YEAAAAHHHH KNICKS!!
Boston choked a 20 point lead at home.
Again!
Fuck them, they deserve to lose both of those games and I can’t wait for the next two at MSG even though home teams are 0-6 so far in 2nd round as of this post.

Is this where Arenas and him were getting into it in the locker room and Gilbert pulled out multiple guns and laid them out and said “choose one”?

Gotta watch this ASAP, thanks for heads up.

It started with gambling on a plane and that’s where it escalated.

Take a bow, Mikal. Ending two games on the defending champ's floor by straight-up mugging their two superstars like that... That's exactly what we traded all those picks for.

I said it after game one, and 'll double down now: I still think Boston can handily win the next four. But this is already much more than I dared to hope for.

Knicks stealing 2 in Boston is making me feel better about them taking out the Pistons. Loving these quarter final series!

Wow that was a really good game last night. Both teams are great- but the Knicks being under by 20 and then fighting and clawing their way back in it to win the game by 1 point was exciting as hell.
OKC had a phenomenal game last night too.

Exactly how i feel about losing to the dubs.... See how the wolves respond though esp with Curry out.

Nice weekend slot of games..

Sucks curry cannot play at least for the next few games. Wolves really need to fumble it to lose this series.

IDK, but am concerned about his longevity in the playoffs. Oh yeah, he's 24 years old, hes good.

OKC might be cooked. Losing with Jokic playing that poorly at home is hard to come back from. Shai kept chucking up dumbass shots down the stretch. When you've missed the last 10, why take the 11th when JDub is carrying the squad. Happy for Aaron Gordon and Russ but fuck man the Thunder are in a bad spot. You can tell they're the youngest squad in the NBA too. They can look so dangerous then just freeze up and lose all momentum/flow. It's pretty frustrating and confusing to watch. Big game 4.

I still guess so but it good to see they are not unbeatable... imagine nuggets vs wolves and pacers vs knicks as conference finals. Now that would be unexpected and fun

4 points, 5 assists, and zero rebounds in 30 minutes for Haliburton. How would you rate that, Tyrese?

Great win for the Nugs. If they win the bad Jokic games it's trouble for OKC.

I honestly thought the Nuggets might get bludgeoned after getting banged right over the head like that in the last game. The game could have gone either way but major props for showing up like this after that drubbing.

I still think about “I fucking want to stay on parade” daily.

Also I love Aaron Gordon so god damn much. He’s perfect. MPJ finally showed up too bum shoulder and all. Nugs in 6.

Felt bad for Jokic this game. Reminded me of all those deflating skate sessions where you can't even land your go-to's lol. Aaron Gordon is solid. Happy to see Russ playing the way he is aswell.

Huge Pacers fan. Went to game 5 vs. Milwaukee and couldn’t have been more hyped from how that ended. However….. for all of the shit Tyrese talks he has to show up. He didn’t even try to score last night. Just made a bunch of bad decisions and looked like he wanted to be anywhere else. Didn’t even speak with the media afterwards. Terrible look for a “star” player. Props to the Cavs. Mitchell is the truth.

Had a feeling the Celtics were going to ball out today but didn’t dream of an ass whooping of this magnitude, holy shit the game was over in the first quarter.

When a white boy can come off the bench and make as many three pointers as your entire team you are officially fucked, Pritchard was a monster today.

Hats off to the C’s they didn’t abandon the three and it worked for them in spades and Knicks had no answer for it all day.

Hope they get their shit together and get this home split because if it ends up being 2-2 going back to Boston the Knicks might just be effed in the A.

Well that worked out pretty perfectly for the Mavs…almost too perfectly
