Shouldn’t he be busy trying to get a career criminal Ken Paxton elected to the Senate?

No need to take the bait. Let's be the bigger men and WALK away. Walk away...

I'm getting so nervous and anxious!

Kathy Hochul is looking fit though

I have been dropping off and picking up my kindergartener in different Knicks jerseys. This morning was an Iman Shumpert Christmas Day jersey. I am screaming LET'S GO KNICKS to anyone who acknowledges me. All these Rockville, MD people are looking at me funny... like a combination of WTF and envy

Old lady cashier at the grocery store last night saw my Knicks cap and said "Let's Go Knicks, I'm a Celtics fan, but I rooting for you to win it". She was an old time Boston gal and we talked about the 1986 World Series and Bill Buckner.

The buzz is everywhere. Knicks got people hyped

“(If you could) go into a lab and create…the physical profile you need to have a chance against him, it probably would look a lot like OG Anunoby.”

On NBA Finals on ABC conference call, analysts Tim Legler and Richard Jefferson were asked about OG Anunoby potentially defending Victor Wembanyama. Legler and Jefferson's full thoughts on Anunoby defending Wembayama:

Legler: “Just looking at Wemby all year and sort of the evolution of his career…if you could have a physical profile that you would go into a lab and create and say, this is sort of the physical profile you need to have a chance against him, it probably would look a lot like OG Anunoby. A guy that has enough size and length - it can't be in that 6-4, 6-5 range; (it’s) got to be bigger than that – lateral mobility for a bigger guy and then the physical strength to be able to get into Wemby and sort of move him around the best that you can. None of this stuff is easy; it's a very complicated thing, and it's a team thing.

"But for me, OG Anunoby - even the way that he's guarded him this year - is the type of defender that you have to have (in order to have) a chance. Because of (Anunoby’s) combination of just agility laterally, which you need - length to contest as much as you can from a guy that's 7-5 with a high release point, and then the physical strength and determination. You have to have a guy that is so committed to that end of the floor; and in this case, it's unique because (Anunoby) isn't a guy who's a sacrificial lamb defensively, where you don't worry about his offense. (The Knicks) need his offense too, on the other end of the floor.

"So it's a major task for him and the minutes he's on the court; he'll be the primary guy on him. And I think in this situation the Knicks are probably going to do what they can to kind of keep him on (Wembanyama) as much as they can. Certainly, sometimes you have to switch or there’s a cross match. but he is the guy that they would want to have. I think they've got about as good a defender as you can for this type of matchup/responsibility.”

JEFFERSON: "I would agree…. And understand, there is no stopping players in the NBA. That's not a real thing. I told a story a little bit ago about Kobe Bryant; (he) said Tony Allen was the best player to ever guard him. And Kobe averaged 29 (points per game) on Tony Allen. So while OG is a perfect player, in my opinion, to guard Wemby, the size, the consistency, the competitiveness in which he brings, he's still giving up a foot. So it's one of those things that, it's the physicality aspect, and can you maintain that consistently? What I love about OG is that he felt like he should have been on the first team all-defensive team. Well, you know, you get to go out there and prove it on the world's biggest stage. So I always love players with a little bit of an edge that (have) something to prove.”

I might be crazy, but I think the Knicks are gonna have an easy time with SAS. My heart is ready for the contrary, but my mind actually thinks they are gonna win in 5. There are so many advantages we have against this team.

Old joke: Guy in mental ward sitting in the corner rubing two cashews on his penis. Another asks why he is here?
Guy replies: "im fucking nuts!"

I can’t wait for us to destroy the spurs and see how the media responds lol a lot of the
So called experts are going to look like fools when we win in 4 and not just win… crush the spurs . I think this team will go down as the greatest championship team in the history of the NBA … the fact that we are 4 pt underdogs is crazy. But I love it, we use it as fuel and just blow them out of the water .

Talking to a colleague today who is pretty savvy sports person and a coach himself. He said he's picking the Spurs in 7. I told him don't be surprised if the Knicks win in 5.

As I've said earlier, if the Knicks are locked in at the level they've risen to lately you will not beat them. But that is not a given. If SA disrupts us with their defense and we don't counter with greater defensive pressure then anything is possible.

But if the Knicks stay their current course, I've got them for a split in SA and then holding home court with three opportunities to close it out in 5, 6 or 7.

Wemby is already an epic player and I think he will win many rings, but this is the Knicks year. Wemby will only get stronger and better so we should make it now or nothing and leave no doubt about whom is the better team this year.
