Knicks in 4
Knicks are better than the Heat. But the Heat are no slouches neither. Ijs the Knicks are better. If Giannis didn’t miss 3 games in the first round due to injury. The Knicks would be playing the Bucks.
The bucks have been a problem for the Knicks for two years straight. But the Knicks have been giving the heat problems all season long.

If jrue cant lock jimmy buckets up absolutely NOONE on the knicks is going to. This going to be a long series imo.
Heat in 6 🔥nobody from the knicks guarding jimmy all game 💀
Stephen A making this the next “wrestling type” feud in the playoffs. Love it!! 😆😆
Jimmy is on a mission right now, we’ll see though.
The Knicks are deep af and the heat are missing herro and lowry is completely washed..Knicks in six
Molly can get it
it will be another tough fight
thats it
Keep doubtin us! Jimmy is a baad man, he's coming for everybody!
We gotta put this in a bit more perspective I think:
1. Heat had a better record than the Bucks just last season (gentle push back on all this recency bias I been hearing-respectfully 😐)
2. Heat were shooting better than ALL other NBA teams last season- most those shooters are still with the team (minus PJ Tucker who was a lazer from the corners).
3. Jimmy is a repeat offender for coasting/trolling in the reg season then going nuclear in the playoffs (just lol'd remembering he's not even an all-star this year cos he didn't want to be one🤣)
4. Heat fans are mostly spoiled and panicked BUT reality is the core team is largely the same as last year so we shouldn't be all that surprised. Main differnece I saw was a healthy Playoff Jimmy🤷🏾♂️
With all that said, I had Bucks in 5 ngl 😆
Knicks are a team and the Heat is jimmy butler also there so small inside you see what Mitch and hart did to two 7fter’s imaging what’s going to happen to bam small a** and with no rim protection RJ and Randle are going to destroy them inside
Go NY, Go NY, Go NY, Go!!!!
Anyone wish there was a mute button for Molly
Bam is going to kill Mitchell Robinson and Brunson is going to be turnover machine and jimmy gonna go off again heat in 4
Jimmy bringing another 1 to the city
Heat in 6 it’s gonna be funny if they play the Celtics in the conference finals again
Jimmy coming to Gotham City like Bane and he’s bout to break the Bat (Knicks)
The only team that gives Miami problems is Boston. This is why losing to Atlanta was not a horrible thing. The only way Miami plays Boston is in the conference finals. Go Heat!
I know I don’t make nothing but good points sas funny af
Donovan (Spider) Mitchell ain't no Jimmy (Buckets) Butler
I know we giving love to Coach T and all but Coach Spo is not to be underestimated.
Thibs and D Rose knowing Jimmy will help to a degree
This up coming series is going to be good 🥳🥳🥳🥳🔥🔥
stfu stephen A.
with that said. jimmy butler is… lets just say, real dudes do real things. and he does those things in the playoffs.
but im pretty sure donovan mitchell used to have that rep too.
this gonna be a fun series. i wouldnt be surprised by either team winning.
lets go knicks.
Knicks have great matchups across the game with the Heat.
Lowry trying to draw charges against the Brunson with some of the best footwork in the game?
RJ Barrett & Josh Hart guarding Jimmy Butler?
Julius & Obi vs Kevin Love?
Mitchell Robinson just beat the "twin towers of Cleveland" by himself. What's Bam going to do?
Like someone else commented, the Knicks themselves haven’t been in the garden this time of year. They’re going to fold when Jimmy starts turning up and their own fans start booing them.
Fyi: knicks beat the heat 3-1'in the season series
Same as knicks beat clevland 3-1:in the season series .
Now knicks is 7-2 vs cavs this season + playoff 🤣🤣
Steven doesnt even believe this 😂
We have to stop this man is about to become the newest meme🤣🤣🤣🤣
They blowing smoke 😂 Heat in 5 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Knicks can’t get passed the second round just like the 76ers 😂
I’m looking forward to this it feels like we’re going in the trenches and it won’t be easy but I trust that Jimmy and spo will make it worth it
I just realized Stephen A wins either way:
If the Knicks lose, he won't be as disappointed because they defeated the Cavs, who Stephen A said had to beat cuz of Mitchell.
But if the Heat win, he gets to chill in Miami longer 😂
He's a genius for the taunting lol
Please y’all forget top defensive players in the NBA with the Bucks and they already on vacation. Miami relishes pressure and close games they seem to succeed when tempting fate, so when Miami wins the series you still not giving Miami props, that’s fine heat nation prefers it that way! ☄️
Jimmy butler will put the fear of god in them knicks lmao
Man ima be real…. idc if rj barrett doesnt score a single point this series, his only objective should be to hound jimmy butler
This is coming from the same man that said if Giannis plays the series is over
Seen Coach Budenholzer At Walmart Filling Out A Application🤣
Over the last 4 years this team has been to a finals and ecf. Same team. Put some respect on the heat.
Omg this guy here 😅😅😅😅 turn this into superhero vilian movie wow 😅😅😅
