BUT I wouldn’t put em there if I thought no chance. There’s a pathway

I hope you are rewarded!

if these Knicks were to go all the way they would be an all time New York Sports story. Think '69 Mets. Unlikely but not impossible....

I love the Knicks, but I'd take the other side of that bet for sure. Our ceiling this season is upsetting Philly. I would be ecstatic about any outcome short of being swept by the Hawks.

There's a pathway aight... for Trae Young's glorious, flowing, receding mane to flash to the hoop for an easy bucket. I hope Vildoza looks good at the Olympics

Briggs is right. Now is the time to be positive and be open to all possibilities.

I'm very hard line most of the time on team building, drafting, cap management, trade valuation, etc, etc and I know to many, it comes off as being a party pooper.

But as someone who loves this team, there's a point where you have to be open to magic. Sports resonate with people for lots of reasons. I'm grateful I made a living off of them. But what captures the public's hearts is that sometimes magic does happen.

Maybe it won't be Lake Placid in 1984, but this season was a tremendous accomplishment and no matter what happens from here on out, this entire year was a success for this franchise and for it's long suffering fans. Even if the Knicks can only take the Hawks to Game 7 and it stops there, this season is more than anyone could have hoped for even just a year ago.

If David Tyree can pull the pin on those mother****ing piece of **** Patriots, then anything is possible.

Triples softer side coming thru. Hey, we all are sensitive deep down! LOL

Good words actually. This is entertainment and fun. The entirety of the season has been a blast esepecilly in contrast to the teams history.
Personally the 4th seed was great but really is just a musical chairs ending we end up with and a validation of sorts for the moment. But it does little as a predictor give the nature of their season and the teams around us. Miami and ATL both came on strong also and perhaps in an 82 game season we are organically a 6th seed.

It's a building-block season. Getting back to the post-season and playing tough (as we did in game one, despite Randle's off night) was a MAJOR accomplishment. This experience will help the team going forward, whether we advance or not. I hope we find a way to silence Trae Young's brashness. But even if we lose in game 7, it's a win for the team's development. Nothing beats competitive playoff experience to generate go-forward confidence. I can't wait for tomorrow's Game 2!!!

I'm guessing you can double down with even more favorable odds now.

I hope for the best, prepare myself for the worst, though after the past year pandemic-wise, Knicks losing a playoff series vs the Hawks (who are as good if not slightly better than us) after a fantastic season is not the end of the world to me!

I don't think we'll win the chip at all, don't feel the need to pretend to myself that we will- shutting up Trae Young by winning this series would be great though!

Yes, it's all in Briggs' hands...he needs to open "this team failed after all, we need to break everything and start over" thread ASAP.

I don't believe in jinxes. Too old to remember what I ate or what I wore during the last win. Play some defense! In what world does Trae Yong get to waltz down the lane for his floater or a layup? Also, move RJ to the second unit for scoring punch. He needs to get his mojo working again. Let him feast on their second unit. Much more effective. Frank on Trae, Bullock on Boogie. Let Derrick do his thing without getting fouls trying to contain Trae.
