I was a Mike Brown hater and boy was I wrong

the KAT offensive hub scheme and the knicks moved away from it fast.

you can’t do that offense when Hart isn’t being guarded. Even Brunson is having a harder time cause Allen just roaming to help.

Once Hart starts making shots, its all over and everything starts working

Man as a Timberwolves fan, im so happy for KAT. Rooting for him.

Yup. One thing brown does is he does adjust typically which is nice

Knicks are just a better team, their still not shooting well and still beating the Cavs, what’s gonna happens when they get hot from three?

just looked at my PF and sighed

lol Kenny no adjustment got fucked when he saw that.

I’m so happy everybody is turning it on for this playoff run. They know what’s at stake this year.

His efficiency from the midrange makes him such a key in the playoffs.

Mikal has been so good these playoffs, I’m glad he’s showing out because the 5 picks was definitely worth it imo

I think my favorite ‘go to move’ by any single player in the NBA is Bridges flash across the lane, two dribbles fadeaway jumper at the elbow of free throw line. Thing looks automatic every time it leaves his hand 

He’s proven to be a playoff riser his entire career and our fans continue to be surprised by him being really good in the playoffs lol it’s wild

When all 3 of the Knicks wings are scoring well they are extremely difficult to beat

Brunson had 14 assist to the cavaliers 15 as a team

[removed]

And today our bench really struggled to have a positive impact but our starters outscored their whole rotation despite Jalen only scoring less than 20

Two decades of darkness following 1999 (well okay 2000).

Alonzo Trier was actually kinda fun for a little while. How about Phil Jackson saying Travis Wear had all the tools to be a solid player? Painful times

For me its Enes Kanter just getting cooked over and over on defense that shit will fuck me up forever

So much coping about guys like Kevin Knox, Alonzo Trier, Willy Hernangomez, etc.

Fizdale’s shit-eating grin is burned permanently into my memory.

The only current Knicks I have jerseys of are Pacome, Kolek, and hart. I like spinning wheels to pick the ones I get

diabolical

The other stat is the past 3 winners of the eastern conference lost in the ECF the year before.

Guess who lost in the ECF last year

Good stat

a bluecheese999 typa stat

Knicks have won 9 straight playoff games *after* Danhausen uncursed them

Mobley was great in the first half, but was basically nonexistent in the 2nd.

Edit: Turns out he didn’t take a single shot in the 2nd half. Incredible

This series is not toxic enough for my liking

It was over after they blew the lead in game 1. You don’t come back from something like that.

This was hilarious. They had the early bonus advantage and just handed it right back to us. 

And when his team gave up an 18-0 run to just stand there picking his ass

I feel like this hack a shaq style is getting less effective as the league gets better talent through the years because even if you disrupt a teams rhythm by fouling a weak shooter you’re risking putting your team in the bonus with guys who can use those free throws to get hot. Even without that you have to start playing much less physical ball because you worry about fouling and sending guys to the line.

That was an incredible sequence I busted out laughing

He copied it from Mazzula last year lol

Cavs changed their strategy and made other knicks beat them phew

Brunson is having a great series already

He’s finally learning to not resort to iso ball and it’s glorious

¹⁄₁₅ from three lmaoooo

shi hurts man. like in my chest i feel sick

its ugly

His thumb went up very deep inside Cleveland crack tonight.

Cruise control regular season + gelling under a new coach. No one else had as deep a rotation as them on paper & it’s showing now

I remember looking at the east as a sixers fan and thinking the same thing. I knew we sucked, no Tatum for the Cs, and the Milwaukee Antetokounmpo’s were the same. The Pistons to me never made any sense because Cade just is the team and the Cavs I figured would be about the same till harden.

The Knicks are just incredibly deep in talent, have a great starting 5, and their chemistry is just leagues above everyone else. Josh legit is the heart of the team, Brunson does normal shit, KAT is so versatile, and that OG trade was an absolute steal. Mikal was always the last piece to get right and now that he’s scoring it’s hard to say they aren’t in their final form.

We were trying to tell you guys all season.

Fuck them picks!

Used to pray for times like this

Yerrrrr

Harden, on the other hand, finds them too bright. He prefers darker environments… with music and dancers 😂

Ty finally someone with sense. Was crazy hearing everyone saying Cavs, pistons, Celtics were better when it just wasn’t close at all

The Cavs had an insane whistle in this game and the refs gave nothing to the Knicks. 32 FTs to the 14 for Knicks including when they hacked Mitch multiple times and the Cavs still lost easily by double digits.

No one has been on our level in the East.

Going into this series we’re top 3 def rating and good for 2 off rating on par with OKC. Theres a significant drop off to the next best which is the Spurs. Cavs weren’t even top 5 off rating.

We need all players to do that when they suck in the first half

He’s the X factor

This could very well a sweep while Spurs/OKC is 7 game war. Knicks could really be slept on as winning the finals.

Josh Hart career game

They really learned a lot from that pacers series last year

ehhh they lost 2 against the Hawks. tho that series should’ve been a sweep

lost twice to the Hawks but the last three games of that series made it a spiritual sweep so ill allow it

“Finding ways to lose” is really just the Cavs this postseason, barring random spurts of brilliance. Team is very prone to collapse and negative momentum, idk if it’s coaching or player leadership or what

Thunder, Spurs and Knicks have been rock paper scissors all year.

Knicks beat Spurs. Spurs beat Thunder. Thunder beat Knicks.

The Knicks can beat anyone but the NBA media and fans have a weird obsession with the West always being better by default 

Unfortunately that might mean another rusty game 1 but the “good” thing if that happens is A) Shai seems to be bad Game 1s if its OKC and B) we’ll be on the road either way so its not like we’ll lose home court like what would have happened this series.

knicks can easily come out rusty. look how they looked in game 1.

It was horrible offensively for 3 ¹⁄₂ quarters.

Tons of misses simply because they missed (not forced to miss).

Rust.

Rest, but rust.

You can’t sleep on OKC for even 1 quarter.

This team is way better than the 99 team, which I did love
