PG: Hey Mikal, You're So Fine, You Blow Our Minds, Hey Mikal

[Guano]

some of his defense was really rough but whatever. he got better late in the game and we won. its all good.

He really is a weird player. Needs to head to oz for a brain cause the talent is crazy. Its the bumb fouls and stealing board from mitch to go outta bounds, ect. But that statline is just nuts.

He needs to learn Ju's IDGAFness and keep being aggressive

His shooting is silky smooth, like if he gets a clean look, anywhere just outside or inside the 3 pt line, even contested I expect it to go in

It's frustrating he doesn't demand the ball as he should

Because when he's aggressive, and ESPECIALLY taking and hitting 3s, we're pretty hard to beat

Someone said he gets in trouble when he has to think and while insultingly funny I tend to agree.

It’s weird bc that still wasn’t a wire to wire win but it was still a great win

We hung around

Mitchell may not even play so the Cavs probably can’t extend

i guess it's just the speed of the game now because injuries are just so much more prevalent in the league than they used to be.

Im unreasonable hard on mikal and kat cause they both had great games and I was an @sshole to em all game thread.

My expectations are unreasonable and im an unhinged fan during games. Im the problem.

You are saved.

Not me. My negativity magically creates Knicks greatness

Good job

Like I said, unlike Joel, I absolutely feel bad for Tatum.

He really gave his all (literally) in this game, 42 points and 6 stocks. Crazy stat.

But he got his rings and the supermax contract already so don't feel too sad for him.

He's a DOG HS! Period!

Has a whole forum ever eaten crow collectively on one player, first time for everything

Earlier in the season I was preaching caution to Knicks fans. This is year 1 of a big rebuild. I said you had to be patient, don't expect to do it all right away, the team has a bright future.That is all still true but I tell you, to be where the Knicks are already, year one, with a ton of growing pains still to go!? This is nothing short of a triumph! Last year's squad was good but this team needs some respect; they are doing remarkable things.

We stopped the bleeding several times that was the key, we gave ourselves a chance.

The new C's owners are snakebitten

Record franchise buy

BEFORE he got hurt, keeping both Tatum and Brown beyond this season is gonna be super expensive and if it doesn't result in a championship this year, they may have to be broken up, now he sustains a major injury that'll likely keep him out ALL of NEXT season

I think they will trade Brown for sure or maybe even Tatum (if a team is willing to trade for him and wait until 2026-27 season)

al is old, jrue is old, porzingis can't be relied on to stay healthy, no reason to trade brown

They may not have a choice though if noone wants to trade for Tatum, and because keeping both is gonna be super expensive

BEFORE he got hurt, we looked like we're gonna win this, and likely the series

That means a healthy Tatum + Brown were no longer their best card to win a championship but now he got hurt, it's even more pressing for them to deal one of them to address the salary cap issues and completely retool the roster

Ladies and gentlemen we are 1 more win from hosting the eastern conference finals. Can’t believe I just wrote that.

Yeah, even before this win ... for me, this team surpassed any team we had in the last decade.

Not everyone here has spent the whole season hating on him, just the majority

Thibs did well in the breaking up the momentum here and there. Same for Joe, honestly.

[Ewings2ndcousin]

How many more of these games does Mikal need for us to accept the 5 picks? Is it officially over?

Ohhh... We square now fo sho

[Guano]

Can we not turn this into the Tatum funeral mourners' thread???

This isn't about mourning the Celtics misfortune....

This is about celebrating the Knicks win!!!!

Go Knicks!!! Knicks in 5!!!! Mitch was huge!!! someone must have told Mazzulla that the hack-a-mitch was classless.

Our boy meLo

He was hoping so bad we were gonna lose man he was desperate to start his teardown of a guy who shot 11-15. Very bad person. Tatum blows. Fraud who needed the whole league to get injured and have Finals MVP Jaylen Brown beat a bunch of 5 seeds to win anything. FOH. Where loopy

This is the sht im on right now!

I mean were 1 win away from the ecf and im suppose to have decorum. Act like im a character in a Jane Austin book. Foh and fck Boston.

[RHODEY]

Tatum was going off but we was up while he was in the game so… not a good take Windy. Kind of a dark cloud but we know everything about injuries. Our entire team is battered. For good karma, hopefully he comes back and that was is Paul Pierce moment and we win.

No one gave a damn about Julius last year....they acted like he was never on the Knicks.

I feel bad about Tatum. My nephew went radio silent the rest of the game. I do not want to win the series with people saying it was because Tatum got hurt. It has nothing to do with us winning this game though. Sucks to see great players go down. Lillard/Steph. Garland and Mobley missed time. You just hope it doesn't happen to us.

They all came to play tonight. If they do that the rest of the way.....we can beat anyone. That was a team win. Guys we're hustling together and they never let it get out of hand.

Brunson is the greatest Knick I have ever watched. Period. No one does it better in the playoffs.
