Meanwhile no Knicks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Knicks are about, literally, the seventh best team in the league. With their coach playing the playoffs lineup when no-one else is. But without any game planning at all.

I have no words ... other than "sack Thibs".

He looked really out of shape there. I question his conditioning and drive to improve.

At least Dallas will “save” money.

I watched their game last night. Their defense is insane. Wagner and Banchero really couldn’t create much against them. And the fact that they have Deandre Hunter and Ty Jerome off the bench is a cheat code. They are the biggest threat to the Celtics.

You know what they say

Everything's bigger in Texas

Apparently that includes level of dumbassery.

I can't believe anyone thought the trade made any sense at all.

I would have needed multiple firsts, swaps and multiple young prospects just to start the conversation. Nico Harrison is a either a moron, or he's the fall guy for a bunch of scumbag owners who didn't wanna pay to do the cost of business.

Anthony Davis' corpse and Max Christie is a horrible return for a generational top 3 talent at age 25.

Luka's conditioning and drive lol

He just dragged the Mavs to the finals. Dallas probably gets bounced in Round 1 led by Kyrie and AD.

Lakers barely beating the Mavs without AD does not prove they are legit. Only beating the Cavs, Celtics and OKC counts :lol:

Ain't no one going to convince me that this wasn't self-sabotage or a Lakers' pick me up, because this trade will never make sense. I'm still haunted by one of Nico's quote about avoiding a tumultuous offseason. Like, WTF, you're afraid to do your job or something?

It is funny the double standards some fans hold us to verse any other outside team we see from afar. It's the "grass is always greener" conundrum IMO.

It never gets brought up how we smacked a fully healthy Memphis team or a fully healthy Denver squad. How we've smacked the Bucks up twice and Indiana.

The Knicks may not be contenders in some fans eyes but we're WAY better off than like 90% of the league including the Lakers IMO.

DeMarcus Cousins called the Knicks average.

#3 team in the East, top 10 record isn't average. It's hard to take this stuff seriously.

Yeah, the Knicks need to fix the perimeter D and Mikal needs to do better but this is a very good club

It was clearly collusion between Dallas and LA. They didn't even open up the bidding to other teams

I’m glad we’re having normal conversations again.

Are people in here saying the Lakers are legit because they beat the AD-less Mavs?

Cause I think that's just the strawmen talking in your heads.
