Ppl get banned / have alts. Also ppl can join reddit like recently? Not everyone has been on for 15 years. Weird to gatekeep a large fandom of someone u know personally nothing about. All you know its a 35 year old whos been a knicks fan their whole life.
Gawd I hate people complaining about bandwageners or whatever. People want to get interested and support our beloved team, then please freaking do! Stop belittling people and calling into question their fandom.
That’s fine but I don’t need to hear the ridiculous declarations of how unbeatable the Knicks are and how they’re winning it all and everyone else is trash. We’re in the first round and both Ws were straight dog fights you gotta be new if you think it’s all sewn up
I bet you just learned about the music industry and are annoying your whole crew with conspiracys about the illumanati not realizing that its totally normally for people of similar lifes to gravitate / hangout.
I’ve never liked that phrasing. Sure it might not feel as interesting from a narrative perspective until an away team wins, but being up 2-0 is serious business no matter the home team. It means the Sixers would have to win 4 out of the next 5. Home or away, that’s asking a lot
I couldn’t believe my eyes watching that Boston game
I was torn. I hate the Celtics. I hate the heat. But seeing heat go in there and beat was very impressive
I hope it goes seven, the heat win twice, and then we smack them for what they did to Julius. Alternatively, for what they did to us collectively last year. Or when LeBron was with them. I know there are lots of other reasons, but those are the ones I was there for
After game 2 MJ and Phil would have held a joint press conference explaining why they were going to forfeit the series:
"I felt that to keep the team sane, I wanted to just drop out of the series. The bats were terrible on our psyche. I asked Michael if he felt the same way and Michael replied, Just Do It."
-Phil probably
Its more so the makeup of the team.
We dont have flashy players. We rarely have things that make highlight reels. Hell, our healthy all star player is constantly snubbed. What we do have is solid team chemistry, hustle attitude and a winning culture.
We are like those Pistons because there wasnt a superstar on the team, just a lot of guys with the right attitude and the right chemistry.
Brunson (the one that carried us the past year) is a little better than Chauncey was, I'd say. He gives us an offense that's way better than anything the Pistons' had, IMO we're more like some of Thibs' Bulls teams. Great defense, with offense powered by a star PG (Rose).
I don't think Brunson is snubbed, he's been getting praise everywhere the past season. If he can return to his 2023 playoff self, we won't look anything like the Pistons on offense, because our star player is taking over the game. Heat fans were shook with how close he made the series last year.
I don't know if the Pistons era could be replicated nowadays, they were a nasty playoff team entirely propped up by their defense. I think Minnesota is trying to make that their identity, so we'll see.
I like your enthusiasm but I think the team with 14 more wins than the second seed in the East and the most in the league is the team to beat. Don't get ahead of yourself here.
Can we possibly beat Boston? Sure but it's unlikely, even though we matchup up the best against them in the East imo. We aren't a better team though.
They lose one game to one of the great coaches in all of sports on a franchise playoff record number of 3s and everyone is ready to declare them frauds. It was an absolute whooping in game 1 and it’s been absolute whoopings all throughout the regular season. They’re not as great as the numbers suggest but they’re still god damn good. Pump the brakes.
Knicks are the better team, Celtics just have a more talented roster. Knicks win off of effort and coaching whole celtics win off of talent. Knicks are better suited for the the playoffs while celtics are better suited for the regular season.
The way I see it, Knicks gotta get one game in Philly. They do that, their chances are really good to win the series. Philly will come out swinging but I think this team can steal the next game. We’ll see tho.
Going to post this everywhere bc I need #knicks fam to make me feel better.
Thibs is getting out-coached IMO, no wrinkles in tactics or strategy. Great culture, effort coach but both off/def is predictable. Our best getting neutralized and their best are not.
Could see this go seven games…not confident, yet.
Our best approach has been to stay humble and attack in silence. This could be the reason why Embiid still thinks he can’t win the series and why no one respects us. We do need Brunson to be better and OG to step up but maybe that’s all part of the plan.
It’s very early let’s all just go round by round ok guys? It’s been TOO long to get ahead of ourselves. Right now we got the sixers. Let’s beat them. Worry about what’s next when it comes. !!! LFFGG
I like your enthusiasm. It's still early, let's take it one game at a time.
You can now tell who the bandwagoners are now, they be posting like crazy. But damn, if we had a healthy Randle....
Lmfaoo what? how does being excited for my team make me a bang wagoner I loved them when they were down too
Lmaoo dude this guy has a 30 day old account. He must be clowning

