    Knicks are just hitting every shot. Finals aren't going to be a coronation

    Anyone can just run and hit shots, takes no talent at all...

    It's not him, it's just that he has no help, is suffering from a lingering injury, stayed up too late last night, is facing the best team of all time, coach is not letting him run the team, the refs are not calling fouls for him, is tired from having to play defense, played too many minutes during the regular season, might have a concussion, isn't even supposed to be the 1st option, has no lob threat, isn't getting help 1-1, the ball has too much air, is not getting good screens, is now older......

    So really it's not his fault. ...

    Honestly I never got Shamet or Fields sorted. Also Tillman puts his shrimp shack logo on everything now. Confusing.

    Is Lerbon coming home for one final “run”/retirement tour (even though he reportedly doesn’t want one)? Trade for Giannis? Get both? Will they extend Mitchell? Should they want to? Will they extend Harden? Should they want to? Are Mobley & Allen gone? Just one? Will Kenny get fired?

    Are the Knicks this good, or is their competition just that bad?

    The Cavs look like a team that played two 7 game slugfests without more than a day of rest before this series.

    That's on them, they should've put away both teams earlier

    Cavs were done after that game 1 collapse

    but still, the Knicks have looked like the best team in these playoffs by far since game 4 vs the Hawks

    Harden can't wait for his trip to the Bolivar Peninsula.

    While I think whoever comes out the West will beat the Knicks, I'm glad they won because they at least matchup better with the Spurms/OKC floppers than the Cavs.

    Whichever GM gives Frauden an extension will be fired within 5 years.
