I am more confident now than before. This team will be razor sharp focus. I expect them to come out and execute. Dont be surprised if they stomp the pacers out in back to back games.

We are winning this f’n series.
F**k the pacers


i been a knicks fan almost 40 years. this is one L.

TheKnicksFix shared a timely story of triumph i hope you all can take a moment to read. made me think of some ****. viewtopic.php?f=24&t=2453953

harlem. south Bronx. whole 80s. whole 90s. i don't have to say it. i shouldn't be alive. some of the reasons i can't even talk about because some **** doesn't have statute of limitations on it.

everything that's tried to kill me in this life has failed. everything. no weapon formed against me has prospered. none. this is guard body.

****, no. i'm not folding after a loss. city made me far too dangerous for any of that.

Kind of a relevant detail to the Knicks discussion, I would think, yes JVG? :dontknow:


i wouldn’t call what you’re doing Knicks discussion, if we’re keeping it real.

better to just bounce than knock the table over and make a mess on the way out.


I can knock over a table. Look at that Brunson Twitter thing from NoDope. There's no "analysis" needed. Sometimes you are left to yell.

for the first time, we were our worst when our best was needed.

for the first time, we are down in a series.

we gonna find out what this group is about.


This is it


Complete joke to think they haven't already shown you who they are, but to each his own. Carry on and God speed lol.


We won the first two games in Boston when we were supposed to lose and we won the series when we were supposed to lose

Pacers require 3 more wins to advance
Knicks require 4 more wins to advance

This is the math

Series exist to reveal the true character of a team

Single games do not unless every game is the same

So far every game is a story within a story

No joke

KAT’s sloppy defense has put the rest of the team at risk time and time again covering for him


Completely delusional. OG shoots early, isn't guarding anybody, can't gather the ball or make a dunk or just bring the ball out like it should be ... and that's KAT's fault mostly.

What a joke.

They NEEDED a 3 and OG is well inside the line, guarding air. OG gets a pass because why? Nobody knows.

KAT is a better and smarter player than 0g who should be booed every time he touches it next game.


Nah Brody, I completely disagree, look at the play again, KAT hits a finger roll layup and puts us up 8. But on the route back down the court, he guards Neismith. He completely gets picked by Siakim and instead of calling it out so OG knows who to guard, OG is left in no man’s land deciding which person KAT WONT guard. OG has a right to be pissed, you can’t switch defensive coverages last minute and expect your teammate to read your mind.



I just rewatched this btw, KAT screamed loud af for OG to get Nesmith @ the 0:50 mark. OG fell asleep for a second

He didn't fall asleep shooting his 3 or making his lame attempt to score on Siakam? Could have fooled me. The guy is nothing but asleep. He's a walking Ambien pill dressed up as a basketball player.

Yea but that’s my point spree. He called out for Og to guard neismith AS he’s getting picked. There was no communication on the play until he’s getting picked off

KAT should call him out for not being able to play more than 28 minutes a game and having no muscle tone, in addition to playing 65 games a year. Dang I wish the dude had signed with the 6ers. I rather have Oubre.

Win game 2, and everything is forgiven. We all expected this to likely be a 1-1 series after 2 games anyway.


Go look at his playoff 3pt shooting numbers thru rounds 1 and 2.

The only ones who didn't get the memo is the team and staff.


I'm not talking about that. I know he's a great 3-point shooter. I'm more so stating that he'll never go on a stretch like that again where he makes like 6 threes in a row in a 2-3 min span.

Remember the same squad and rotation is there from last season. They’ve gotten even better.

I looked at the Pacers playoff performances and in all their wins they are, except for one game, shooting over 50% from the field and over 40% from 3. Does anyone remember last year in Game 7 when they shot like 70% for the game? This team can score and is extremely efficient. I just don’t see us beating them at this point. Just taking the big choke collapse out of the equation - we shot 50% and lost. We don’t normally shoot 50% from the field. We can’t shut this team down when it matters. I just don’t see it happening.


Pacers won last night by a complete divine intervention. Nesmith won't have a scratch like that again where he shoots like six 3 pointers in a row in a 2-3 min span, and Hali won't ever make a shot that crazy at the end of the 4th quarter either. It took those things happening to even just bring it to OT.

Knicks had 0 business losing game 1, I think they're about to pull a game 6 against Boston tomorrow night.

Thank you, we don't need this negativity

I think we’ll be fine with it.

If Jalen Brunson gets up on the podium and says we lost because of GKF’s negativity on RealGM I’ll re-think my posts.


The negativity just sets a black cloud over us, as if we're down 3-0, win tomorrow and take game 3 and you are exactly where you're supposed to be
