Already not expected back unfortunately
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?
Please advise….

Man, as a neutral observer, the announcers are really in the bag for the Knicks. Haliburton's face being "in the wrong place" means it's a defensive foul? If anything that's a play on.

Everyone’s better than Melo
Disrespect of Melo by Knicks fans is legitimately shocking to me.
He used to be beloved. '13 Knicks were insanely popular. More so than this team.

Worst troll on the boards. Gotta be better than judging an injured Brunson who hadn't been the same since the foot injury such an obvious troll job. Be better.
Haliburton is injured too lol. Hes been terrible.
Don't make excuses.
Be better man. Little brother syndrome ain't a good look.

There's no argument whatsoever that the Knicks are the best team in the East even when healthy. I can believe the Rockets are the best in the West too, it doesn't have any merit though.
The game the Celtics activated all their starters to play against the Knicks when resting them all during that period…says a lot about what they wanted.
And that was first game the Celtics saw the Knicks with OG. Look how different the results were
Lmao Knicks are like 2 tiers below the Celtics. Using a meaningless regular season game when the Celtics had the 1 seed locked up means nothing

ESPN not using JJ Reddick to his strengths imo, I feel he is annoyed by Doris Burke and he should be paired with Jefferson.

If you want to go that route, since you’re assuming they would’ve scored on that final play. But Siakam should’ve fouled out when he showed Ihart his new MMA move which would’ve wiped 2pts off of the Pacers in a tied game and ihart going to the FT line
But that’s what home court advantage gets you, it’s stupid and unfortunate but it’s very obvious that when you’re on the road, you’re not going to get calls

He isn’t overrated in flopping though
He is as good or better as prime Lowry

If you want to keep using a single game sample size to believe a team that absolutely dominated the conference and the Knicks all year is not head and shoulders above the Knicks feel free. I mean I already know what kind of excuses New York fans make when facing Boston teams when I lived in Boston full time. It was pretty hilarious. It holds true on the internet too it seems.

The craziest thing about this series is NY has played Pacers game and almost went up 3-0. I don’t think they can afford to do that anymore though, fatigue is kicking in badly.

He's a very good defender. His problem is that he is 6.6 and not 6.8. And Brunson is cooking a lot of defenders so there is no reason to talk down Nesmith.
I'm just saying it's nothing special to highlight. It's kinda weird they're spotlighting a players defense on a clearly injured player who's lost his first step and speed right now. I just feel it's disingenuous for them to act like it's stellar defense when it's more about Brunson being injured that's all.

I think the Knicks were due for a "poor" offensive game. Better to have it up 2-1 when it happens going back home for Game 5.
