Wouldn't be the Knicks if they did this easy. Expecting a Boston win tonight.

Though then again, I've been wrong about pretty much every game this series.

Dude, I'm stoked! Probably (not definite) ECF appearance first time in 25 years... Can't believe so long in the desert...

Allows you to comfortably start KAT Mitch if you want.

Huk mentor, maybe help KAT with some defense.

That would put the icing on Boston cake during the summer.

Al and KAT can do the Dominican dinner night on team get togethers.

In terms of pure skillset, I'm not sure there is a better fit on paper to be the backup and also the guy who can play minutes next to KAT.

I want Steve Adams next to KAT.

Didn’t even think about him playing with or even starting next to KAT? Double big 5-out! With OG Mikal Brunson cutting it up with all the space (Hart back to his off bench role). Mitch off the bench for continuous double big rotation that Thibs falls in love with, and let’s be honest, probably gets a little randy over too. Luke gonna be available too as the fallback plan? Not as fun on paper though.

Horford is the grandpa, 3point shooting version of iHart we always wanted.

If anyone spots Leon chatting with Horford after the game, just let us know cause that’ll be a sigh of good things!

Leon can offer half the year off and free express telecommutes between his home in Boston and Westchester!

Win tonight and you are off until Monday at the earliest and potentially next Wed.

Just win baby.

Yeah but then the Garden party on Friday would be insane in the membrane

You’d trust the NBA not pushing to a game 7 back in Boston? Let’s just get out of here tonight.

Hoping we’ve turned the corner on dud performances - how many have we won in row on road? 5?

Let’s add 1 more road win.

Steven Adams looked pretty macho in playoffs —- wouldn’t mind him here.

Yes - just posted the same and I think he’s younger than the 38 he looks.
