WE IN THE FUCKIN PLAYOFFS LETS GOOOO
Officially WE HERE!
Playoffs 2023 Here we come!
Thank you to all of these players for hustling like madmen this season, you deserve everything good coming your way!
Obi Toppin showing he does have it when needed
Now that the playoffs are clinched just play Fournier and the fucking kids man.
I wanted to kms when Hart went down
TOOK CARE OF BUSINESS AT HOME. HERE COME THE KNICKS!!!!
I may have to buy a Hartenstein jersey
Great win. This honestly was one of the most smoothest game to watch from an offensive perspective as this was the best ball movement I’ve seen from this team this year. On the season we average 22.7 assists which is second to last. Tonight we had 31 assists without RJ and Randle because the ball sticks less and players are just trusting the next pass and moving without the ball. Thibs needs to show this game in the film room to all our players as far as what our offense should look like.
#HIT THE MOTHERFUCKING MUSIC
Jalen is a fucking boss
OFFICIALLY BACK IN THE PLAYOFFS BABY!!! LETS GOOOOO!!!!
First Team All-Random Knick Killers:
G: Gabe Vincent
G: Corey Kispert
F: Taurean Prince
F: Kelly Oubre Jr.
C: Kelly Olynyk
How close are they to clinching the 5th seed?
Been one hell of a season. Let’s keep it going!
NO ONE WANTS THIS SMOKE IN THE PLAYOFFS
This team is just different. Last year we would’ve blown this. There was no point in the second half where I thought they’d come back
Playoff team 2 of past 3 years
Playoffs bitch
Say what we want about Thibs. I don’t like how he keeps players in during blowouts and shit but can’t argue with two playoff appearances in three seasons
Obi looking like a real nice player when he gets legitimate run.
For all the criticism Thibs has gotten as a head coach, he’s helped us clinch a playoff berth for the second time in three years. Two top six finishes with no superstar player.
This man deserves his flowers.
– The Knicks guaranteed playoff basketball with a win, and it was a nice one. A mixed first half offset by a great second half. Brunson, Grimes, Quickley, & Toppin were all superb. iHart continued his great form. Win by committee
– The Wizards were short-handed and still caused trouble in the first half but predictably imploded in the second half. Wes Unseld Jr. deserves better.
– The NBA as a whole is better when the Knicks are in the playoffs. 2nd playoff berth in the last 3 years. File this one under “Things you love to see”
PLAYOFFS BABY SMDFTB LFGK
JB may not get the all star, MIP, or all nba nominee to show how effective he was this season, but he’s proved to be a franchise changing player.
We got good pieces for the playoffs. Obi needs to be played more instead of just relying on Randle. Brunson must stay healthy or we’re done.
I was thinking the knicks bench their players the final 3 games…but we really should go up against the cavs instead of boston. We gotta play until we clinch the #5 seed
[I believed in Grimes and he delivered](https://www.reddit.com/r/NYKnicks/comments/129ujnd/knicks_pr_rj_barrett_illness_is_out_for_tonights/jep2jwk/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&utm_content=1&utm_term=15&context=3)
But man was that a great second half adjustments. Obi and Grimes playing the entire half and just providing nonstop energy. Of course guys like iHart, Robinson and Quickley shouldn’t go unnoticed but just having Brunson be so consistent for us is great to watch every night. Playoff bound, baby!
All in, all one?
Clunkier than We Here, but the team isn’t.
##THEY SAID WE’D BE A PLAY-IN TEAM AT BEST
##THEY SAID BRUNSON WAS OVERPAID
##THEY (including most of us) SAID RANDLE COULDN’T BOUNCE BACK
##WELL GUESS WHAT?
##PLAYOFF BASKETBALL IS BACK AT MSG!
##WHATEVER THEY SAY NEXT, LETS PROVE THOSE MOTHERFUCKERS WRONG
##LETS GO KNIIIIIIICKS!
Those Knicks playoffs crowds are going to be crazy
Atlanta just made the dumbest foul in nba history and it may help us get the 11 pick.
GO NEW YORK GO NEW YORK GO
Quentin Grimes is dat dude
Who’s nervously watching the mavs game right now lol
We are ONE disgruntled superstar away from a championship. What a time to be alive
Honestly the team closes much better without RJ or Randle in the lineup. Ball moves way better.
