If we win, the NBA Cup is important and good. If we lose...NBA Cup is trash.

[Guano]

Nervous as hell for this one. Being a fan of this team was a lot easier when they were trash.

It was beat into your soul. They would always lose and always suck and every trade and draft would fail. I don't know that it was easier though. I like the other side of the coin.

Idk, I remember getting my heart broken in the 90s when I had expectstions. Sht hurt. Bad. I'm a lil more calloused now, but I'm still a lil sensitive. These mf better not break my heart tonight. I want this CUP.

Yeah it was a bit more laid back when we were losing 67 games a year but during loss after loss we could be like hey.. we almost won that one! Moral victory. Kid McKidderson really showed some flashes! Future looking bright! We’re up to 2nd on tankathon!

Now we have to win every game or it’s a meltdown and fire and trade everyone

WE WANT THE CUP! WE WANT THE CUP! WE WANT THE CUP!

I remember the 90s well. That pain has faded though. It has been the constant misery and losing since that was beating me down. I like this turnaround and I am excited to watch the games knowing we can win them. This is as close to a title as we have been since the 90s and we are in the first season of contention. I want to win every night and the CUP would be a nice little treat. It will bother me more that we lost to Atlanta than anything else.

garden is rocking

[Deeeez Knicks]

A little sloppy to start.

[F N 11]

Back door galore and we got Trae Young pick and roll on lock. No easy lobs.

My guy Bridges is finally back.

Keep the defense going.

[Clyde_Style]

What a difference a good start makes

[Deeeez Knicks]

Mikal playing great defense and nice cut. KAT will find you

[HEZI]

Great ball movement

[jvsimonetti0514]

Love that og and Mikal cut into that open space

[KnicksGadfly]

I love how our guys cut...offball play is fun

The loss to Atl in November had me in turmoil. NOVEMBER. I'm not built for this winning sht

[jvsimonetti0514]

I think I hate Frank more than I hate Trae. Seeing him in a Knicks jersey makes me way more sad

[aggo]

dumping randle really opened up team play


its harsh but true.