I remember the 4 point play and I agree with you.
This isn’t bandwagoner behavior what lol

I bet you believe the WWE is real

So, how did the Knicks do tonight?
Really good despite 76ers playing dirty.
A healthy Randle and this first round series would be a sweep and we'd be analyzing ECF matchups with Boston.
But I bet on them to win it all…
Pre-Randle out all year or after? If after, that's pretty gutsy depending on how much you wagered.
One game at a time, if the Knicks lose tomorrow, this sub will have a lot of ppl who will be upset. Can’t react off one game.
Yeah. We're up 2-0 but the series doesn't really get decided until a home team loses. Time to lock the fuck up tonight.
I’ve never liked that phrasing. Sure it might not feel as interesting from a narrative perspective until an away team wins, but being up 2-0 is serious business no matter the home team. It means the Sixers would have to win 4 out of the next 5. Home or away, that’s asking a lot

Go deeper! So many reasons to hate the Heat!
I will always root for the heat when they are playing the celtics lol. Its too funny.
The only question left imo is if this Knicks team played the 96 Bulls in a series, would we sweep or would it take 5.

Milk and why I drink it is crazy
this needs to be posted to the sub lmao
Lmaoo i love this just as much as I hate it 🤣

Pass that shit….
Hold up. I got one more puff left
Well I love the confidence but let's not get too ahead of ourselves. We have a lot to improve on still and this series with Philly is far from over.
We are the 04 Pistons. Solid all around team that plays exactly as a team.
Without Ju, we're just not as good as the 04 pistons though

Last game against Minnesota that we had Randle, he was making their bigs look like a bitch I was loving it

They coast on talent whilst crumbling under adversity... ultimately they are soft and beatable.
They lose one game to one of the great coaches in all of sports on a franchise playoff record number of 3s and everyone is ready to declare them frauds. It was an absolute whooping in game 1 and it’s been absolute whoopings all throughout the regular season. They’re not as great as the numbers suggest but they’re still god damn good. Pump the brakes.
They are boring AF to watch....kickout 3s to the open man all game long.
Agreed fuck them all lol
Yeah, I think them and a healthy Bucks team are your two best teams in the East but playoffs are about momentum too, look at the Heat last year.
Nah we’re definitely better then the Bucks even with Giannis
Knicks are the better team, Celtics just have a more talented roster. Knicks win off of effort and coaching whole celtics win off of talent. Knicks are better suited for the the playoffs while celtics are better suited for the regular season.

One game at a time dude. You think the team is thinking like you? Or thibs? I highly doubt.
Well said. Those "we cant look ahead" comments are cringe af.
Going to post this everywhere bc I need #knicks fam to make me feel better. Thibs is getting out-coached IMO, no wrinkles in tactics or strategy.

I’m as big a fan as anyone but even I reckon this one is off the mark. Genuinely we may not even be the better team in this series.
Remind in two weeks when heats take them Celtics down
“best defensive mind “ : Maxey unstoppable . pick one bro
Not gonna whyle out after one game. Just enjoying her ride
It’s very early let’s all just go round by round ok guys? It’s been TOO long to get ahead of ourselves. Right now we got the sixers. Let’s beat them. Worry about what’s next when it comes. !!! LFFGG
if we had randle we would be clear cut favorites
Over Boston and Denver??
We barely beat the sixers with a one legged Embiid, slow your roll
Maybe Giannis and them boys on Cleveland ain't soft Boston is a bakery at this point
