totally agree. was lukewarm at the time we were supposedly in contention for them to join us.

KD almost looks washed up.

I don't understand why people are rooting against them & Brooklyn in the Celtic series- No Knick fan should ever root for Boston.

The biggest mismatch of this series is in the coaching box. Ime Udoka is dominating. This is Phil Jackson vs. John Calipari. Joe Torre vs. Grady Little. Bill Parcells vs. Rich Kotite. It’s become embarrassing. Brooklyn’s offense is a steady diet of isolations. Movement is minimal. They set screens to create switches, but in those situations Boston’s defense doesn’t miss a beat.

Nash’s job security wasn’t in question coming into this series. Now it would be a miracle if he survived it.

I hope the knicks front office will have some qualifications in trying to get a superstar, ideally i would like the next generation superstar to come, more aligned to the young knicks timeline. When Kyrie and KD chose the nets and they started acting like jerks putting down the knicks to stir some news their way, i felt the knicks dodged 2 bullets on those two, now with their performance this playoff, its just the icing on the cake. Just bring in young superstars not vets whose games are starting to decline.

The 2 years or so prior to summer 2019 when KD and Kyrie were rumored to be coming here — not only did I never believe they were serious but I knew they were a second round exit at best. Kyrie is a shoot first pg who needs the ball in his hands. KD is a volume scorer who needs the ball in his hands. KD is getting old and was coming off an Achilles

These 2 clowns are 1 twitter tirade from demanding a trade out of there

OF course you knew. YOur awesome!

Truth s boston is just a better team and played really great after a slow start with new coach.
NEts are not “losing”. They are getting beaten by a better team.
Did they do us a favor?
As much as they lack results, the still finished better than us. Not sure what your celebrating. I don’t even know why any knick fan is watching them.

I also continue to grind an axe as to the "Knicks Clowning" of not too far back. There was a troika of events -- the KP trade, not "winning" the lottery for Zion, and then not signing KD and Kyrie. In the aftermath of being dragged across the coals as a laughingstock, it turns out those worked out fairly well for the Knicks. KP was such a steal for the Mavs that they dumped him for big contracts and we still have another pick coming to go with IQ (won't mention Randle as that will be what the mob will jump on -- oops). Of course losing the lottery is not the fault of the FO but that didn't stop the wolves from circling. And KD and Kyrie's performances speak for themselves.

But there is no owning of any of this by fans which is to be expected, or their media zookeepers, which if also expected I still find repugnant. Can you imagine the reaction to a broke ass maxed KP, or fat Zion not suiting up? And forget Kyrie's nonsensical BS. And then there is the matter of Douchebag Durant being on the books for FOUR MORE years. At 43 to 50 plus mil.

My pettiness is cold comfort but it's all I have.

LOL, yeah. Its not much but I get you……

My neutral view?

KD tore his heal and Nets signed him and shelved him for a year. For the most part he has held up his part of the bargain. KD is a freak, a linear thinking hoop junkie.

Kyrie? Dude is a flake. His mates like him enough. Fans were frustated by his idiocy and flake like persona. Covid came after and in true style he mucked it up. Still, dude can hoop.

Harden? Would we have had the goods to get him? Doubt it. Not a factor. Same for Simmons.
Nets in the KD era better than Us? Kind of.

Only thing they mucked up was Letting Jared Allen go. Should have tried harder. Easy to say in the aftrmath.
Did KD embarass us? I think so.
I want knicks to beat nets on the court and higher in the standings. And let me add I want both to be competing, not celler dwellers. Games that matter. Not playing for territorial bragging rights.

I want them to eliminate them from playoffs.

Durant is an awesome all time great on the floor that would have loved to see in a Knick uniform at one point. But screw 'im.

Garnet and Pierce for sure going to nets ruined any chance for most knick fans to at least be neutral.
As for Celts, I find it hard to hate them these days. They have done nothing to us.
I know Hawks are the object of hate given last years playoff exit but fact is they were superior to us and Trae rose up and took the stage. Not a fan, but respect is due when earned.

Its on knicks to create the proper competitive environment and succeed. Another teams lose does nothing for me.
Fucking redsox winning a few series took the fun out of their 100 year old streak. They had the Celts, we had the yanks. Seemed like the gods worked it out. Then Sowx won a few and Brady gave them some good ones.

God Bless Eli.
