I was looking at this on twitter and thinking its a perfect symbol of what the Pistons unlocked and what Boston cant deal with...

[MrDollarBills]

Knicks are 17-18 at home in the playoffs at msg since 2000

1-2 this season. That's all that matters. We need to improve that if we have any hopes of continuing to the next round.

Mike Breen was saying on the radio that he thinks the team plays nervous at home for some reason. Kinda seems that way.

Hopefully being up 2-0, with the monkey off their backs versus Boston that the Garden will fuel them. It's gonna be an earthquake in the building Saturday

Detroit clearly woke this team up defensively. This is not the same team that we saw throughout April.

Last time we beat Boston in the playoffs we ended the big 3 era and broke up the core. Let’s do it again

They were always going to run into problems with the second apron, their roster will be the most expensive in American team sports history, the Suns hold that title for now and outside the NBA the most expensive roster were the Cubs at $321 million, the Celtics are gonna eclipse that by $140-180 million if they don't break up the team.


Because of Brunson making DeAron Fox money our team is built to contend now and the future.

Yeah they will have to. Haven’t looked at their salaries but I’m curious who gets kept and who has to be moved. Obviously they will keep Tatum

I don't like how Karen tried to seemingly blame this man for something when he didn't do anything. That stuff triggers me.

This is the exact description of how it felt as a Knicks fan playing against Jordan in the 90s. EXACT. Like, halfway through reading it I couldn't even tell you were posting about Brunson anymore because my MJ PTSD kicked in.

Crazy the Knicks have a guy that can show up similarly.

Where would we even rank Brunsons contribution in that game 2 win. Not that I really care to get in the nuance of ranking credit. It was a complete team win and everyone had key contributions. Hell deuce hit some clutch buckets on that run. Its just wild that we're up 2 and we haven't needed Brunson to be Brunson.

I don't know man, I can't even talk about this stuff at this point. This playoff high is so 90s to me, it's a euphoria I haven't felt in nearly 3 decades - being in series with GREAT teams and emerging victorious, sometimes as underdogs, from individual battles. But those 90s highs also came with catastrophic crashes when wars were lost in the end.

The one nuance I keep reminding myself of though is simply that we actually have a GUY this time around. Jalen Brunson being one of the most capable and reliable closers in the NBA - a game-warping player that can take over and control games against the best teams, defenders, coaches, in the playoffs, in the 4th quarter, at the most highly pressurized moments in the game. So much of these first two rounds feels the same as the mid 90s to me in terms of the euphoria, the jubilation, and the giddiness, but with that recall also comes the memory of the pain. We were always waiting for Jordan to grab the game by the neck at the end, because as wonderful a player as Pat was, that wasn't reliably part of his bag. Starks wanted to be that guy, and had the stomach for it, but he didn't have the actual skill to be it. In the late 90s Houston and Spree had varying pieces of the closer/finisher composition, but neither was actually fully formed in that regard. We could get up, feel good, but then have it ripped away in a fairly predictable manner.

Jalen is legitimately one of the elite in the NBA at it - a true boogeyman to other teams - and I'm hoping that's the difference now. That's the only nuance I can focus on at this point.

All of this.

We are all here. Its a great time to be a knick fans.

I don't blame you. People have been jailed for it.

But I did love how the other guard came over, looked at the group, looked at her, and then walked away like "they don't pay me enough." And she gets whisked away at the end.

Who knows what's going on to make things work ... maybe Thibs was working some magic that we never knew about

And the series is far from over

However if I'm the Knicks I'm not letting PJ Tucker go if this team makes the Finals or puts up a good fight in the EC Finals. In fact I'm thinking of him for a head coach job

Pope Leo sounds like he knows a guy that can take care of your little problem but inakinda holy like way if you know what I mean

I'll keep it real, I doubt that woman cares about the Celtics winning or losing and isn't salty they lost, she probably just wants to go home at that point. The whole section is empty except for them, and when I see videos like this, I just know the people are trying to go viral.

[Jalen Bluntson]

Do they sell sandwiches in Oklahoma? That dude needs one.

Are you eating any of the hope sammiches we're handing out around here yet? Are you excited? Are you buying in to this team right now?

I don't even understand what he means?

Chet needs a sammich!

I hear you on that. And it reminds me that sports brings out the worst in me. I start to pocket watch and am anti-worker cause fck her. Were dancing in your house and can close up when we want to leave.

FCK BOSTON!

[K_ick_God]

Whole city of Boston committing atrocities against our Knick brethren

An armed Knick militia may be needed, unless the Pope tells us to stand down

[Knick4Real]

I wanna see Pope Leo at MSG on Saturday reppin' the Nova Gang!
