NFT: KNICKS VS CELTICS - Time to clinch HC / 4th seed

that was a real double team

best player has come up small when you need him most, this shit wont fly in the playoffs..

Team playing like they could juat roll the ball out and win, absolute trash performance win or lose

Now they have to foul. Knicks get fortunate there

Team needs to play MUCH better next week.

FT.

Ugly...ugly win.

Thank goodness the Knicks weren't playing the full Celtics team, they clinch home court advantage. Much harder than it needed to be!

much needed 5 days rest before game 1 because this team played with zero eneegy today

Or it's going to be a quick playoff bounce out.

Far from their best. Just win baby! They won the three in a row to get to the four.

Time to move on to ATL and some rest.
This team is tired and battle test.
Let's do some damage in the Playoffs!

But it's hard to be in a celebratory mood after that near atrocity lol

Ball fakes. Getting guys off their feet. Not really a great athlete but just a fundamentally sound player

in 5 or 6 days.

Assuming the Nets win, the Bucks will play the Heat, the Nets will play the winner of Boston/Washington, and the Sixers will play the 8 seed after the play in

Washington beats Charlotte and gets the 8th seed. They will play Boston. Indiana plays Charlotte in the 9 vs. 10 eliminator.

NY16
You gotta relax this is Knicks basketball, nothing easy.
Knicks had one of the toughest schedules in the league and won 41 games.
Thibs has 5 days to get ready for ATL and the team will get some rest.
It's been a long season, they have played a ton of minutes.

and get the 7 seed to most likely play the Nets

OT win back to back 1p games. I'm not too concerned with today's performance. Some of you guys need to relax. Some Chicken Little shit going on. They played poorly and still won wire to wire.

Take it down several notches. The man is exhausted. They all were.

They’ll have ample rest between now and game 1.

happens from this point I'm proud of this team and the way they worked hard and became better players and a better team. And they're a pretty young team, so the future is bright.

If i am the nets id be nervous about that, nets still win but the Wizarss have played mich better and with Beal and Westbrook anything can happen

but the constant giving up leads is infuriating..

anyway lets goo bring on the Hawks

So hornets play Washington
Celtics play Indiana.

Atlanta is locked in the 5
Miami is the 6.

Playoff match ups set

Now the fun starts

#LFGK!!!!

The guy has to be playing on fumes. Now he will have the little time to get his body some much needed rest. He will be ready for the start of the playoffs. This team wouldn’t be anywhere without him, and even when gassed and playing poorly he often leads the team in most key stats for the game.

I love the Knicks chances to win the first round at least.

Dubs here.

Hornets play the Pacers
Wizards play the Celtics. I think the Wizards got up to the 8th seed with that win

I am taking Heat. Prove me wrong Milwaukee.

We beat them twice early when they were struggling, and a third time because Young sprained his ankle in the second half, but I like our chances. Should be fun!

The playoffs are going to be awesome.

Y’all should listen to bricktop here. Knicks have played a ton the last 2 weeks...6 game west coast trip, followed by 3 in 4 days to close the regular season this weekend, none of which were games they could take their foot off the pedal.

They got gassed in the 4th, but their best players still made enough plays to close it out. Nothing to lose our shit over

Let’s step back and appreciate the moment here...Knicks just finished 41-31, #4 seed in the playoffs, in a funky season that included a lot of games crammed into a short schedule. However long a run we manage, we’re no doubt a team nobody wants to play. Fucking amazing, considering what Knicks basketball has been for 20 years!!!

You are right ESPN is slow on the jump.

mfsd...awesome season. I sure as hell didn't see it coming. Now let's go fuck up Trae & the Hawks.

(Already mentally prepping for losing my mind over calls Young will get.)

Haha no doubt re: Trae

Crazy to think the Knicks had to go like 16-4 or so to get this 4 seed. And they did.

Now we get to sit back and relax while the lesser slobs battle it out in the play in round. Enjoy.

There's no need for posts like this. There's not a die hard in here that is deliriously proud of this team and excited for the playoffs. In the heat of the moment sure we post stuff. I put an lol at the end of mine. Hard to watch the last 6 minutes of that game and not be upset in the moment. Of course now 30 minutes later were happy as can be. As for B, he's a great poster but he's has his share of angry posts in game threads for all the teams too ha ha.

I would take Wiz over Cs right now.

Tibbs deserves Coach of the Year, Randle deserves Most Improved, and Rose deserves the Sixth Man award

I would love if Thibs won COY but I think Monty Williams wins it. Randle definitely wins MIP.

In the east coming into the 2nd half of the season.
At .515

I love Curry. Helluva player. Wins NBA Scoring Title.

All fair man...wasn’t directed at you or anyone personally, more of a general let’s chill and enjoy the moment. You’re right, game threads are for venting emotions as much as anything.

My point was, considering how tough the home stretch schedule was, I’m not surprised they looked worn out today, but they still took care of business the last 3 games, even if it wasn’t pretty.

On to the playoffs, let’s go Knicks!!

Celtics fan here. I actually think it would be best if they did. But this Celtics team is liable to find the defense energy they ve been lacking all season, bubble team fatigue, in a play in game.
