I did not bring Cornhole in to this and for damn sure not discuss a glaze in the taint!

Your Essay Challenge due on Monday is to write a treatise that artfully integrates your thoughts on the Knicks prospects in these playoffs, a meditation on cornholes vs. glory holes and a rigorous consideration on whom you believe to have built the pyramids. This test of your powers of tangential reasoning will further the Nalodian agenda for generations to come. The choice of lubricant has been left up to you.

The "Most dominant team all time!" This either ends with an epic parade or a crushing defeat were we get mad at those who delt us this false prophecy!

To the spoils of victory for those brave enough to stick their necks out!
Good luck to all and see you in the canyon of heroes!

Funny stuff, I'm a believer!

Funny RJ now has more career points than Ja or Zion.

I thought Cam Reddish was going to have the best career out of each of the three Dukies.

Passing both the 2017 Golden State Warriors in (total) Point Differential (+241) and the 1956 Minneapolis Lakers (per game) Point Differential (+19.35) means that we're experiencing/watching/witnessing the most dominant Postseason Playoffs run within All-Time NBA History.

More durable than Zion and not a headcase like Ja. Wish him nothing but the best in Toronto.

I'm sure it's been tough to block out all the outside noise and hype the past 9 days.

Knicks got lucky with how the east played out no doubt but we are here and the Celtics, Pistons and Cavaliers are playing golf.

1999 and 1994 both fun but we knew we had no shot at beating whoever came out of the west. This time it’s different.

True for 1999. That Spurs team was way too much with its front court vs. what we had.
1994 perhaps that Jordan was gone it was our year I thought Ewing was still at or near his apex and while Hakeem was small notch ahead of hime the rest ot the roster was not as good as knicks. If not favorites there was not a dominance factor tilting that Rockets were a heavy favorite going into the series. Not like that 1999 Spurs team.

BTW, bench warmer on that rockets team was Chris Jent. The same Chris Jent who is Mike Browns Associate head coach.

I get that SAS and OKC are not exactly looking good vs. each other while Knicks ran thru the east seemingly with the greatest of ease. Knciks made the east look weak. The optics of that perhaps taint the street view the "historic run" as limited. Both west teams were 60+ game winners while we were 53 win team.

I don't know what to make of OKC who has injuires to imoprant players and STILL took SAS to 7 games. Speaks to their depth.
Spurs are hard to figure out. They are potent, young, strong, but inexperienced as is their coach.

I agree knicks might not be favorites but i'd guess its not by much. For sure Knicks can do this. I love this run but cannot bank the "Historic optics" as absolute confidence.

I consider us the favorites now.

That said, this is another step up from the 3 teams the Knicks have beaten.

Either team will make this is a compelling series.

While true grit will be a key factor, I consider our starting 5 superior to either OKC or SAS.

Wemby is still just one player and his ability to put a team on his back for 7 games is something we'll probably see as he matures.

If our starting 5 are clicking consistently, we will win the Finals.

If BOTH our starters are clicking and our bench is lit (Shamet, Deuce, Clarkson, etc. going off), then we are capable of beating down either team any game and continuing to run up our historic point differential margins of victory.

The way the Knicks have played during this run will not be something that can be stopped if we stay on track. Which is why the games have to be played. Nothing is guaranteed, but the upside is pretty bright right now.

Cool! You make good logic and hope it plays out as you dipicted.
Wemby is not quite there on a consistant basis but if healthy, and if he fills out he could be a monster the likes we have not seen before. He has the tools for the modern in and out game rather than the low post. Kat has it, Embiid when healthy had it as does Jokic. Wemby can take it all to another level.

Neither team looks invincible. If any, Knicks do.

So wild to say, and yet, it's true! And this is the finals!!!

I could care lesss about the media or Vegas making the spurs the favorites. Take a split in San Antonio all of a sudden this becomes a very winnable series for us. We really need Mitch on the floor with Wemby.
