[Russo] New York Knicks have won 7 consecutive road playoff games in this postseason, which is now one shy of tying the all-time NBA record for a single playoff run. The record is 8, by the 2001 Los Angeles Lakers.
The Knicks haven’t lost a game since April
At this point I think they’ve just forgotten how to lose.
Kenny Atkinson must be thinking they can’t keep getting away with this. BUT MY ANALYTICS SAY THIS ISN’T POSSIBLE
I don’t know what you are talking about.
He is currently planning for game 7 as we speak. It’s not over analytically. Even though some people like to look at the results. Not Kenny Atkinson… he is all about the analytics and not reality.
He’s just ahead of the curve. Why prepare for reality when we as a society are moving beyond it?
Kenny will lead a dynasty in the AINBA
In games where we didn’t lose by a point, we’re the ‘72 Dolphins.
Analytically, we’re the ‘08 Lions.
Hey now. The Browns went 0-16 too.
Even worse, they went 1-31 over two seasons and still brought the HC back to start the following season.
I have to know if the Spurs won game 1 analytically
This is like what I thought this team would be like last year lol. On paper have probably the best starting five in the league. Crazy it’s come together now
I can’t believe this is my life
I failed physics in the 12th grade because I would stay up late watching Andrea Bargnani stink things up for 82 games. What the fuck is going on
I will never forget Air Bargs trying to dunk from the free throw line and breaking into two million pieces.
Insert Buzz Light year’s sad music when he’s trying to “fly” to the window from Toy Story 1…
WHAT IS HE DOING FOLKS
“WHAT IS HE DOING FOLKS”
well what about the other 20 years before this 🤣
This knicks team is the truth
True, they called game
I just want them to win for Clyde and Mike Breen, they deserve this, all old Knicks fans deserve watch their team get one in their lifetimes.
People swore it was only cause we played in a weak conference though
Because teams go on the most dominant 11 game win streak by point differential in NBA history in the playoffs all the time!!! /s
Those mfs are quiet now
They actually are it’s pretty hilarious. They were EVERYWHERE the other day. They’ll be back if we lose one game, even if it’s game 4 after going up 3-0 lmao
They were everywhere last night in the game thread for 3 quarters lol
Yeah I’m sure, but I was actually watching the game then lol
Wouldn’t that fact (weak conference) give said team an advantage over an adversary that had to face tougher challenges to reach the same level … ?
Like the series MVP for the chip in 2026 might be OKC lol
Well duh. The point is that haters would much rather downplay one of the most dominant stretches of basketball in NBA history and just chalk it up to weak competition and not give the Knicks the credit they deserve.
Dude every top comment on every thread is someone like you. You DID play in a weak conference. It’s still the greatest offensive stretch by any team every regular or postseason. No one is remotely doubting that. If you sweep the Spurs you solidify it. But who are “people” everyone has been hyping the fuck out of this Knicks run like crazy. Like no one is a hater even spurs fans glazed the Knicks this playoffs.
But like the spurs are still a first time playoff team full of rookies who just beat the defending champs. Hopefully we get another banger 7 games
Knicks played one bad team (Cavs) while played a Hawks team that were good post all stars and Philly who beat the favorites (Boston)
Spurs played one great team (OKC though they were weakened) and two bad teams Portland and Timberwolves
Stop it
The wolves are a better playoff team than any of those 3 teams from the east. The rest of your point is whatever but if you think the wolves are a bad team just give up watching this sport
dominant run
They are playing at an elite level. Some teams just click at the right time. Similar to the ‘11 Mavs, ‘25 pacers etc. whole is greater than the parts
Jalen Brunson is in his 2007 LeBron bag
The 2025 Haliban
They’ve been on hell of a run
Another double digit win. As everyone expected.
ALL YALL IDIOTS WHO SAID SPURS WAS SWEEPING COME OUTSIDE AND TALK NOW WHATS GOOD
Their all fucking idiots
The irony in this post is hilarious.
That’s how you get more idiots. Idiots fucking idiots.
They’re
those people have negative ball knowledge cause everyone with half a brain cell agreed that if the spurs beat the thunder, the finals would be so much better because the knicks are an even match up for them.
The knicks are so weird because they were just pretty good during the regular season and now all of a sudden look nearly unbeatable
New coach means a lot of experimenting. When the games had more meaning to them, we saw what happened in the NBA cup. Still though this looks like an entirely different team during this win streak
They always rise to the occasion in the playoffs, Brunson of course, Mikal and OG too. Now KAT is doing well, their rotations are doing well, its a different team. No one thought they’d beat the Celtics last year either, and they did that.
The Atlanta game was the catalyst. We had Kat be the point man during the season experimenting but after that game 3 loss we kicked it into high gear with that action and haven’t looked back
We’re looking at them with a full season together with the new system. It’s not unique either. The Spurs look way better than they did in the fall- Harper is essentially a second year player now, Castle a third year player, etc.
We were good but back in January specially, the team was down on their luck with KAT being underutilized and mad about it, Mikal being way too passive, Hart with inconsistent shooting and Brunson not looking good.
It took a players meeting to actually get the ball rolling, before that it looked that the Knicks could actually slide in the standings down to the 5th or 6th seed.
Confused bc I was told it was bc Harden played bad, not because of Knicks good defense on him, 36 yo Harden just bad and that is only reason why the Knicks won
I mean that’s also true
Stop talking Rockets flair. I know Harden payed your moms tuition when he was there but just stop please
Didn’t the Spurs have a similar kind of consecutive wins run during the 1999 Finals? Now turned, have the tables.
They had 7
Easiest way to win is to forget how to lose.
Just out-dawg the other team and good things might happen, other than that try to find the open man and pray Wemby is late to contest your shot.
Whatever that fan said to Brunson really got to him
If you take the crowd into account, can you really say the Knicks have even played 7 consecutive road games? MVP chants at the line on the road in the Finals is insane.
Knicks just scorching hot
Wait, are we good now?
No, Spurs are just on fraud watch because they lost to the KNICKS
Ah a narrative that allows for every team to be ass. Egalitarian hating
Seems like we might have something going here…
Is the East still terrible?
Sucks they can’t break the record cause KNICKS IN FO!
Well rested teams have the advantage.
Ya jinxed it Russo
The Warriors won 8 in 2017. Am I misreading this? Their only loss that post season was at home in the finals.
7 They had hca. 2 in round 1-3 rand 1 in game 3 of the final. Lost game 4 in Cleveland
2018 warriors never did that despite how STACKED that team was?
2017 warriors lost game 4 in Cleveland and it was their only loss that postseason. 7 straight road wins.
Spurs in 4
Money is still on Spurs. See yall after game 6.
That money gone, trust me I suck at gambling
actually it’s not
