Cade is going to dog walk every defender they throw at him, like he did during the regular season. On the season vs NY for Cade: 31/8/5 on 56/52/80. He embarrassed them every time we played them.

Pistons with another great start. Let’s see if they have learned from the G1 collapse.

Good lord what an ugly ass first quarter. Knicks can’t make anything, Cade can but keeps doing stupid stuff.

Pistons are playing tough. Knicks need to bring their intensity up.

Cade only had 4 fastbreak points in game 1. Looks like getting Cade in transition early on is the game plan.

Knicks should be going right at Duren, not hoisting threes. Without Stew, we’re soft as hell inside.

Yes but it was understandable in this case. He was first pushed and then accidentally tripped (through no fault of OG).

Why would anybody take Knicks seriously

It’s a laughingstock team for more than a quarter of a century

We not talking here about , Lakers Spurs Warriors Celtics hell even about likes of Nuggets Mavs or Toronto

We talking about Nix , bottom feeder for generations


Do the Knicks have any fans outside of New York?

Traditionally, it’s Lakers and Celtics maybe 70% of the international market and the other 30% fans of the Bulls and Knicks (90s effect). Of course, the rise of the likes of the Warriors in recent era took some of that pie.

We go over this every year.

Knicks lost to the Nets for two years straight ( nba record )

Nets was in NBA finals twice during last 25 years , Knicks was none

Talk about insecurities

Knicks was the only franchise willing to pay for Mikal Bridges , 5 unprotected FR picks plus the swap :lol:
Knicks suck. Awful franchise. Worse evah. Blah blah blah. Yet...

Over the past decade the Knicks have:

- more wins
- more second round appearances
- more 50 win seasons

Than your hapless, pathetic wastrel of a franchise. We keep crapping on y'all and you're trying to hurl the **** upward and call it a win as it splashes back down on your face as you sit at home with no playoffs.

In conclusion, Nets suck and leave the trash talking to the big kids little bro. This has been my TED talk. Now **** off.

He doesn't want to sub them at all. You expect him to stagger them?

My predictions start of the year was Knicks/Dallas and now It's Knicks/Lakers.

But we all know the NBA wants Bos/Lakers
