[Popper] So if the Knicks and Heat can close out their 3-1 series leads the Knicks would have homecourt in the Eastern Conference Semifinals? What?

The stars are aligning
this dude jimmy never dies
Saw Thibs catch a lot of flak for playing lots of our rotation guys late in the season after we had locked up a playoff berth. It was to secure home court on the off chance that situations like these come to pass. Great move by Thibs to cover all his bases. Exciting possibility if it happens!
We match up way better against the Heat but Playoffs Jimmy won’t go down easy lol. That Giannis injury really turned the tide
Let’s get the W first.
It’s slowly coming together
Can Jimmy Butler be beat though?
ngl im shook of playoff jimmy
I wanted the heat to win bc I thought bucks with giannis had too much fire power for us
Now I’m not sure even about that. This man is on a mission
Jimmy looking like a beast. That said knicks in 4
Woo Hah!! Got you all in check!
Well I hope so, maybe we can be like the Bucks. 2021 was 50 years for their most recent championship, and 2023 is 50 years for our most recent championship.
Game 5 is crucial. End this shit and get rest, then face either an 8 seed or an exhausted Bucks team
Let’s beat Cleveland before getting excited at beating the heat. We’re proving we can beat a top heavy roster right now and I’d much rather face the heat than the bucks in the next round, but we can’t count Cleveland dead and gone just yet.
There would be too many dogs out there in a Knicks-Heat series it’d be like the Puppy Bowl.
Butler was absolutely legendary tonight…. I had a choice between watching that game or a repeat of Succession and I watched that game.. Butler looked like he was 25 and playing like a beast on both sides of the ball and basically won the game for them in the 4th.
Just an epic, legendary HOF performance… Much respect
Come on!
Man I feel bad for Giannis with how bad his team failed him
Adam Silver gonna have a doozy of a postseason in his hands. Semifinals in both conferences can potentially look like:
Knicks-Heat
Celtics-Sixers
Lakers-Warriors
Nuggets-Suns
Eastern conference with huge rivalry match-ups. LeBron vs Steph and…I guess another Suns in 4 battle between Denver and Phoenix?
Problem is Jimmy is probably gonna have to drop a fifty spot to beat them a fourth time. I’d say that series is still a toss up
Jimmy G lowkey dawged us in the regular szn. Definitely exciting, but that mans gonna be a problem if we both advance
W first then celebrate. 3-1 is a dangerous position
Going on record: Bucks in 7 over the Heat. You heard it here first, maybe.
God I hate jumping the gun and want to secure this win against the Cavs first but it’s hard not to think about a potential match up with the Heat
Butler is scary but no Herro should allow Thibs to get very creative on D
We’d have home court, better depth, and more talented team
But they’d likely have best player and better coach. However brunson could be better in a series
We going to the ECF
FUCK PAT RILEY
LEGGGGOOOOOOOOOO
Bro heat vs Knicks would be fire, that’s a real tough series though, heat got playoff experience and they confident
ngl, knicks vs heat would be some nostalgic trip for me. it’s been so long since i’ve properly hated the heat.
I really want to get excited because idk man I really believe in us but let’s focused on closing out Cleveland first
