And people called Jaylen Brown overpaid last year lol.
It appears the Knicks want Boston
The Knicks loading up just to run into [these two] (https://imgur.com/a/sCayzXr) come May … Sad to see their fans get some false hope
Knicks will be really good again. If Hartenstein leaves that’s a big hole to fill though.
O/U 5.5 games played in the 2025 postseason?
These 2 will be waiting.
This is the best Knicks team in like a decade so don’t blame them for going all-in. Although, I feel like their bigs situation might get a little rough and could totally see them getting knocked out by like the Bucks (assuming healthy Giannis)
It’s times like these I wish we had some physical size that can score down low. You basically can’t 5 out that team. You gotta attack brunson, but he’s a better defender than you’d think he’d be. He’s not good but he’s not Luka.
Curious to see how the Knicks deal with the one ball thing. They do have some 2018 Celtics vibes in terms of the dynamic. A lot of those guys that carried that team last year are going to be taking significantly reduced roles if the team is healthy. Randle needs his shots or else he gets pouty. They’re all going to have to sacrifice. That’s an underrated dynamic, especially with guys like Hart and Randle who are playing for their next contract. We will see. On paper, they’re formidable.
I just saw a Knicks fan say that bridges is less redundant with OG than Paul George. It’s also not gonna stop brunson being abused. All I can say is imagine if we paid 5 firsts for Jrue. Would have been clowned non stop.
So excited for the Knick fans shit talk just for this dude and Randle to get played into the ground by Thibs and be injured by the time they reach our part of the bracket, if they do at all
Seeing this contract it’s times like these l love Brad Stevens and not over paying guys.
it’s pretty wild that we just witnessed the C’s roll through the playoffs with KP barely out there and people are arguing the Knicks are close
I saw Knicks fans saying he’d stay and take a pay cut 😂 once Brunson hits his player option, they’re going to be balls deep in second apron penalties
all that to be our annual stepping stone to the finals
Last year it was MIL as the off-season chatter…this year NY
They are going to be so overrated next year. I’m already knowing everybody gassing them up too I see the play
We do everything better than they do
Knicks are a good all around team, but they just lack the overall top end talent.
At the end of the day, they rely on a smaller, worse version of Luka to generate most of their offense. OG and Bridges are not JT and JB. Randle scares no one. Their bigs are non shooters.
There is no avenue towards the Knicks putting together a roster that matches up with the Celtics.
Oh no!
The Knicks may be the best average team ever
They gonna be fun to watch
Knicks are gonna be a really tough out if they’re all healthy; with Thibs coaching, and the injury concerns of Robinson, OG and Randle, who the hell knows if this happens. But they have a ton of talent, chemistry and grit/hustle on this roster, and they’re well coached. And their bench with Hart, Deuce, and DiVincenzo is gonna be very good.
Also, unlikely they re-sign Hartenstein now I believe. OG just pushed him out of their price range iirc.
But their spacing is gonna be pretty ass. Mitch or Hartenstein a non factor from 3, and Randle is a 33% shooter from 3. That defense is gonna be fucking elite, though. They’re easily gonna be the hardest defensive matchup for Tatum and Brown now, and a tough matchup in a 7 game series. Knicks already play us pretty damn tough, and they added a huge piece in Mikal.
It’s cool to see a team go all out and let the chips fall where they may. Lot of things can go wrong, and they’re making a run for a ring. It’s what every fan hopes their team will do. And they chose to build a team of super role players surrounding Brunson, instead of the superteam approach that the Clippers and Suns have tried (and failed).
Celtics in 5.
If all goes well this Knicks team has a legit shot at taking the Celtics to game 6 next season.
I feel like NY is making moves that won’t lead to a title but will totally wreck their franchise in 3-5 years.
We are going to see a random summer clip of Knicks fans chanting: “We want Boston!!” aren’t we?
This is awesome. Big Boy Basketball Time
Don’t care Celtics in 5
