I have whiskey and ice nights, then some nights it's beer. Vodka is good with dinner, some herring and potatoes go real well with it neat. Most of the time I drink dry wine. What about yourself? What do you prefer?

I ain't going to lie I am not pumped like in years past because I really don't have confidence in this team and coach. All of that don't matter because now is what really counts. Show me how wrong I am. We are going to be rested so it's time to show you belong with the top teams. Time to defend. Time to get those loose balls. Time to make the correct adjustments and right rotations.

Bourbon, coke, hookers. All good with dinner too.

This is why Cam Payne matters! Dont forget his stupid ass got hot and beat us almost as much as Embiid did in Game 3 last year!

Anyway what feels this one is the pressure or consequences if we lose this series that did not exist in past years
Chandler @ 4/16/2025 7:47 AM
We have guys who can hit shots under pressure. Key to playoffs will be to remember and use that because opponents will focus on Brunson

P.s.
I am over Wally, his dumb comments and his crazy eyebrows

Expectations and a Detroit team that does well vs. us, and parity making not so clear cut favorites.
Cade star is on the rise.
Last year we won 50 games but with Julius out and Robinson working back into shape the expectations were not there.

Beating Philly with Embiid was satisfying. We fell apart physically vs. indy so it was a feel good story despite the loss. They played loose because they had to making DDV a notorious gunslinger.
Jalen/OG got hurt and we sort of accepted it all with a valiant effort.

I don't know why this is but I can't love Cam's game. He is one of the better if not best net positives for the team. He has breakout games like the above.

I just keep seeing the heat check Cam Payne over and over again and maybe he is just good and I'm watching it wrong.

Nah, I think Wally has some cool takes. Especially the Haliburton one. Of course, I might feel different if he turned my longtime Knicks sideline reporter crush into a single mom.

Imma start a countdown to the playoffs. Feel free to chips in.

Shamet with the quick release is finally providing the Shades of DiVo we hoped for. I hope he stays hot and we give him run.

Lots of time off - we need to come out a different team. Everyone is healthy. Lets go.

I'll ask this question to everyone: if Shamet continues this type of performance and the Knicks want to bring him back next year and he signs... what do you do with Deuce, cause he would be an extra player in that same'ish role. Deuce absolutely provides better PoA defense than Shamet but Shamet is also trying to guard 3's and wings as he is played out of the more traditional SG movement role.

It'll be interesting to see how the playoffs turn out for both of those players. If Shamet cements himself in that off the bench SG role, does Deuce become a potential trade asset candidate in the say perhaps DDV did?
