Some of this is psychobabble admittedly but it’s time to be realistic.

Bridges has been a disappointment and so has second half KAT. OG is not a beast. He has disappointed. JB has been slowed too. Hart is not shooting.

The bench is weak.

Mitch is not good but plays hard.

Don’t kid yourself — with this dominate and we are so talented nonsense. The team is teetering on collapse (you all know it’s true deep down) so best take a realistic approach.


brother,

the reality in which realism is anchored is relative.

may i offer you a bean pie? free of charge.


Lol sure

You’re right

But my larger point is true: when has a team that disappointed all year and ended badly suddenly dominated a decent team like Detroit?

To SOME extent, the delusions feed this cycle of failure … in that sense, and kind of the OPPOSITE way of what SVG is saying (too much hope), the fans and media do help derail the team

I predict a 6 game series, Knicks winning. We'll suffer enough injuries going into a second round dumpstering to make the mistake of bringing this treadmill team and pathetic coach back next Fall. Then we can do the whole, if only our mediocre roster were healthy dance while another year evaporates.

Lmao at Kat having a bad year or Brunson, Kat has put up historical numbers before he hurt his finger and his knee, Brunson was putting up all nba numbers before he got his ankle ****, og was going bananas before he got dialed back and shut down. Some of you **** (Please Use More Appropriate Word) goofballs just don’t deserve this **** team. Go back and watch 07 highlights or most of the melo seasons. **** losers with a loser mentality. We would have been happy with making the playoffs most of Melos years lmao. Always one trade away though right? Ask zeke how that worked out. **** idiots

Our defense is pretty much non existent, our offense is underwhelming because KAT's 3pt shooting and 2 man game with JB are almost non existent, JB hogs the ball and puts OG and Mikal in standing around mode.

Honestly imo I feel like THE ONLY THING we have going for us is people and "experts" predict our early demise that it puts chips on our shoulders and lifts all expectations... and that's when guys are loose and actually perform best, at least in most cases.

I mean the team was missing a big part in most of the games against Boston and Clev. I think healthy this team is going to be a nightmare out, no B2B and you're game planning against 1 team

Nah folks don’t care about that or even want to see it first. They want to trade the kitchen sink for a 37 year old that never won anything outside of joining a 73 win team. I swear some folks are hilarious

I mean banged up we were up 15+ in Cleveland......we were up most of the game and shoulda beat Boston that last game as well, that last clev game was tight as well and both squads were missing pieces.....idk why ppl downplay the injuries so much. The Knicks will steamroll Detroit and then surprise a lot of people in the second round, hopefully Orlando gives Boston hell round 1.

Well I agree with that and have been saying for years I don't think KD is as good as he's supposed to be.

KD is pretty nasty and would be unreal next to Brunson and KAT, BUT you don't do it because he had the chance and got tricked into going to Brooklyn and no interest in trading OG because Bridges and pieces won't be enough to get it done

Our bench was a weak spot going into the season. Injuries compounded the weak bench.

I don't know if this was already posted, but everyone at ESPN who was asked picked the Knicks to win. 10 to 0. 3 in 5 games, 3 in 6 and 4 in 7, so many are predicting a competitive series, but everyone picked the Knicks.
