New York Knicks are the Dallas Cowboys of the NBA 😂🤣😭
I’m not a Celtics fan by far but beating them with Tatum out… that’s weak af
The knicks need more defense.
He mad at Landry Shamet???? Who did you wanna bench?
Green is my favorite color.
The bias against the pacers is insane
I mean they overachieved by beating the Celtics I guess. It looked like that series was over before Tatum got hurt. But thats about it
Stephen A let the Bridges trade go, it happened, move on. You are keeping it alive
“Didn’t we change our mindsets when Jayson Tatum went down?”
If that’s not moving the goal post idk what is

Jalen bruson dribbling for 22 sec is like James harding dribbling stop dribbling pass the ball! Teaching the big guys to post up! Learn how to hit a 10.foot jumper in the lane!
Steven A. …Pettiness is a petulant personality trait. Pacers won . Knick’s lost. Way to crap on your team even though they didn’t meet the moment. It’s the first year this core has been together and they accomplished less than mediocre for the first time in forever. The didn’t overachieve or underachieve. They made it as far as they made it. This is the problem with talking heads who want to create stupid narratives instead of actually giving credit to the team that won.
Landry didnt wait, thats when he was allowed the shots! Thats when brunson amd kat were on the bench!
Evolution basketball yes with a touch of 80s lakers and celtics ball
Cancun
Pacers were the better“coached” team. Knicks were the more talented team by far
I wonder why he hit 3, threes at the last seconds of the game . The game is rigged the game is decided off who will bring more money into the nba finals,popularity and politics‼️SO HE TOOK 3, Three pointer to show the world if they let us play the games on our own I would have been shoot these three’s cooking folks . It don’t take a rocker science to realize hmm,if they lost from playing honest basketball he would not feel confident to shoot those three’s even if he made them. 💯
The Knicks got lucky that the Celtics were injured, that’s why the pacers made them look like an and1 team, because the Knicks aren’t a championship caliber team, never were.
Idk what Mr. Hero has over ESPN but it’s something crazy. 2 Mr. Hero ads within 1:45 seconds of each other.
The fact that Stephen A. is expecting Bridges to up his level of play, because of what the Knicks gave up to get him, is throwing blame. It’s not his fault the Knicks decided to give up 5 picks for him.
Yah Knicks in 6, Steven A was right Knicks will lose in game 6 😂😂😂😂
Steven A is a complete clown
This is actually bad for Luka
An OG told me that the nba has changed in the way that the teams that play a game and loose and then watch film after the game to improve are getting left behind cause the new era the coaches that make changes in game are going to win. Look at OKC coach he makes changes in game he ran a defense that timberwolves used on Jokic last year adjusted in game. It’s the coaches that can adjust in game not watch after and then make changes and it makes sense
Where's shannon?
If NY gets back a 80% Porzingis then that will open up a lot of things but they need to change their head coach
Why Molly keeps pouting after finishing a question… so annoying
Knicks fans really thought they were actually good 😂… Luck don't strike two series in a row 🍀🍀
They messed up when they gave the street names to the players ya didn’t win anything yet
I wish he would stop calling her "M&M" 🙄
SA, GA….can these guys put some creativity in giving someone a nickname?
If you out execute a team, that means you are the better team J.
These people get paid for weak opinions.
