He's super streaky, but these past two games have been the kind of showings he has just often enough to make it hard to give up on him...especially with how hard he works on his game in the offseason and the progress we've seen so far.

Is he hurt ?? This isn’t Allen we know . Robinson kinda beating him down . I knew Robinson would be good in playoffs . Knicks better hold on to him

Job’s not done.

Edit. But yes. We do hate the Heat still. Very much so. As long as Riley is still president they will always be a foe.

And let's give some love to our boy Isaiah Hartenstein. He really hold his own out there against Allen and Mobley. Good job! He will be a key piece for our Nationalteam going forward! :)

The Knicks could actually go to the ECF. Hopefully this will inspire other teams to stop overpaying for brand name stars.

Can the Celtics take care of the Knicks in the ECF?


Gotta get past the Bucks/Heat first. Assuming the Knicks pull this off. I wouldn't bet against the Bucks unless their MVP is hurt. I also wouldn't sleep on the Heat.

That said, Knicks vs Celtics. I love the Knicks, but Celtics in 6 I think. Knicks would need to step up big time to get that far and beat the Celtics.

Thibs adjusting and actually benched Randle the entire 4th. Glad he’s not **** with lineups that are working well. iHarts and Obi’s minutes were huge.

Good. He's obviously not the force that Robinson is phsyically but he's been a really good defensive-anchor & rebounder; while his passing is a really nice wrinkle for us...especially when he's out there with the 2nd unit.

Donovan Mitchell taking a lot of heat and rightfully so, but he's a motherf*cker. He looks either hurt or maybe decided he's gonna do a silent trade demand again

I like Hartenstein. Really solid backup and could probably start in a few places.

Well, it's probably true, but Mitchell got locked almost the whole game. He missed some easy jumpers but that's what happens when you can't get into a rhythm.

Congrats to the Knicks honestly, they've been the better team and it shows. I'm not fretting too much cause I didn't expect a lot out of this season, just hope we can extend the series.
