This has been the best playoffs I can remember. These last two Knicks games have been unbelievable! If they can pull this off my heart might explode!
I'm in utter disbelief the Knicks are on the verge of knocking off the Celtics in the playoffs. Boston looked close to unbeatable during the regular season I thought they were the best team. Should the Knicks knock off Boston the team that knocked them out last season Indiana will likely be standing in their way of the Finals. This could be the year the Knicks end their championship drought?
Don't want to jinx it, but it's been fun! Even more so now that my best friend's daughter is now a Knicks City Dancer, so their whole family is fired up too....
Left to their own accord no way the Knicks beat the Pacers. But there is no way the NBA allows an OKC/Minn vs Indiana Finals. The Knicks will be ushered right to the Finals by the NBA, an epic collapse against the Celtics not withstanding (which is a very real possibility).
To lose the series after 3-1 after the Celtics lost their biggest star is almost unfathomable. Knicks have to clinch the series tonight in front of the home fans. Imagine the Knicks win it all? After the Liberty won it all last season. NY would be the basketball capital of the world.
A WOW first half by the Knicks. It's beautiful to watch. Bring on the Pacers. It will be a tough series they eliminated the Knicks last year they know it the Knicks know it. Or do they? Towns wasn't here, Bridges wasn't here last season. We'll see what we'll see.
Good for the Knicks, but the Celtics sucked this year. Championship hangover. It's a bad look for the NBA they were the 2 seed, they just are poorly coached and motivated.
Knicks were due for a good game. Hopefully they can keep it up next series, but if they struggle through large stretches like they did against the Pistons and Celtics they will need the NBA to work their desired outcome magic the NBA always gets.
I was skeptical on Towns, but admittedly I didn’t watch him too much so I may have had misconceptions. I also really liked Hartenstein so I was projecting a little but damn Towns is kinda the man. Him and Bridges are tough dudes and works well with Thibs, a tough coach
Can't wait for the Pacers gentlemen! Last year it was Brunson a fractured hand and the rest of the team was Walgreens baggers. We are healthy 1, We have the best defensive line up the league has 2, and it just seems right we close line Haliburton 3 and stop his showboating . The Pacers are the most fickle team if you play them with toughness Also fuck the Celtics we should all be so happy
No, dumb is not knowing players are more important than teams to NBA fans. The NBA’s popularity is driven by fair weather fandom, and nobody has given a fuck about the Knicks from a player standpoint for decades so there’s been no reason for the NBA to favor them. Brunson might change that, but if the Knicks weren’t so historically incompetent at luring superstars to them that are meaningful on a national level the NBA would have walked right to an NBA Championship long ago. So embarrassingly ignorant.
i… don’t follow So are they rigging game for the Knicks now for the first time in 50 years? Do the Pacers know this?
Halliburton is a pretty big star. If the NBA is rigging games for players, why wouldn’t they just rig it for him? or better yet if they are staging things for big name players why would they let Lebron, Doncic, Curry, Tatum, and Giannis ALL lose? Im thinking that was just a terribly stupid take
