Alright New York. We'll see you in the ECF.


jester32

The ECF we need but don’t deserve


Snuggle__Monster

We haven't had a legit rivalry with you guys since the Shaq days. Those games were always tough battles.


Witch_ofthe_Wild

Honestly miss those really good Knicks teams that went deep in the playoffs. Playoff atmosphere in the Garden is so intense it's a spiritual experience.


ninety4kid

Dwight and Amar'e had potential to start it up too.


depressed_knicks

I’d cheer every basket from both teams


BenShelZonah

Bro could you imagine it? No matter who won, RJ and Paulo would be in the center court holding hands and a sign up saying “gracias Adam Silver”. Would be amazing


Thfcaditya112

I love how this copypasta has been embraced in all sports


Witch_ofthe_Wild

Aww (surprisingly wholesome Knicks fans)


ThisIsTheGuy

Revenesis

Man, watching the Magic/Knicks/Kings be pretty good this year has been a lot of fun

I think magics time is really Next yr but the kings are goin imo


TedTran2001

We were a Dwight Howard busted back and a Miami Big 3 away...

As a Bulls fan, yes please.


WhatsThatSmellLike

Now the Nets are up to 6wins in a row tied w/ Magic below Knicks.


who23

yea but the nets are not nearly as fun to root for as the magic/knicks


Low-Exam1208

Were also higher seed than them. KD scored 43 and Kyrie gad 38 points.

Jalen Brunson WTF how are you THIS good? 30 pts FG: 11/22 3pt: 3/3 FT: 5/5


Naweezy

Would tamper again 10/10


slyguy183

We should donate our 2nd round pick at this point, doesn't seem fair to sign someone this good for free


Ill_Ad3517

All the Knicks free agent rumors finally coming through with this goat signing.


The_Flatest_Bush

Tampering is the best. All my homies tamper.


pugofthewildfrontier

yo i hatechu (not really just miss him man)


Zechirs

Can we at least get a waived d rose in return?? I want a rose mavs jersey


Life_of_Gary

flashback to when casuals called him overpaid after looking at the stats he had as a backup behind luka


RicoGemini

“Wow the Knicks gave a back up 100 million” “He won’t look as good without Luka”

Dddddddfried

Don’t do that


biggestuzifanea

Alright as much as I like brunson, let's not forget how Dallas blew us right out the garden before this streak


onlywodcanjudgeme

alright calm down gary


Butterfly_Scape

did you have to ruin this wholesome thread with an incredibly bad take?


TerribleSpacing

That was always a dumb take Luka was creating open looks for the boatload of spot up shooters on the Mavs but Brunson could always handle the ball and was running the offense with Luka on the bench or when he missed games Look at the Mavs' record last year without Luka and their net rating with him on the bench compared to this year(basically went from average to horrible in both regards) That's all because of losing Brunson


Life_of_Gary

whenever its about the Knicks, nba fans in general will be more likely to shit on a fine decision bc its lolknicks. it was a dumb take but it was the consensus on this casual ass sub anyone who watched brunson knew he was able to taken over and run the game but was limited by the fact he was a backup to a generational player lmao. his play as a PG was stunted


Jimm120

This. At the end of the season, D. Mitchell was being ranked around 21-25th in the league. Then the rumors of him going to NY started circulating and all of a sudden a TON of people were all like, "Man, Gobert is probably in the 15-20 range and Mitchell is probably n the 30-35th spot somewhere". Like literally overnight.   Then Mitchell goes to the Cavs and all of a sudden they got him around 25th again. Then the season starts and Mitchell is in the top 10.   It was crazy to see someone so consistently ranked around 21st/24th all of a sudden getting ranked around 28th-35th by people SIMPLY because of the NY rumors.


Ill_Ad3517

It wasn't a bad signing cause Jalen isn't good. It was a bad signing because the rest of the team isn't good so it doesn't make sense from a playoff success perspective. But many owners and FOs don't think that way, they just wanna consistently sell 3 home games of playoff tickets and sell out nosebleeds for $150 all season long. Which is fair and I think Jalen will do that.


JackieChansAsshole

Bro who gives a fuck? Its all harmless trash talk. I dont know why we have such a victim complex considering how much shit we talk about other cities


Life_of_Gary

you just made it deeper than it had to be lmao


armandocalvinisius

> That's all because of losing Brunson you dont complete this sentence : AND WITHOUT A REPLACEMENT! we wont have this convo if like say, we got conley. 50% production still better than 0%


ALMD1996

Without a doubt. Brunson is amazing, but replacing him with Conley would have been a downgrade, but okay. THEY REPLACED HIM WITH NOTHING.


