Just play brute basketball, orange and blue brothership.

don’t counter jinx it ! you’re at home and your guys will be boiling, it’s gonna be either super fun or a battlefield

Cmon everyone knows the playoffs are different. It’s super impressive that the Spurs have OKC’s number so far, but they also gotta prove it when it counts.

Don’t forget the Suns went undefeated against the Wolves before getting swept by them in round 1 a few years ago. Also (and I hate admitting it because there are a multitude of excuses I could use) Celtics 4-0’d the Knicks in the regular season last year before losing to them in 6 games.

Playoff experience counts as playoff experience. Nothing else.

By emergency I mean , taking this spurs team seriously. I like shai, want him to succeed

the wolves didnt hv a 7’6 monster like the spurs do

Yeah it’s common in playoffs where a team loses 2 in a row then just destroys the opponent totally for example. it wont mean much until the “series” is over but its 1 game

I’ll add to this by saying that one piece of chatter in the Knicks community rn is how the team played a lot of games in a short span bc of the Cup and then the normal schedule afterwards is either every other day or back to backs for at least a few weeks. We rested a different set of guys a few games before this as well.

So we’re pretty sure Brunson and OG were just taking some rest to be fresh for the Christmas Day game, hence the designation of “injury management” on their injury reports. Obviously doesn’t help that McBride and Shamet, two bench rotation guys, are actually injured. So we had to play the end of our end of bench guys against the Wolves and they kind of sucked, as expected. Was great to see KAT gain some confidence going for 40 though and Kolek looked really solid in his first career start. Bro flirted with a triple-double.

I think we can expect the Knicks to be fully healthy tomorrow minus McBride, who is said to be close and Shamet, who is probably out a few more weeks.
