I expect CLE to shoot better at home. They will feed off of their home crowd. We need to stay focused. This is a battle tested team. We cannot take them lightly at all.

Probably looking at a 5 or 6 game series. I am taking a trip Memorial Day weekend and won’t have the lucky shirt on Saturday.

WTF. You don’t know how to pack a shirt? You’re going to risk cosmic energy? Your significant other will understand and if they don’t that’s the universe speaking to you

Martin is this ban-able?

Shaq and Barkley’s hate is predictable and boring and they’re not funny anymore. And Stan (like his brother was) is a horrible color man. Dumb insights that essentially amount to things were tougher in old days and should be again and super duper dumb repetitive dad jokes

Legler actually provides insight and good energy. Also ESPN should have an option to have Monica McNutt complete w a video feed. I love her energy

Someone tried to F Ernie once and he squeaked in terror like a frightened puppet

F LeBron. Maybe he can go back to Cleveland so he and Harden can enjoy a wonderful two weeks together next November before Harden demands a trade.

Lebron tried to F himself once and decided it wasn't as good as a threesome with Wade and Bosh

I’d place some money on LeBron coming to NY if he could bring his son along. I think that could be the carrot for him.

He's either staying in LA or going to CLE. The only way he ends up in NY is if he goes to Brooklyn. Teams aren't clearing the deck to make cap space for a 42 yr old on his last leg. He makes way too much money.

I did mean on vet min

Game 1 he muffs a 20+ point lead in the fourth, no time outs or adjustments

Game 2 Mobley doesn’t get a shot in second half? And veiled blame at Merrill about having open looks but missing

Both games the team seems to lack chemistry

Things could get ugly

Whereas we have a host of guys who didn’t chase the last penny, DM seems to be angling for his super max - 5 years 350 million (yikes)

Tuesday Hart was kept out and Shamet go it done. last night Josh was awesome on both sides of the court! Fucking brilliant and he answered the call. Someone said pull him in the fisrt 5 min of the game? I think what we miss is if the game is close we have the advantage of depth.

Fact is Kenny cannot counter. He can't sub out his guys because he does not have the depth.
Game one? He gets some credit for a 22 pt lead but that team ran out of gas. It was predicatable and the real shock was not blowing it, but that they actually ahd built it!

Regular seaosn they were just one game behind us. They had a very nice season and maybe Gilbert cans his ass in frustration after spending the money but they were better with Harden than Garland.

Two back to back 7 game series win shows me they have resiliant Game three is their last line. Win it and they have hope still.
Knicks this playoff run are a juggernaut!

Teams with the best record usually hold the league MVP. Finals MVP is often "Playoffs MVP"......And this kid is for sure in line if knicks can win 6 more games!

So happy Stan Van is not near the microphone for the rest of the way. Breen is a bit of a homer but thats ok! Leggs is good and Jefferson cleaned up his act the last few years.

My brother was like Shump literally won a chip with the Cavs. Yet chooses to be apart of the Knick Alumni over Cleveland.

Apparently Cavs treat their Alumni terribly though(Through the grapevine)

SergioNYK wrote:I was surprised Cleveland managed to forget their choke in game 1 and play a solid first half. I thought they would be a depressed team just looking to get back home but they played hard. I was getting annoyed at all the offensive rebounds and we were fortunate Merill missed like 4 open threes. We made adjustments at half time and built a good lead into the 4th. Josh Hart was terrific! Missed his first 3 threes but hit his next 5/8! Had a sick spin and layup on Allen too. This is why I love Hart and I never get down on him even when he has his slumps and struggles. He's a warrior and usually comes up big when his best is needed.

This was a near perfect floor game by Brunson. Career high 14 assists to 3 turnovers. He didn't have it offensively but didn't force it like sometimes he does and just dissected the defense! I love those plays where they send two guys at him and he finds Mikal at the FT line for an easy floater or jumper. Mikal continues to play and shoot out of his mind! 9/12 and he's shooting 68/48/100 his last 9 games! INSANE!!! KAT was good too. He's still can't buy a FT attempt even though he get's mugged every time he drives but finished with 18/13 and hit 3/5 from three. OG looked and moved well and hit that huge 3 to kill the Cavs run in the 4th. Bench didn't do much aside from Clarkson who hit some shots. Deuce was a donut, Shamet was quiet and Mitch wasn't impactful. The FT issues are concerning. But great move by Brown who kind if baited Atkinson into a hack-a-Mitch only to sub him right KAT right when they got their 4th foul.

We're up 2-0 and we're feeling good as we should and we can all taste the NBA Finals but this series is NOT over. Cavs are a different team at home. Expect Merill, Strus and Wade to shoot a lot better. We haven't had a good whistle at all at home and we can be sure it's likely to be worse on the road. I also think Mitchell is due for a monster game. But we only need 1 in Cleveland!

I saw DM's post game and I think given they won two 7 game series with comebacks they are riding that vibe and not panicking. They are mostly a vet oriented team. They are simply not deep enough and likely very tired. That, and Knicks are simply peaking as the season goes along.

That knicks are making teams look bad makes it hard to evaluate opponents. Thats what 9 in a row and some with large spreads does. Philly Beats Boston in 7 and then looks like ****. Knicks did that.

Fox and Harper are hurting. JWilliams Hammy is not holding up. Dare I even say it? LOL!!!!!

I don’t have an issue with Legler and I agree he’s a good commentator.

Barkley has been sh tting on the Knicks for 30+ years. Since that fight in 1993 he’s had blood lust for us. He’s basically made a second career sh tting on us. Seriously f ck that fat f ck I don’t care if he’s on ozempic now. I hope his liver fails.