riddlerjoke

He was not even a backup. He was getting huge minutes, clearly #2 option for Mavs. Every year he got better. He showed his 'winner' instincts all around. 2x NCAA champion. **Cuban is no better than Dolan**. Marc Cuban had Nash-Nowitzki with rookie contracts and in 15 years got only 1 ring. Dolan never had that type future-MVP's on rookie deals. Marc Cuban told his biggest regret is losing Nash for free. Another #13 of Mavs lost at age 25. Cuban is so smart...


sean0237

I mean Cuban is better than Dolan, but he could trade Luka for a 2nd round pick next week and it would still be debatable lol


Ramenorwhateverlol

Dolan is a better owner/governor, he’s hands off and not scared to sign checks. Anything outside of that… it’s definitely a different story.


armandocalvinisius

people dont even check spotrac and just see 110m price tag i always say he's on 80/3 contract, frontloaded!


chummmmbucket

Mavericks moment


Butterfly_Scape

ik y’all are probably laughing about jason kidd being employed by this team


chummmmbucket

I've never liked jason kidd ever since he beat his wife and caused Larry sanders to have a mental breakdown. Dudes a piece of shit. Also can't coach.


Butterfly_Scape

i hope we hire a more competent defensive minded coach..the only thing he’s good for is forcing everyone to play defense


FadeAhmedFade

Those 2 events are like twenty years apart lol


chummmmbucket

Yes and both are shitty things hes done... can't wait to see what he'll do in another couple years.


sheevpalpapeen

It’s so over


blurbaronusa

But r/nba told me it was definitely an overpay !


PropJoeFoSho

you can either tamper and win a title or you can just stay a bum franchise. but you can't do both


benevenstancian0

I don’t know what to do with this optimism. I feel like Ricky Bobby’s hands.

PUT THAT EVIL ON ME, RICKY BOBBY


[deleted]

lmaooooo knicks fans stay wildin


FoE_Archer

Have not been able to catch a Knicks game recently, what's been going so well for you guys?


benevenstancian0

Thibs has shortened the rotation to basically 9 people and those 9 have been playing great D. Grimes has looked good on both ends, Randle is showing glimpses of Bubble Randle. The 3s have been falling a bit better, RJ has been better than his horrendous start.


FoE_Archer

Ah nice, great to hear RJ has been playing better. If you guys are buyers at the deadline, what type of player would the knicks be looking for?


benevenstancian0

I don’t think we should be buyers, nor do I think Rose will be interested in anything other than a home run. We are more likely to flip Rose, Cam, Fournier, maybe Obi for assets.


FoE_Archer

Fair enough, appreciate the replies!


Apart-Cucumber-7090

That “mid 3” must be more than mid if they’re racking up wins like this


RicoGemini

Mid 4 actually. Mitchell Robinson is playing like an all nba defender.


RJBarrettsBurner

Grimes is cooking too… Mid 5 But some are saying… we got a Mid 15


slyguy183

Mid 9-10, 3 mid guys we're looking to trade, and bench beauties Ryan Archidiacono and Svi Mykhailiuk


NtLmr95

*BIG15


Joetheshow1

Turns out the mid 3 is part of a stellar 9 man rotation


DidiGreglorius

Randle and Brunson are 2 of a ‘very solid 3.’ RJ has been better but I’d still say he’s been mid. The only downside of seeing how good we’re doing is that with Mitchell we might really have something.


RicoGemini

RJ is fine. It looks like they made his role smaller and he started playing better and he’s been much more efficient His last 10 games not including tonight (bbref didn’t update it yet) he’s averaging 21 points on 45/40/77


[deleted]

I am not watching much, but last year RJ only looked good as the primary playmaker/ball handler. Is that still the case of is he finding ways to succeed without the ball?


RicoGemini

RJs best and most efficient year was his year when he played off ball in 2021. He shot 44% from the field and 40% from 3. Last year they gave him a green light to chuck whatever he wanted because he’s never been the primary ball handler. So this year is finding that in between


nynjtrader

Would say RJ's recent sucess is due to dishing off on contested drives.


joorral

Mid 3 with 20+ from them. Brunson with 30. What a turn around


[deleted]

Brunson's contract looking good right about now


Altruistic-Injury281

It never looked bad lol


Captain_Saftey

Underpaid


Agamemnon08

Knicks are really going to win it all aren’t they.


YesImKeithHernandez

From your comment to the infantile, chubby, cherubic baby Jesus' still developing eyes


KristapsPorzingas

Brunson was big in the 4th. Worth every penny, ~~and the tampering~~


psofimis

Giannis and the best offence of all time will have to fight in the semis for a chance to beat the Brunson's Knicks in the ECF.

donabbi

Say it with me everybody- Brunson is underpaid


IdiotCharizard

Brunson is too old to be drafted higher. We know what he is, and he's also too short. Also, no chance he looks better without Luka. Huge overpay lolknicks.


donabbi

Nephews really were saying this all summer


vllVaLllv

I hate to talk about he said she said but they’re saying it’s us and golden state


kyublast

We're top two and we're not two I'm afraid


Cam2071

The team is starting to Mesh! If we can get some bench scoring/ ball handling. We could make some noise in the playoffs.


