But if I feel depleted after a win, imagine how San Antonio feels. Knicks players must feel exhausted but peaceful. Spurs players must feel exhausted and dejected. Refs must feel even worse as their plans went down.
This is Alpha's plea for more big girls to be sent his way, I can read the undercurrents
Alpha needs more carbs. LIke them big bottom girls!
I like em big all of a sudden. I am still exhausted. I normally exercise daily and I'll manage to to do something light today. But today is a rest day. I'll gladly take some pics of wholesome nipples, thick chicks, Alba, Hathaway or whatever. My wife is out of town and I could use an outlet for my anxiety.

Had to take a second reading that to process that we've played 11 playoff series since Brunson came to NY...wow. Do not take this era for granted.
Knicks haven't had a game at MSG since game 2 vs the Cavs May 21st. The Garden is going to be INSANE on Monday. Especially with all the ****ery in San Antonio. Those open looks that weren't dropping start to drop at MSG... NIGHT NIGHT!!

I described it as watching a friend get mugged while unable to do anything about it and feeling relieved that they escaped mostly unharmed.
We all knew Anne was integral to the process
The refs did everything they could to get San Antonio the W … they were hacking the shit out of us for their bs comeback … if Kat didn’t get into foul trouble on some bs calls we win this game by double digits.
Like I said from the beginning KNICKS in 4 even with the refs help they still couldn’t beat us! There youth really shows throughout the whole game … we are going to step on there throats in game 3 !!
StillerCam got us a good look
we suffered under their ball pressure, sas has amazing athletes.
In the offseason or draft it's imperative that we draft or sign a ball handler that can help us dribble through this playoffs physicality. someone like Westbrook or Schroeder level of handles.
KAT is obviously the matchup this series they cannot solve. either when hes crossmatched on a small on the glass or wemby up top. I really thought we needed at least 1 or 2 plays at the end for him.
still a make or miss league. we really leaned into our shotmaking by taking a lot of mediocre threes. especially shamet/deuce took a lot of bad looks but reality is vs SAS defense is that those looks wont improve with additional passes or dribbles
you can sense that both teams imo are running out of tactics and ideas. the matchups are simply set and the best team is going to win now. I suspect SAS is going to look at all of possessions where they hard showed 2 vs him early and decide that it was -EV bc knicks were able to get up a lot of 3pt shots and mikal went off. it really is on both sides a pick your poison variety of tactics.
I don't have the skills to post some of the content from IG but it's awesome in roasting the refs for missed calls, inconsistency etc.
One I didn't see during the game but is on the net is that last scrum which awarded the Spurs the ball calling the Knicks for last touching out of bounds. Video pretty clearly captures Kornet kicking the ball away from a Knick ready to pick up the missed FT.
I love it and hope people continue the roasting and to call out the refs and league for the BS
All we ask is a consistent whistle. Period.
Still dreaming!
Don’t wake me up!
Go Knicks!!

I refer you to Castle and Dylan Harper.
Its not about being a second year player. If he had the talent, he'd play
Kolek has talent, but you're comparing him to top 3 picks, those guys are the exceptions and the Spurs are in the finals because they hit on those picks. I said coaches aren't going to trust MANY 2nd year players in these games. Kolek isn't ready, just like it took Deuce a few years. But lets not forget we don't win the cup against this same team without Kolek.
Yeah, Kolek is not going to take the NBA by storm overnight, but he has special skills that will allow him to carve out a role and a career for himself in the NBA. He led the nation in assists and he can shoot. If the Knicks are keeping him on the roster it is because they expect him to fill a need down the road.

One of only three teams to win the first two on the road and I'd say we did it against heavy odds.
I'm so happy to see our franchise finally rise to the top, but that joy comes with an overall distaste for modern NBA politics.
The gambling influence has contaminated the sport and it is becoming rare to see well officiated games. Whether there is corruption among the league office and the referees, I'll leave to more committed conspiracy addicts, but all the same the product on the floor feels tainted.
If anything, that feeling of defying the shadowy elements of the game may make these wins even sweeter.
The NBA though is not what it used to be and that is not just nostalgia talking. I can understand people giving up on modern sports these days.
I just want to seal the deal now. Our squad has earned this and nobody will be able to take that away from them.
