I love Brunson. He's like if Juan Dixon actually had talent

Celtics missed 45 3s. That is amazing. It's not like the Knicks have much shot blocking.

I still can't believe Denver stole that game.

I know who my MVP is. I also predict he won't win it.

Not sure who’s fans btw NYK and BOS are more annoying. So I decided to
root for the away team for now.

side note - the zards have the longest gap since their last trip to the conf finals
but the Nix last won a chip in ‘73. So there’s that.

I love New Yorkers. BOS fans I find completely insufferable. They're all bigot drunkards (no bigotry on my end saying that). Just an observation.

I tend to like NYers except when I was a plan holder
at Wiz games. I remember mgmt pranking a group
of Nix fans into thinking they had won a wide screen
TV but they 'accidentally' broke it bringing it to their seat.

That drew a HUGE applause from the wiz fans in
attendance.

Best series of conference playoffs basketball in decades, the Knicks and Pacers are winning the mental aspect of the game so-far.

I feel like this has been the best playoffs of my life, at least in recent memory

It's not the Knicks fans who are the most annoying, it's the guys who come to root for the away teams at the Phone Booth. I find the Laker fans the most annoying personally, probably because they strike me as frontrunners. Knicks have not been the "it" team in basketball for a long long time so don't root against them particularly the way I do against the Yankees or Dallas Cowboys.

Jalen Brunson is like Everson Walls was. Most of the time drafting guys like that get you fired.

Lol Hali with the Sam Cassell Big Balls celebration. Yeah he’s definitely getting fined for that. :)

Sigh. Back in 1995 I was living in Indiana when Reggie Miller scored 8 points in 9 seconds to steal game one from the Knicks.

What comes around goes around I guess.

Nuggets getting blasted by the Thunder.

Very happy to see the Knicks win again.

From from Reddit -

Sir, a second loss has hit Boston. LOL.
