"I got traded to New York—the team I grew up cheering for, the team me & my mother always had so much love for…It’s an honor to be wearing this jersey, I don’t take it for granted…Really a childhood dream come true”
–– KAT
Thinking about how the end of the season is always sort of sad…and you sign off to people till the fall… and lament what happened…and try to justify what was good and try to feel positive about next year.
…And how none of that shit applies.
"We turned the ball over a lot first and foremost, and also we were fouling a lot"
–– Jalen Brunson when asked about the second-half 24-8 free throw disparity in favor of the Spurs as the Knicks lose Game 3 at MSG 115-111
Hard to keep getting yourselves out of holes you've dug at the start of each half. Defense was a mess when SAS pushed during those stretches.
Nothing from Mikal, Shamet, Deuce, Mitch.
Lost the TO battle 13 to 8.
Officiating easy to point at, but Knicks got plenty to clean up.
The New York Knicks are going to the NBA Finals for the first time in 27 years.
They’ve won 11 straight playoff games and have an average margin of victory of 39.3 points in their three close-out games.
A Jalen Brunson-led team can, in fact, be a serious title contender.
Biggest possession of 4Q for me by far.
Mikal’s bailout 3 with the former DPOY draped all over him and KAT pinned under the basket with ~0% chance of an offensive rebound.
7 point Cavs lead going the other way and likely 2:25 the earliest the Knicks would see the ball again.
Shout out to all the Knicks fans who listened to Breen and Clyde bullshit in 4th quarter in the hundreds of Knicks games in which the Knicks were getting blown out over the first two decades of this century
You deserve tonight
The 2011 season that Eli Manning put together is one of the greatest single seasons I’ve ever seen from a quarterback. He put that team on his back and carried them to comeback wins over and over again.