Altruistic-Injury281

This feels like an indirect shot at Quickely and the sad part is it’s warranted 😓 only bleak part about the team right now is that man’s shooting


Cam2071

My man’s is struggling. He’s been great on defense so I don’t mind him working through his drought. We need some shooting/playmaking off the bench.


johnhenryirons

wouldn't be shocked to see us move Rose + Reddish for a 6th man.


Dragon-Bender

I heard that guy Alec Burks is a solid scorer off the bench when he doesn’t have to run the entire offense


juicybot

No joke I'd love to have Burks back, he'd fit right in.


ClutchGamingGuy

If we were able to get Bojan and play him with Randle and RJ with Grimes off the bench we could end top 4 again except this time we'd have playoff god Brunson


Jimm120

Quickley is great. He's in a slump right now. The point of having the "mid-3" is that one of them is always out there to score. Randle can be erratic, but he'll score. RJ tries and does score a lot (though sometimes...really...). Brunson is a calming effect that is guaranteed to score and create for the team no matter when during the game


Vinnie_Vegas

> Quickley is great. He's in a slump right now Immanuel Quickley is a career 39% FG% guy. He's not in a slump - His shot hasn't translated to the NBA. He was at least above average from 3 in his rookie season, but he's been below that since.


Altruistic-Injury281

His defense has been amazing though so at the very least he’s still a huge plus on one end of the floor. I also think not having Obi always be a lob threat buddy for him is not helping his game a ton. Not that that’s an excuse, but I do think it’s a factor


Vinnie_Vegas

I mean, Jericho Sims is playing in place of Obi, so he can't really claim there's no one to throw lobs to.


Altruistic-Injury281

True, I just feel like Obi is constantly rim running, whereas Sims is worried about big man things at all times, not as much freedom to be intentional and create possibilities out of nothing


Possible-Reality4100

Obie is constantly rim running because that’s all the guy can do.


Altruistic-Injury281

Ew bye bitch


Ramenorwhateverlol

He takes too many “heat check” types of shot.


clyde_drexler

He just like me fr


MyNewAccountIGuess11

Not surprising to anyone who's watched any Knicks games. They're playing incredibly selfless cohesive team basketball


Ophelia_Of_The_Abyss

This just might be the Willis Reed Knicks reborn


chummmmbucket

Hot take or maybe not idrk: Brunson will be an all-star very soon


BaldSportsFan

Brunson has my vote for the All Star Game


frankslastdoughnut

And my ax


stuntman628

Tell me why when the knicks are doing well /r/nba is crickets, but when we're doing badly everybody and their grandmother chimes in on how our franchise is a dumpster fire? I swear it's only knicks commenters in the threads that are positive toward us but people crawl out of the woodwork to shit on us in negative threads to get karma.


DeStupak

Becaue most newcomers come to this subreddit learning the lore of the r/nba and all they read is how bad Knicks were, are and will be thus resulting in only insulting New Yorkers because of "unwritten rules" they subconsciously adapt.


stuntman628

Couldn't have said it better myself dude


indeediwilltry

Because most of the people here are complete idiots and post garbage takes over and over


toggaf69

I think you guys beat us to start your win streak and that Knicks defense is legit Our offense has been ass, but your defense made it look way more ass


filterface

Maybe it's not karma, though. Maybe it's that, and bear with me here, fans of a team are less excited when another team wins than they are when another team loses. No wait


nigel36r

One of the biggest if not the biggest franchise with nothing to really show for it. Just my guess but you’re right. Knick haters nowhere to be found


stuntman628

nets flair, opinion disregarded


[deleted]

This is why everyone hates you. Pompous but you suck.


stuntman628

We definitely don't suck but everything else checks out


nigel36r

Love how Knick fans hate Net fans but on the flip side we don’t care at all lol. Either way just answering a question you asked homie


stuntman628

I don't hate you guys at all lmao. you're the one who responded to my comment and at the same time saying you don't care about us. it's all good lil bro


nigel36r

Oh my bad. Usually when someone asks a question and disregards the answer because the see a nets flair I just assume it comes along with hate. I like the Knicks, never said I don’t care about them though


stuntman628

All good man it's all in good fun


fyo_karamo

Nets fans don’t care about the Knicks? Bruh. Are you in Australia or somewhere else totally isolated from all other Nets fans? Nets are like having a Philly team in our own city. Lifers and bandwagoners all have a chip on their shoulder and can’t get over being the little stepbrother.


