Ant is gonna be fine. If you’ve followed him at all this season you’d know he heals like Wolverine.

If Knicks have Randle now man , this could be scary


If we had been healthy, we would've beaten Boston last year too 8-)


Knicks vs Wolves in the finals

Wolves beating the Knicks in game 7 , diVincenzo or Randle scoring clutch winning shot and lifting the trophy in MSG

After this I’m done with basketball, I don’t have to watch another game ever again :lol: :lol:

We had midgets guarding Gobert :lol:

At least Green has shown he can more than handle no skill bigs like Gobert.

This series just got less interesting. Gotta think GSW are now the favorites. Jimmy B the best player in the series now.

I don't know about less interesting. That would just make it an even playing field.



Interesting for sure but taking the two biggest stars out makes it less captivating. Bulls vs Phoenix with no Jordan & Barkley is a great series still but way less captivating

You got the right teams, but the wrong result. Jalen wins it in game 6 because he likes ending teams on their home court 8-)

Unless the warriors can injure Randle as well, they won't need him.

Very true and I was being facetious but man the Lakers should not have allowed that.

That's one of the bad ankle sprains because it turned the other direction.

He could years ago, but this Draymond is old & weak. Randle will snap him in half before this series is over.

I’m stuck in a hotel room in BFE watching this… is the tracking off or is it just me in the middle of nowhere?

They have the crowd noise ducked. Sounds like the bubble most of the time.

Crazy how people are here talking like Ant's ankle sprain was even remotely intentional.
