FOR THE FANS, BY THE FANS!!!

When he said “Hartenstein is probably better than Zeller” I was like oh okay so we aren’t the only fan base who thinks players are better than they are 😂😂
Im sorry but whattt? Knicks fans can’t be that delusional. Brunson is in not even in the same league as jimmy butler like???? The audacity to say Brunson is better is mind boggling, no other fan base would say this
As a Knick fan I still have to give it to jimmy as the best player in the series. He’s a beast on both ends. He guarded Giannis and Lopez while dropping 50 on jrue. Wtf
Brunson is the best player in this series
Knicks might need to play small ball Randle at the 5
Alex yes… jalen is the best player. REPRESENT
Yeah it’s 50/50 oh wait is 3-1 in the reg season 50/50 lol
Let's go we're ready to go and we are going to kick some butt
Let's go we are going to kick some butt and we're ready to go ask Knicks fans❤❤❤
Thank you for what you guys do Alex j.d.cp
Great job guys on your channel it's absolutely
Knicks in 5. Heat are too injured. 7 home games this round. See you at game 4!!
Cmon Alex, I know bias is a factor but clearly Jimmy is the best player in the series prior to going into it. The man just averaged near 38 on 60% shooting and above 40% from three that’s absurd.
Let's Hear It For NY!!❤❤❤
We’re gonna surprise everyone again, Knicks in 6
This is my first time betting – and I want in! Can anyone give me an advice which team should I go for?
👍
Wait so do we have home court advantage now because we're a higher seed or does Miami have it because they beat a higher seed??? I NEED TO KNOW?!?!?!
I'm really glad Barrett is going into this series on a high note. I look forward to seeing him attempt to lock up Jimmy and continue his streak of good play. I also look forward to see Obi go crazy with this uptempo offense with Randle out…. But who the hell is backing up Obi at the PF spot, especially with Sims' injury?!?!
New York Knicks are going to the Eastern Conference Finals in 2023🔥🔥🔥…Go New York Knicks! 🔥🔥🔥This is how Legends are made. 🔥🔥🔥
Jimmy is gonna have to have another historic performance for Miami to have a chance. Knicks are just too deep and have multiple players that can have big games.
Knicks in 5
Anyone else notice RJ's weight loss? I was looking at photos from games in feb and game 5 in cle and he looks a lot slimmer and could be why hes playing so much better.
I’d love to see Patrick Ewing be at the garden
Rj needs to continue dominating his matchup… we win… bbq chicken that Miami wing
Spo was assistant for Riley during those 90s matchups and thibs was van gundys assistant… so both have that experience
The knicks going to finals, not up for debate.
Jimmy is a great player who did his thing over and over again against the Bucks.
But why? Because the Bucks did not adjust to him.
Thibs is a different coach.
The knicks got girth 😮
Heat beat a Giannis-less Bucks while the Knicks dominated a healthy Cavs
Jimmy is the best player in this series, I love Jalen but come on Alex don’t be such a homer
Im more worried about Bam than Jimmy
another thing im worried abuot is our boys looking at & chirping at the refs if they think they got fouled as they are running back on defense & the other team is already bringing the ball up….GET BACK ON D & SHUT THE FUCK UP BOYS!!!!!
Jalen is a legend but he's not better than Jimmy. Defense matters, he can't guard me.
Y'all gotta stop making the fanbase look like we're not knowledgeable.
Knicks can beat the Heat without Julius
Knicks in 5
The only way the Knicks lose this series is themselves. No ball movement, RJ goes back to bricking 3s and not attack the basket, and silly turnovers. Otherwise, the team has more than enough to beat the Heat and have a good decent coaching staff to play the right person.
a Liverpool heat fan, not sure it gets much worse lol
Julius Randle has yet to explode in a playoff game.
Knicks in 4
I'm gonna give my prediction. Knicks in 7. Jimmy Buckets will do his thing tho

Cedi Osman on Brun. What was THAT about.
alex trataros is crazy asl. no jalen brunson isnt better than jimmy butler not even remotely close. and im a bulls fan…second, spo is a GREAT coach. all time great coach, top 15. but he didnt take jimmy anywhere. jimmy took his team to the finals, he made the big time plays. a coach can only do so much in the nba. i think alex is a jimmy hater and it’s obvious he just discredited everything jimmy has ever done, i wish i could get on here and debate w him.
I like listening to other teams prespectives on series but did bro just said brunson better than jimmy
THE KNICKS HAVE HOME COURT ADVANTAGE IN MIAMI AND NEW YORK…. KNICKS FANS ARE UNIVERSAL 🗽🗽🗽
Watch out for Jimmy Butler. He has to be checked and stopped early. He is a formidable scorer in playoffs. Slowing down Jimmy Butler is Knicks’ No. 1 priority. Knicks have to stop Jimmy Butler from scoring.
Looks like Alex is talking to himself
Jimmy is clearly the best player in this series…Knicks I believe have the deeper bench
The Knicks primary concern should be Julius Randle quitting on his team like last game.
