I guess the best defense against Westbrook in the playoffs is no defense. Just let him shoot.

Jayson Tatum, the greatest scorer in play-in history. Who says the Celts didn't have an historic season.

Typically, when a team has a scorer that can drop 50 like Tatum, you'd think your squad has a punchers chance to make any series interesting. The problem is, the celts are going up against a team that has 3 guys that can drop 50 at any given time

Yeah and Kyrie is definitely going to abuse little Kemba.

Dougie McBuckets dropped 21 for Indy - once a Knick always a Knick!

Ha, I would say like it feels like 75% of the players who were on the Knicks the past several years are out the league. It's just that the ones who are still playing standout more.

Extra motivation for Kyrie going up against his former team....Kyrie is definitely taking the most shots in this series and it might not be very close...

They're not all comparable, but from last year's Knicks (to go with Mcdermott -- and Kornet if you will ; ) ) Marcus Morris Sr. for the Clips and Bobby Portis for the Bucks have been important contributors to championship contenders. Also Wayne Ellington had a decent season for the Pistons and even Iggy made a statement in 8 games for the Magic. Interestingly the much loved Damyean Dotson (wash out in Cleveland) and Alonzo Trier (out of the league) were the only real busts.

I don't think it will work out this way, but I bet Philly or the Bucks would love for the Nets to run into the Knicks before they have to play them. Would tire them out and one of the Big 3 might not survive. Which may be the only path for a Nets fail.

Oh, I'm going back even further hahaha Shved, Sergio Rodriguez, Ron Baker, Shane Larkin, the twin brother who played at UCLA, Cleanthony Early and now, I guess, Jeremy Lin 😥

We are not in the Nets' bracket.

In other words, IF the Knicks beat the Hawks, they will play the Sixers or the winner of Washington or Indiana.

They can't face the Nets, Bucks, heat or Celtics until the ECF.

Thibs as COY is seen by some of us as "Knicks were most improved, thus he had the biggest impact and should get it". Its a valid point actually.
Not sure that's the parameters by which they vote. There is the answer if you can get them.

Kyrie vs Boston.........That should be fun to see!

And Timmy and even Trey have done pretty okay in Dallas. That wasn't a bad trade they made for those two guys....
