If Randle was able to excorcise his playoff demons like he did this year in Minny, coupled with keeping Divo who loved playing here, you could definitely argue that we could have been a better team.

I truly believe LAST years team if it remained healthy had a legit chance to beat Boston. Not garanteeing we would have, but we were a studly defensive team after the OG trade (something like 20-5) before everyone and their mother started succumbing to injuries. That team in one of the last regular season games blow out Boston in their building with a defensive intensity quite similar to what we saw in game 6.

Also it was a team with more than 3/4 its top 6-7 starters out that took the Pacers to 7 games.

And with saying all this I am not saying in any way I am unhappy with KAT either.

But if you call this years Randle in Minny and KAT kind of a wash, Divo's ridiculous 3 ball was definitely missed.
