OK, clearly what has happened here is that I have been in an asylum since game 3 of the Hawks, and all the staff and visitors have been instructed to go along with my psychosis. "It's important you don't say anything to contradict him when he tells you the Knicks are 3-1 up on SA after a 29 point comeback in game 4."

It's the only thing that makes sense.

Wemby played 44 min to KAT's 26 (because the refs of course), spurs were desperate.

If they keep this attitude, I hope they win nothing. I was truly pulling for them against OKC, but then they started copying them and now they have turned themselves into a very dirty team that it’s too easy to root against.

Wouldn't say the team is dirty but they are bratty and obnoxious. They are young but the league is allowing Wemby to be Wembeed. Well who knows how this goes we all thought OKC would be a dynasty and now they are losing Hargenatein and Dort and maybe others. Who knows SA takes a step back next playoffs and Wemby is so tall wait until he suffers the inevitable injuries. No guarantee they will be a dynasty either. They are going to have to lock in Wemby, Castle, Harper in a few years, what are there draft and cap assets. OKC has draft assets to improve with major talent And other western teams too

I would like to believe so as well, but I keep seeing dirty/highly suspicious plays, especially from Wemby. Watch this one;

It looks so weird and violent, as many of their other non-flagrant, that it’s hard to defend it. I would like to believe that nobody is out there trying to injure anyone, but wtf was that jump and seemingly kick heading towards OG?

I get the aggressiveness, it’s actually the playoffs and games were usually like this or even more intense, but some of the blows are just too blatantly obvious to hurt and not just to contain the opponent.

The Knicks were actually smart on their attacks today and I’m glad they did, because you can’t just let the other team stream roll over you. Mitch has a nice blow and Alvarado kept his promise, seemingly trying to get Wemby to dance some salsa.

Ball handling is the Knicks biggest weakness. Then backup center.

Didn't see that Wemby attempted stomp on OG during the game, but there's no other reason to make that motion if you're not trying to hurt someone.

The Flagrent 1 on Wemby, it was due.
Bottom line.......WE up 3-1. This was a 62 win team and yes league has a future international star/asset/face/attraction it protects. No different than Jordan, Lebron, SGA, etc. Knicks win this Im good. On this subject I am transactional. Win, its not an issue. Lose, Im angry.
Im not going to change anyones mind nor should I.
I rarely watch non knick games and thus I have little objectivity to balance how "victimized" we are.

Riding the bipolar coaster of last nights game and running on 5 hours sleep has me drained today.
But im happy!!!!!

I woke up this morning with half dead phone in my hand, running OG's tip in on loot. Fortunately,or unfortunately, I've blacked out everything that happened from the end of the game to the moment I woke up. My dog and cat are operating as if everything is cool, so I assume nothing bad happened.

How can we fix it for next season? Alvarado and Kolek are mostly backup PGs, but it would seem like we need a good ball handler for the starting SG.

Backup C can be solved but you start by keeping Mitch, please.

Back to this season:

Alvarado has been huge in his minutes and after all the hate he gets from some, I’m so happy for him. Looking at him is like seeing one of us fans out there close to winning a championship for your home team. You can’t tell this means the world to him and he has been huge in all aspects of the game, from his huge three, his ballhandling and also his tough play on Wemby.

An easy fix would be for coach to drill down deeper on the motion offense. Also, and I love GTA, Deuve and Kolek, the backup or third guard position could be upgraded I think. We'll see what vets fall by the wayside in FA.

True story:

Me talking to my wife this morning: babe, I’m having a tough time. I barely slept last night w the excitement. I’m watching all these fan reactions on IG and everyone being just so happy. I’m emotionally fried.

Wife: listen, enough of this crap. I’m not going to let you watch football anymore if this is the way you’re going to react

Me (just my thoughts): I’m going to let that slide.

Absolutely insane game. karma paid back Wemby. The league views him as their golden child but these playoffs turned him into a villain. So unlikable. I cannot ever remember watching an NBA series where the league/refs favored a team over another this much. Way worse than the Jordan years.

I'm so proud of the Knicks. I didn't sleep until late last night. Something strange happened after that game. I had this flashback to all the ugly years. Eddy Curry, Jermome James, Isiah, Grunwald, Steve Mills, Phil Jackson, Billups amnesty, and countless other players who bombed with the Knicks. Lebron and Wade laughing at the Knicks while flipping water bottles on the sideline.

We are really here now. 1 more win baby, we are almost there.

For what its worth, he had a bad game.
Are they here without fox all season?
For what its worth, its Spurs problem! They can attach a pick and move that deal for an expiring

How to solve ball handling for next season?
Win a chip. All teams have a weakness. But if you champs?

its crazy because we really havent gotten much from Mitch or Deuce these playoffs.

I mean Deuce hasn't scored a single point these last 2 games and 2.8ppg on 20% shooting in the finals. but sure enough Alvarado has stepped up.

Deuce just isn't a PG, its why he won't get a big contract IMO. nice 3 & D guy but a tweener.