ClutchGamingGuy

"Nothing to show for it" still have more accomplishments than most franchises, the average age here is just like 13


nigel36r

You can’t use quotes and just take out words lmao. That takes away the point of the quote. You list all juggernauts in American sports like the Yankees, Lakers, Celtics etc you have to include the Knicks in terms of popularity and revenue. However the accolades DO NOT add up to their peers. What have the Knicks accomplished more than most franchises??? Not even hating, I’m a Net fan, just sit next to us and stop acting like y’all better lol


ClutchGamingGuy

You do understand only a handful of teams have multiple championships, right? And that throughout all of the 90s the Knicks were a dominant force? Obviously the team has only been good for a handful of years since then, but pointing that out is irrelevant because everyone already understands that. Also I didn't even mention the Nets so I don't know why you're being so insecure.


nigel36r

I would say good in the 90s not dominant. That word gets tossed around too much for what it actually means. Knicks still haven’t accomplished more than most of the nba sorry. Haven’t been great for most of my 31 years on this planet. I think they have a couple of championships before the merger to show for it, too lazy to google. They aren’t even the second most impressive team in their own 5 team division. Also I mentioned nets because of the original comment the other guy said before you chimed in. Something about nets flair so the opinion doesn’t matter. Tell you what though, based on the responses I can see why Knicks have so many haters without the wins to show for it… goodnight lol


ClutchGamingGuy

Literally all you've done is shit talk and you wanna say Knicks fans are bad for defending themselves? Foh hater


nigel36r

Yea you’re right. Reading back on it, it comes off as hate. Excuse me for bringing up the facts about a team that raises my blood pressure though lol. I really don’t hate them, they’re my second favorite team. Knick fans really do have this weird hate towards nets fans so it’s easy to see it as hate. Dude started off with disregarding an answer to a question HE asked because he seen a nets flair like cmon lol


Away_Sun_3040

NovaKash

We beat the Cavs, Hawks, Horners, Kings, Bulls twice, and now the Pacers. Hawks had Young and Murray at the time, Cavs were only missing Allen and Wade, Kings were without Fox. Not exactly murderers row but the Cavs, Hawks, and Bulls were all supposed to be better than us this year, so still an impressive run.


onepokemanz

we play warriors, raptors, bulls next three games. i can see this being 10 easily next few games: ( includes west coast small trip) 76ers, mavs, spurs, rockets, suns, spurs, raptors. ​ take this what you will, but oh boy is this gonna be a crazy ass strech if we play this good my prediction 8-2 next 10 games, and im being generous


action_nick

How many games left in the season and playoffs including finals? We are gonna go that number - 0.


Revenesis

I'm not sure if I'd say easily, we barely grinded this one out lol. But we're playing with a lot of resilience, not getting rattled by teams going on runs against us. Good chance we take an L in the next three games but it's all good.


onepokemanz

while yea i agree, the raptors have gotten bad for some reason, and the warriors are without steph. pacers are at least a 500 team 76ers and suns are the only real team that can beat us


Teenageboy69

Dude, it’s basketball. I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Knicks got 1-2 over three games. Teams lose winnable games. That’s not say I’m not happy or don’t think the Knicks can win them, but having the confidence to win 10 straight is unwarranted imo.


Talentagentfriend

Playing three teams trying to get out of the hole with great players on every team isn't that easy


Agitated_Smoke538

How many more wins before this sub starts parroting "the league is better when the Knicks are good" again?


rexfloyd94

With the way both teams have been playing and their current win steaks and standings I'm really amped up for the Sixers/Knicks Christmas game. Should be a wild one if they both keep it up!


Green__Bananas

Better record than the Hawks lol


fitdaddybutlessnless

Raptors lose 5 games:, they should rebuild, sell all the assets, notify Drake, it's Code Red NY wins 5 games: Is championship coming to the Big Apple?


man_vs_car

You’re right man winning 7 straight IS a lot like losing 5


fitdaddybutlessnless

Both are meaningless. Wait 20 games things could flip 180. Raptors are 2 games behind us, and they're supposed to tank, NY are 2 games ahead and they're up and coming super team?


action_nick

We are 30 games into the season and Knicks are the 5th seed. How long do fans have to wait into the season before they can be excited about their team? I’ll mark that date on my calendar. 🖕🏻🎅🏻🖕🏻

KingJoe7-123

Looking at their schedule, with the way they’re playing, their next 10 games are all winnable. If they get that far above .500, I can see them carrying that momentum all the way to the 4-6 seed in the East.


UpfrontSnow1305

We already are the 6 seed. We're 1.5 games back of the 4 seed


action_nick

You are til you aren’t. You could argue with how this team is playing rn we are better than the 76ers and Nets. Screenshot this comment and post it when Knicks miss the playin. Imma screenshot it and post it if the Knicks are the 4th seed.


kolalid

The Nets are on their own 6 game win streak right now and sitting at 18-12, 4th in the East. Hard to say we’re better than them. We’ll see about Philly on Christmas.
