NFT: KNICKS VS LAKERS 10PM

What a mess

holy shit. I've never seen a big so consistently and extremely mistime his jumps for rebounds/tip-ins

If Beal is healthy.

No question. This fina 4-game draw for them was cake w/ no beal. Trae Young has a horseshoe up both his ass and his vagina

.

3-0 to get that 4 seed

Hawks are finishing 4 or 5 depending on what we do.

They are facing 3 reeling teams at home. SA on a back to back, Charlotte then a Celtic team that will be sitting people getting ready for the play in. We've had a great year now let's finish this and host game 1 vs the Hawks next week.

I know I'm in minority, but I'd rather play ATL in first round than the Heat.

I don't think you're in the minority on this one, bud.

No one wants to see Miami after what they did in the bubble and they definitely have the Knicks number.
Welp either way we made the playoffs without the play-in game.
Which is tremendous considering what was expected this season.

Just win the next 3

They're 3-0 against Atlanta and 0-3 against the Heat this year.

So would I

every fan would prefer that we face them

I would give them a real chance to beat Atlanta.

Knicks officially in!!

through the darkest times in franchise history.

would be an absolute dog fight, slow pace possession by possession, 85-80 type games..

Hawks spread you out shoot a ton of 3s, they scare the crap out of me..

Id rather play a team that plays the same pace, i know the games will be close and anything can happen

Yeah, feels good. Even better for being so unexpected.

We've seen them handle Atlanta though. Nothing about them scares me. I'm not saying the Knicks sweep but that's not a team I'm scared of.

Adebayo can guard Randle 1 on 1 and that simply breaks the Knicks offense.

For a long time now each year that I bought GamePass about a month in I would think to myself, why do I keep doing it?

Watching through the bad times always makes the wins of a turnaround so much sweeter, and this season has been especially fun. My daughter has watched every game with me, and Randle is her favorite player (and yes,we actually liked him last season)so we have had a lot of fun together!

Nice!

We will play whomever they put in front of us. And we will play well.

We are in the playoffs!

BTW LeBron didn't play again tonight I think the Lakers are full of shit about him being 100%

PLAYOFFS! HELL YES!

Tonight...beat the Spurs & root for the 76ers/Magic.

Steve Knicks games have become must see tv events in my house with my 13 yo son and 16 yo daughter. It is a blast. The Clydisms, complaining about Elfie the ups and downs it's been great. God bless my son he even believed starting with opening night vs Indiana. My daughter calls the out of control RJ drives to the hoop his Thomas the Tank engine drives, and now we've all adopted it. When he pulls one we're like there goes Thomas again! When your kids come of age to really enjoy it with you and get all the inside jokes and banter nothing is better.

We all yell out "the court is 50 feet wide, but not wide enough!" 😂🤣

game, yeah we want the 4 or 5 seed, but with the Knicks clinching i feel like there is less pressure

and all the great NYK fans here.

It's a good feeling and the arrow seems to be pointing up, up, up.

Stu
Great comments
my son 12 and daughter 13 both play pretty competitive basketball.
The whole family looks forward to Knicks games it has become event.
We live in St. Louis and they are final proud to wear their knicks gear to school and the comments are "have you always been a Knicks fan"
Took them to the Memphis game and it was amazing since they both understand the game and were so into it.
Lasting memories
Enjoy it Stu!!!

Larry that's great. I'm sure you alm had a blast at that one. Yeah my daughter has been a sports nut since like 7 or 8. We've been to million Yankee games but don't get out to the Garden much. Try to go once a year pre covid. Her favorite in person moments have been Garden moments despite the Knicks being so bad much of her life. She still remembers going to game 4 vs Miami when we were down 3-0 lol. It's so fun to see them get as excited as I do. Sunday the housexwas rocking vs the Clippers!

There have been some difficult times and the KP trade was really hard for him. We live in CT and all his friends are d-bag Celtics fans.

We are enjoying a really fun season. He's enjoying thanking his Celtics fan friends for helping the Knicks out with the loss. It's a beautiful day today.

I think we can do well vs. Atl, Miami and even Milwaukee. Nets and Philly we will have major problems.

Atlanta will be tough and I know I will get ripped for this, but Frank should play major minutes if it’s atlanta, he has owned Trae young in the past. You shutdown Trae young and atlanta is nothing special. His length will bother young. Haven’t been posting as much lately and Frank has had some horrible games, but he played really well defensively the other night, as good as it gets on the defensive end. I’m not just talking steaks/blocks. His aggressiveness and help defense caused multiple turnovers and he can hit the open 3.

I would not rest anyone until we are locked into the 6th spot.
I would much rather play in the 4/5 series even against Miami than play the Bucks in the first round.

After tonight it will be much clearer.
If Miami loses to the 76ers it will open the door to the 4th seed.

Once the hawks won those 2 gimmes at home the worst they can finish is 5th. So we finish neither 4th, 5th or 6th. When the Hawks win those 2 there is no way that that Miami and us finish 4th and 5th.

Still have a shot at the 4 seed if they win out - which is totally possible. Resting anyone at this point is completely counterproductive.

Nvm misread your post

Ooof typos galore. Should read:

The Celts have completely cashed in their regular season chips. They play Saturday. They will probably rest Kemba and Tatum to get ready for the play-in Tuesday.

Spurs are always tough, they are trying to hold on for the last spot in the play in and we are beat up.

Celtics lock in the 7th seed with a win against Minny, they will rest everyone.
Hornets will still be battling to get the 8th seed especially if the lose to the Clippers tonight but I think we are too much for them

always difficult. Plus, the Knicks are banged up and didn’t get much time to rest. Tonight will be a real gut check.

Absolutely. It would really be helpful to get IQ and Burks back tonight to give the team an adrenaline boost.
