Bridges I guess is good enough for his defense even with his bad offense

Hard not to like this knicks team. Solid blue chip starters and more.
In reference to our title winning year

Welp, I’ m lookin HELLA wrong about my ECF predictions. I was 100% confident on my “under 11.5 total games” prediction, and at this point, to be right, I’d need to be wrong about the winners. That’d be kinda hilarious.

After guys like you said it would be over in 4? And we should be thankful if we win 1?

Embarrassing



Wether you want to accept it or not the Knicks are sending you home very soon champ but congrats you are 4-1 against them so far this year. :lol:


I said Celtics in 5. Which is what you're looking for at.

Regardless. I'm gonna enjoy the win much more in here now that you've proven to be sore winner.

You did this to your self.

The people who said “Celtics in 5” never had the Knicks winning a game in Boston. I love how nonchalant they trying to be lol. They had the Knicks winning a game in NY.

Ran your mouth a nice amount early on about how great your team was, blew a 20 point lead at home, tuck your tail and deal w the loss. When it's 2-0 coming back to the (Real) Garden you'll go mute.....

Thank you to Detroit for getting this team mentally prepared to at least give Boston a series.

Those close games and physical battles seem to have injected the Knicks with the resiliency that was missing for most of the regular season.

This....they had it W-W-W-L-W....they're nervous, haven't been down in a series in a while now, also haven't played a team like the Knicks yet, proving that SOFT run to last years title was just that, SOFT, like how soft Tatum is.

The basketball Gods gave us game 1 for having to put up with listening to Reggie Miller again.

is there anything more embarrassing than Celtics fans calling for Joe Mazzulla to be fired after losses?
