I crashed out over that Detroit game too. Probably my worst (over an NBA game) since the 90s.
This is a dope line up. I love to see these guys chop it up together!
Jock is back for Atlanta NY is through dealing Atlanta in 4
Like JMac likes to say….F around and find out! If the Knicks stand 10 toes on bidness, this series is over in 5 in their favor. NO SLOW STARTS!😅
Our NY Knicks Fans talk like they have been in Championship. They have not. So give Brown the benefit of the doubt. You couldn’t talk to Thibs
I needed this, my three of my top Knicks guys talking from all the angles. Good and bad! Even better honestly! Mike Brown still has to win me over this postseason. Coach has to prove it with some series wins!
Sweep? CP must stand for Crack Pipe! 😅
Macri, CP and Dex – All Star line-up
Great convo today – love my guys!
Knicks in a gentlemens sweep!
After 5 years I learned CP’s real name 😭
MSGA I'll be in the house. LFGK
XFactor is who will be Knicks PG2. GTA has no playoff exp., and yet Brown intentionally GTA DNP vs Hawks last game was a sign Brunson will be forced playing additional minutes each series. Can his 4th qtr stamina hold up game after game?
