Knicks for clicks is peaking rn
Yes, Detroit can make a run. Bickerstaff is a great coach!
Come on man!!! The Knicks didn't have 3 starters playing in that Detroit game. You guys are soo disingenuous it makes me sick.
What’s crazy is this Knicks team has shown resilience in the playoffs and Vince is saying “the second things go wrong” is a problem. Well what happened in Detroit last year? The Knicks were down in every game, didn’t fold, came back and won. Same thing in Boston down 20+ x2 and came back to win both those games and the series. Got outcoached and out executed by Indy in a bad matchup for them. There are problems with this Knicks team but I wouldn’t say resiliency is the issue
How did Ausar Thompson put Jalen Brunson on lockdown when Jalen Brunson put him on skates in Game 6 for the game winner?
BUT ALL THESE TEAMS YOU GUYS ARE TALKING ABOUT THE KNICKS BEAT THEM WHEN ITS MOST NEEDED IN THE PLAYOFFS AND PROOF YOU ALL WRONG
Ausar Thompson had 1 good game defending jalen Brunson.
Brunson was the best player in the Detroit series.
Everybody is better than Jalen Brunson until it’s time to be better than Jalen Brunson. Knicks in 26
Fellas: You completely left out that Knicks two best defenders; OG and Deuce, will be back for the playoffs. Defense travels and saves you when shots aren’t falling.
It's a roller coaster Year by the definition of the over sensationalizing media. They had one bad losing streak and they had a subpar month of january. The first two and a half months they were one of the best teams in the league which led them to the cup win in vegas. Currently they've won 10 of their lastCurrently they've won 10 of their last 12 games going into the All-Star break.
simply stated yes they can make a run at the finals
Whose the joke black dude? What a casual
They cut this because Brian pissed everyone off saying he's not going to do his job and report about anything thats directly related to the NBA he's not going to step on anyones toes and give a non ESPN biased take on any of the issues. Tanking any level of credibility he had left.
Saying Knicks don't know how to handle adversity is the most ridiculous statement by anyone in the media! Dude don't even watch games. Who's paying this brother 😂😂
Yall pander for the Knicks every single year
I don't think they watch the knicks. Shoutout to Windy for being honest. The rest dont have a clue… sorry not sorry.
Who are these guys lol
The Knicks are 35 -20 they make it seem like they're losing and sliding to 7th the Knicks are really good don't let the media tell you otherwise
Yes Stewart was going to apparently “stop” Kat, and Asur stoped JB in the playoffs , lol Jb had a dagger game winner and a 40 piece
WHO ARE THESE 3 BULLSHITTERS? THE KNICKS PLAYED DETROIT WITHOUT 4 STARTERS. THE KNICKS PLAYED INDIANA WITHOUT 3 STARTERS. BOTH OUTCOMES WERE READILY PREDICTABLE. WHEN THE KNICKS START ALL THEIR ROSTER THEY WIN IMPRESSIVELY.
Had a rough January and now we a roller coaster
When the ball moves they win & Jalen doesn't score so much
Exatly, play offs are completely different, just ask the Celtics
Lmao the knicks dont know how to handle adversity??? Missed the whole boston series last year huh? Maybe, just maybe, the knicks are at the point where the reg season is just dragging on and they're naturally gonna have ups and downs and nothing matters until the playoffs.
Talking about our lows when we had a stretch of losses when our staters were injured? Okay 👍🏿.
Knicks will win the East. End of conversation. And i’m coming back to this video once they do for the Haters.😂
Guy in the middle with the Big head calling the Knicks front runners is a clown.😂
Man, I hope the Wendy cartoon motives turkey neck to hit the gym 😂😂
Who is this clown. Did he not watch Knicks post season at all?
Knicks is the best team and how did you guys projections worked out last year?
We lost to all the top teams and performed in the playoffs, regular season doesn’t whole too much weight in the playoffs, so stay tuned.
The black dude is a pistons reporter if I’m not mistaken.
So nuff said
The key word to the regular season is "context" when evaluating certain wins and losses. That come playoff time you know it won't be same.
The Knicks had a Trade Sickness with players not wanting to get Traded!!! Now that trade deadline is gone its clear sky's and we coming for the Chip!!!
I lost faith in the integrity of the National Basketball Association after watching Jackson Hayes first dunk in the NBA dunk contest 😳
It's fairly simple. Losing games where they are missing Mitchell Robinson or KAT fouls out. Losing games where two or more of Mitch OG and McBride are out. They always score. They fall apart on defense without key guys.
vinnie is a knicks hater. there, i said it. even without that, his whole demeanor is annoying and snobbish.
Detroit WILL NOT BEAT KNICKS IN PLAYOFFS. DETROIT WILL END UP JUST LIKE THE CSVS LAST 2 YEARS. NUMBER 1 SEED AND LOST 😂😂😂
Vince vince vince lmao
Out of all the teams in the east NY scares me the most. Because they are the most talented. They are also the most unpredictable. If they're on, not even hot but not completely off, they can blowout anyone. Blowout , not just beat. That kind of range is well beyond Detroit, Boston or Cleveland. I know what to expect from those teams, but the Knicks are unstoppable at times
The Knicks have a lot of wins this season where it wasn’t pretty but it was gritty. Those type of wins don’t happen if the team can’t handle adversity.
Sports media will always take the "half empty glass" view of the Knicks – even if they win a championship title.
I don't want to hear ANYONE say that they always believed in the Knicks.
Every team in the east been up n down except pistons why do the knicks get labeled roller coaster lmao
These dudes are hilarious.
Knicks haters gonna hate 😂
On skates with the pull up three!! 😂
Brunson was locked down? OK, I was watching a different series. If averaging 31.5 a game is being locked down, I hope he gets locked down again!
I think that with effort and especially Jose Alvarado, and let’s not forget Tyler Kolek, who is a passing machine, the Knicks can win anything
Guys when we lost to.the pistons we have no O.G, NO TOWNS. NO DUECE No Mitch i dont think that game. But lets see after the all star break then judge
we’re using the injury excuse for the pistons losing to the Knicks in the playoffs? When Knicks Lost to Indiana with all their injuries in 2024, not a peep was said
So the knicks were down 20 points three times in the playoffs and won every single one of those games. 2/3 of thpse game being the first game of the series and won and they cant come back from adversity? like what do u stupid fucks even be saying fr. not everyone should get a micro phone.
A perfectly healthy Knicks team with all of the lucky breaks in our favor could win. But let’s be serious…KAT is a knucklehead. Brunson has serious defensive deficiencies. OG and Mitchell have injury histories. Hart is a streaky shooter…It’s frustrating because I’ve been a Knick fan my whole life. And I do believe that this team has the most talent of any team in my lifetime (41 years)…We have the ability and the talent. I think we need the luck.
What does Vince think frontrunner means? Found that comment pretty silly
