Knicks Facing MAJOR Test In MASSIVE First Round Playoff Series… | Knicks News
The New York Knicks have officially made it to the postseason and as a team that qualified for the playoffs, they have also earned a week off as they await their playoff opponent to be determined. The Miami Heat & the Philadelphia 76ers will face off in one of the play-in games in the East to determine who will be the 7 seed and thus face NY this Saturday in the first round of the playoffs. Some fans and insiders alike believed that NY should have lost against the Bulls, dropping to the 3 seed to face the Pacers, a far easier team than the Heat or 76ers. But Tom Thibodeau & NY believe the right move was made and the focus should now be on wanting to play ONE specific team in the first round… Troy Mahabir breaks all of this down!

we are not the type of team that blows out teams, i feel this helps us cause we know we have players who are not scared of the moment or pressure of playing in the garden
What also should be taken into consideration. Embied and Bam are going to battle and whoever wins will be bruised and beat up… Personally I would like to see the Knicks against the Heat. It will be redemption for Julius 😄
I think that , over a 7 game series the Knicks will be extremely difficult to beat… The team seems fearless and I just love that die hard mentality
Yup. I rather us face adversity early on and grow from that experience. Even if we lose, if we play hard, it will garner deserving respect from pundits and show them that we’re a threat. That being said, if we beat “tough” teams then it will make it a bit easier to advance in the playoffs
That’s that NY attitude & this team embodies that fully! I predict the Magic will beat the Cavs, the Magic plays defense & they have size at every position.
I really don’t care who we face whether it’s Miami or the 76ers!!!
One thing I do know that we are , we are a great team. We do not tank for nothing and whoever is in front of us. We are going to play hard hard hard.!!!
We are the Knicks we do not back down from nobody !!!
I need that orange Knicks hat anybody have a link? I need that‼️👀
butler gon lock brunson ass up
It doesn't matter
Bro, we are not ducking any team. No one gave us a chance, yet here we are. Let goooooo Knicks💯☝🏽☝🏽
I believe Philadelphia and Miami was hoping the Knicks would tank cause along with Milwaukee hope the Knicks get upset because they fear the Knicks !
I need that ball cap you're wearing!! 🔥🔥🔥
Drop me a link for it, pls…
Orange and blue sky's all day, every day !!! We ain't scared of anybody !!!
My only & major concern is finding that 2nd consistent scorer. I rather they play Philly. Miami is a tough out.
NY Knicks 🧡 are ready to play "In Your Face" basketball 🤬 either the 76ers or the Heat.
As long as the NY Knicks 🧡 get a well deserve long rest. 😇🛌🕊️
Mr Leon Rose 🌹 is my NBA GM of the year.
"Hands Down"! ☝️
He can't lock everyone up and he won't lock up Brunson either. Brunson has been taking it to everyone and double teams too
Since when Steven A Smith is a Knicks fan😢😢😢 last year or 2 years ago he said he will never watch the Knicks again
Bing Bong!!
Bing Bong!!
Knicks are #2. They have to get through us. Idk why we're treating play-in teams like they're above us. Yes, anything is possible, and we have to respect them, but they have to come to NY and show us. It's not the other way around.
The Knicks fear no one it's the eye test people folks are forgetting at the center position the Knicks have a two headed monster you got to beat the best to be the best enjoy this great ride Knicks fans let's go Knicks.
Playoff Garden isn't a nice place to play for teams.
Let’s go Knicks we got your back I’m proud of our Knicks ! Fabulous job congratulations 👏🏾👏🏾🔥😍
Whoever the Knicks face doesn’t matter, even though it would be sweet revenge to win against Miami, I believe the Knicks are capable of beating any team! Let’s Go
In The Villinova Boyz WE TRUST!!
I love ur Nice take!!!🔥
We don't afraid of any Fkn team!!
Who ever it is we gotta win that's the mindset
I believe we're on the cusp of a dynasty that will last at least 3 rings, if Dolan stays in the closet…As long as the Knicks believe that a 50 win team can take out a 62 win team, combined with the right Coach…we takin' that chip this year!!!
People sleeping on the Pacers and Magic.. both teams are athletic af
