Need to win this first game cause we have NEVER won a best-of-seven playoff series in franchise history when we lost Game 1 at home.

We have meds for that!

I hear you and no doubt we all have more failed hoped then Knicks have banners.
Remember its the journey that is celebrated when the chips are won! So try to enjoy the spill and the thrills as this team is not a on a quest that a corenation.
Being favorite becomes a "Relief" when achieved. Its kind of not so fun. The last few years its been great fun as "is this really happening?" Thibian effect was team played over its heads.

Now it comes with expectations! The run thus far is filled with statistical hope and having decimated two teams enroute to this series makes for it.

We'll know soon enough!

We swept and Embiid and Philly and put an end to the Morey era in Philly!
Next? Kenny and the Cavs!

Mitch is going to be KEY in this series. I REALLY hope he's been working on that Free Throw and it translates in-game!
I think he's our X-Factor.

Feel keeping Mobley and Allen at bay will be a big key.
Cavs have won when both are over 15 bounds combined.
Also these two have had big plus numbers when they win.
Feel hopeful that Bridges will keep DM from going off and OG on Harden will cause havoc.
So the difference may be how we handle the tertiary groups.
Meaning their bench and Mobley and Allen.

Heavy favorites, heavy girls on the thread; the stars are aligning.

The Big Data Profile group at Google are combing through terra gigabytes of online searches and the nerd bros are getting a kick out of your last 6 weeks of internet searches while also strangely bookmarking a few choicier curved women and ice creams pics, to study later on in a more private and suitable for home environment LOL

Strangely enough, there is an unofficial affinity group at Google called Engineers Love Thick Ones Naughty (AKA ELTON JOHN) that meets mid-day in the mens room stalls on the 4th floor to exchange research photos.

The leader of the group calls himself Rocket Man though I'm not sure why.

My grandfather always told me to never do tomorrow, what can be done today. You sir, are a gentleman and scholar. Let no one tell you differently.

We're a different team. We're a better team. But I'm hoping to see some Kolek this series. I think he's ready

we are all traumatized Knick fans, but we gotta really start believing in this team.

because let me say, in todays NBA where a 20pt lead so often gets cut to single digits, we did not see that at all with this team. They kept their foot on the gas and instead turned the 20pt lead into 40-60 point leads. I have never seen that from any team, and especially not in the modern NBA. I kept waiting for it, and it just never happened.

This team is locked TF in as much as any team ever has been.

CLE has faced two very mediocre offenses with very little shooting or floor spacing, especially TOR without IQ and even Ingram at times. This is going to be a completely different game for them.
