How’s tanking going? It got u the 8th pick if im not mistaken


Hope you hang up a banner for winning the 2nd round.

If Knicks don't win a Championship and miss out on trading for Giannis they will have made an extremely dumb move. Arguably even if they win it was dumb.

Blowing the load on Mikail was objectively stupid.

Giannis + Brunson runs the East for years

And what are you hanging your hat on? Nic
Fcking Claxton? Ragging on the way the Knicks built a team that's in the ECF while rooting for a loser organization with no light at the end of the tunnel is insanity

I'm picking the Pacers in 7 games (and I am not feeling too confident about it). I was confident in them beating Cleveland from the jump, but New York has shown a lot. if Thibs is going to go with a 7 man rotation, game flow be damned, well, I'm not too excited about that.

I just trust Carlisle more than Thibs.

No. I only liked the Knicks as a kid because of Patrick Ewing, even though I grew up in Queens. The closest NBA team that I'm a fan of, is San Antonio.

Have a feeling the Knicks are going to cook the Pacers tonight. The off-time + all the media attention is gonna throw Hali off his game

Injured? Yet that injured yet potent team beat us in a game 5
We beat them when they were healthy and we were up 3-1 before “injuries”
Stop it, you’re embarrassing yourself. Focus on who you’re drafting with the 8th pick

Thanks for Mikal!! Should have asked for more picks!


Bragging about spending 5 picks on a role player :lol:

Will not be worth it in the long run.


Looks like he’s doing exactly what we needed him to with those five picks
Guess he just didn’t want to play for the little brother stench that are the nets with no future and no end in sight.

If you’re talking about dumb moves, You do know that your franchise traded picks for an already aged Pierce and KG. Those picks became Tatum and brown.
And KD Kyrie and harden destroyed the future of that team for years to come, and yet here WE are, far past any accomplishments that the New Jersey buma** nets have had since coming to Brooklyn

I’m sure if the Knicks wanted Giannis, 5 low 1st round picks weren’t going to get him :lol:

The Knicks were well into beating the Pacers last year without Randle, Robinson, and Boogy already up 2-0.. Winning in Indy gm 3 where OG got hurt and needed a miracle Neimhart 3 to win a close game. Then Siakim gets rolling taking advantage of Hart who is 6'4 guard who also hurt himself. Yet it went to game 7. Brunson injury doesn't count as he hurt himself when game was out of reach. Having this squad as a whole plus with Bridges and KAT with healthy OG and Healthy Robinson and Hart Knicks should not have this go beyond 6 games

Not sure about this but ….

Knicks fans have more arrogance in them than the fans of all other 29 teams combined

If there is a banner for arrogance you’ll got more of those by now than Celtics and Lakers championship banners :lol:
