The Knicks two best players are traffic cones on defense. That is never winning a title.

This conference final run will be viewed like the 2007 Jazz, 2013 Grizzlies, 2019 Blazers. Random flukes by teams that were never really that close.

Nah respect the 2013 Grizzlies that was a legit team

 

[Don Homer]

Haliburton deadass got more playoff moments than Dame Lillard. Haliburton was drafted THIS DECADE

 

[AAKing23]

Bad luck ain’t the reason they didn’t resign Jimmy Butler

fukk that nikka we were still unlucky with him too

 

[UpAndComing]

Is Brunson a "fake" great player?

Celtics have seen this story already with Isaiah Thomas

2021 Trae Young led Hawks EFC run
2016 Isaiah Thomas led Celtics EFC run

This would've been a sweep if IND didn't blow a 20pt lead in G3

You can't use game 3 as an example to call it a sweep when game 1 was much more egregious. Having a 20pt lead in the 2nd qtr isn't exactly a guaranteed victory. It was a 13pt lead at halftime and 10 into the 4th. Pacers hit like 6 threes in 90 seconds in game 1 and knicks missed many free throws. Everything had to go right for pacers and it did. Never seen anything like that before. Series should be 2-2. That was the dagger.

Thibs has been the same since the bulls he trusts a group of players (7-8) the rest get glued to the bench

He’s gonna run that group into the ground, he played jimmy butler 48 minutes three straight playoff games and 5 total in 2013 playoffs

Played hart 48 minutes multiple games last playoffs. Dude always has been terrible with minutes and rotations.

 

[Guvnor]

Not a Knicks fan fwiw, but my perspective:

I watched a lot of Thibs back from his Chicago days. His coaching ability is capped at ECFs appearances. He's not going to win a title.

Hart & Bridges are role players at best. Bridges contract isn't attractive for his output but I think he's in the last year of that at least. Hart is a great rebounder for his position but he's inconsistent on offense.

Can KAT & Brunson play together long term?

Bridges I can't stand his shot man.

Maybe Kat and Bunson can stick together but can that get you a chip...I don't think so.

this was when Morey went on a press run and said he wouldnt trade Simmons unless it was for a top 15 player. We coulda had a Hali x Maxey backcourt

Somehow this the same nikka that did this a year ago but when he play the Pacers you see what it is. The Sixers are the unluckiest team in sports history

he came back down to earth the following series lol. nikkas going off against Philly is a tradition

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

I’m hanging out that train window again, Knicks in 5

That sissy @Gil Scott-Heroin was on his way to upping some more Half-a-burden threads and had to pump the brakes

The Jinx strikes again.

 

[daboywonder2002]

Ya'll know what these conference finals have shown me? Clear gaps between superstars. There is a gap between Haliburton and Brunson. Same with SGA and Ant man. I don't care about teams or any of that. If these players switched teams. I think the Knicks and Wolves would be up 3-1. Haliburton and SGA have shown that they are above Brunson and Edwards. Gap may not be big. But it's there.

 

[mastermind]

Haliburton. I genuinely didn’t believe in your game.

 

[Tookalossfellbackcameback]

2021 Trae Young led Hawks EFC run
2016 Isaiah Thomas led Celtics EFC run

That 2021 Hawks run with Trae was some "once in a lifetime" shyt and basically ruined the Hawks franchise...




The C's realized IT led them as far as he could and completely rebuilt that team.

Let me find out that @Squirrel from Meteor Man is actually Morey's burner all this time -

Sacramento doesn't want to give up Fox in the deal, but I could see them considering it with the emergence of Haliburton and the drafting of Mitchell.

If they can get off Buddy’s deal and move Haliburton, it’s worth Ben Simmons. Haliburton will never be as good as Ben despite Ben’s flaws

He really said trade Halburton for Ben.
