I selected Hawks in 6 by mistake.
Please change to Knicks in 6.
Thank you.

Good point and I believe Randle’s only 26 and getting his first taste

Funny to realize Randle's 26 - seems like he's been around forever.

gotcha. Do you also have the minutes that elf spent on him? Curious what those #s look like per36.

April 21st: 3:04 mins

February 15th: 4:56 mins

January 4th: 6:08 mins

i don’t know how to get per 36 on this

So that's

April 21st: 3 assists per 3.066 minutes; or ~35 assists per 36
February 15th: 2 assists per 4.933 minutes; or ~14.5 assists per 36
January 4th: 5 assists per 6.133 minutes; or ~29 assists per 36

Which tracks; as the Feb game was the one that elf was a +3 in...he was -11 in both of the other matchups.

I'll post this here too for additional And1s inspiration:

What a glorious end to a glorious season. I'm sorry I have until now been unable to join in on the celebration of securing the 4th seed. I assure you, I was with the team and community here in spirit in the most profound way. While today's game was transpiring, I embarked on a sacred pilgrimage deep into the towering mountains of western Washington to visit a place holy to the Knickerbockers. My eldest daughter and I prayed and made offerings to bring good fortune and light to our upcoming playoff battles.

Spoiler:

Unfortunately, due to the intense spiritual nature of the site at hand I was unable to take photographs any closer than this. Rest be assured it was everything I ever could have imagined and more and I hope this post inspires others to make the pilgrimage.

BLESS THIS TEAM BLESS YOU ALL AND GO NY GO NY GO!

Just because we've been able to dig ourselves out of the hole that Elf digs us into each game, to this point; doesn't make it wise to continue digging ourselves into holes each game.

A playoff thread! I don't think I remember anything from the last time we were in the playoffs. Seems like a decade ago..... :lol:

It’s a fresh season in the playoffs. Hopefully the Knicks can keep up with the pace of the playoffs.

I’m glad to see this young team get some playoffs experience.

LOL.... its funny this thread isn't at 100 pages yet. Goes to show you... There were a lot of tanking minds out there.

I'm going to say. I am not satisfied yet. Lets go BEASTMODE RANDEL> trae ...

I am going to say 6 games series Knicks.

FreeSpiritNY · Post #72 » by **FreeSpiritNY** » Mon May 17, 2021 3:10 am

Would we be the 2 seed if we didn't have payton and had rose to start the year with us?

Agreed what people trying to paint as logic is not logic. These things can cost us in the playoffs. I guess Job is to get the ball to Randle early and often. We all know he will force drives and call pick and rolls with Noel which is the worst offense threat pick and roll duo ever known to man. I don’t want to see Payton on Trae’s hop while Trae gets to rest on defense.

I wonder when Mitch would return? If we could take Atlanta yall think he could be ready later on?

Frank at 22/23 too

i can assure you that here in the ATL the place will be full of Knicks fans! Plan to be there for both 3 & 4 depending on the dates.

we have home court advantage for 7 games :lol:

Davis18 · Post #79 » by **Davis18** » Mon May 17, 2021 3:51 am

Hawks is not a pushover.
Young & Capela dominated in last game.

BUT I am very confident that we will win this series.
I don't want to see Payton playing a single second from now on.
Burks/RJ/Rose/IQ/Frank should be the back court.

I think we have a chance vs. Sixers if Mitch comes back.
Mitch always gave Embiid hard times.

LET'S GO KNICKS!!!

One of us might need to step up & save Thibs from himself. Where is Tonya when you need her?

Who will win the series?
