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!

Wait, wasn’t Mentality the author of the RJ is better than prime Kobe and used lots of emoji’s as his proof?
Funny RJ now has more career points than Ja or Zion.

And making clutch 3’s to win playoff games

I thought Cam Reddish was going to have the best career out of each of the three Dukies.
Scary Morant has played just 79 regular season games in the last THREE seasons!
Not like these guys lack talent. Zion plays, he performs.
Jah? The arrogance is astonishing! Contract? Owed 88mil over the next 2 years.
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.

Cavs have a lot of guys they can cycle through and Kenny Atkinson is a solid coach. Like any series it's going to come down to attention to deal and getting those 50/50 balls. 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.

Fingers crossed. Not trying to get cocky. About to sacrifice a chicken and ask Jobu to expel the evil spirits once and for all.

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.
No genious thought to "if we are down 0-2 we in trouble". No shit.
Then one is banking on home court advantage and if one plays that card your going 7 games!
NO doubt ones observation will have changed after 6 games. A game 7 for all the marbles is a totally different animal. By then who is is hurt, who is not, and another 100 factores exist.
Damn right we need to take a split cause if not something is not solvable. WE taking out Wemby and dare others to step up? Do we do a rope a dope and wear him out? We going physical and mess with their yoot to get them out of kilter? Castle seems a bit of a hot head but the kid keeps bouncing back.
Both teams have good depth. Both teams play good defense, can shoot, etc. Both teams made the finals!
Im not going to talk myself into confidence feeling to deal with my anxiety. I was on record thinking because of wemby SAS scares me more than did OKC given his ceiling. Found myself rooting for OKC? Not sure why. Perhaps admiration for defending champs and if losing to them has more valor than this new upstart SAS roster.
Wemby? Without him they lose leads. When he tires or fatigues into bad decisions he falters. Reggie miller in our ear was telling us OKC shoiuld keep going at him. Knicks perhsps do this but will look bad a times. We will question the sanity of Brown and lay blame on him. The key to wining is someimtes a strong conviction in a plan and the patience to see it thru. If not working we fans tilt to "our coach did not adjust". If successful we call it "Lucky". We in the fandom space are self righteous at times. Im in here also so im not being too high and mighty. Just a bit. We a funny bunch, we are all for the same team but compete for who is the bigger fan. We love a prediction and if it carries it out we wear the badge of "Told you". NO difference online than being in the pub old school.
MEdia? We cruised making the east look weak whilel the SAS looks valiant having won it. Media has to create content for 4 days to keep nuckle heads like us amused. No hype, predictions, personalities, etc can substitute the eventual truth of the actual game.
Yes we have a very good chance. Im confident of that. Not of the outcome. Not for anything lacking other just excited about the theatre of it all and how it plays out.
I want the Chip. Not just for me, but for all NYC, those across the country and new moments to cherish. And yes, for you knuckle heads!!!!!!
