Knicks got top defense in playoffs. It's a wrap for Miami.
Knicks alllllllllllll day baby
Heat in 5 🔥🏀
Injuries have played a part in this whole playoffs so far 😔 sux for us we lost Randle 😥
miami averaged 124 points a game against the bucks… the knicks 99 against the cavs, the bucks are a way better team than the cavs… i do see thibs actually making adjustments game to game, but its just hard to see the knicks coming out of this after what miami and jimmy alone just did not to mention spo is a far better coach than bickerstaff is…
STEPHEN LIKE ALWAYS TALKING OUT OF HIS AZZ
Stephen keep on hating the heat as the keep making you look like a fool
knicks much better withous julius
Randle wouldn't be guarding Butler anyway. Hart and Barrett will be guarding Butler they'll be fine.
don't matter what tyou got on paper if you dont perform. Milwaukee defense was trash all series
Knicks in 5

Jimmy won't avg 37…he'll avg 35
Thank you Stephen! 'cause you're always wrong.
Miami in 5
Miami has the best player in the series in jimmy butler, who is not intimidated by anything. Meanwhile the knicks have julius randle, who is erratic and wild at times and complains to the refs too much. The heat defense is extremely physical, as we saw against giannis. Randle might be extremely frustrated trying to back down against guys like jimmy butler, bam, and even caleb martin. Lowry is a stout point guard who might have some effect against brunson, although brunson will still score on him. But brunson cannot back down jimmy butler in the post like he did in the cavs series against okoro and even donovan mitchell. Also josh hart has to be on his A game guarding Jimmy Butler.
I can't wait for Tom Thibodeau to guard Jimmy since he knows Jimmy so much and knows how to stop him. 🤣🤣Oh yeah Stephen A., Knicks defense is so much better than the Bucks. Good luck!!
Surprised no one's talking about Stephen A's peptobismo/ Pink panther outfit
KNICKS IN 5 !!!
LETS GO 🗽🗽🗽🗽
Wilbon gotta put some respect on Tyler Herros name.
