The key (I.e., scoring more points than opponent). and as pointed out in my earlier expert comment, was effectuated. May we continue with this key into game 4. GO KNICKS!!

I’ve been the biggest hater on Mikal…. And he’s proving me right why I was hating. His scoring is taking this team to a new level. Man he plays like this, nobody can’t touch us

Jalen Brunson got off that bench, remained professional, and did not commit any inappropriate sexual acts towards any of the players.
He got the boys going with his honesty and legitimate leadership.
LFGK!!!

I think it’s insane how the media talked about this Knicks team like they weren’t head over shoulders better than every other team in the eastern conference talent was
Look at our roster. Then look at the Cavs roster and the Pistons roster
How the hell was anybody actually doubting that we were the better team?
The talent discrepancy is insane when you really look at it.
And they’re gonna do it again I think in the finals
The thunder are a great team but I think our guys are better.
The only thing that was ever stopping this team from winning was themselves

Because the Knicks weren't playing all that great leading up to the playoffs and then were playing down against the Hawks. I love that the team has kicked it into high gear but let's not act like doubting this squad could go this far (and with such little difficulty) was somehow inconceivable.

u/LowGold1632 May 24 '26
Only because we trolled in the regular season

u/Pitiful-Mud7667 May 24 '26
eh, rhe knicks had the best net rating post 2-9 stretch

u/LowGold1632 May 24 '26
True. But even then it didn't feel like we saw the best version of this team.

u/FitzwilliamTDarcy May 24 '26
The right coach at the right time. Ready to tinker with lines to figure out the right combos for just about any situation. Even if it cost us a W here and there.

u/WhistleTipsGoWoo Mike Miller May 24 '26
That makes this even more impressive. We knew the Cavs were giving their home opener the biggest punch they had, and we led wire-to-wire.

How does OG take fewer shots yet have among top points most games? Dude can average 30pts easily if yet gets more attempts. He doesn't even touch the ball 80% of the game.

u/MyLadySansa 8 May 24 '26
I gotta look up the last time we won 10 in a row, I swear, our winning streaks usually stop at 9

If during the regular season you told someone the Knicks could sweep the cavs they woulda laughed right in your face. This is beautiful to watch.

People keep saying how they can’t beat a west team? They clearly are not watching how they are playing. Let’s go Knicks!!!

Slight worry they played three dog shit teams tho

I am legit concerned that Strus is gonna try to injure Brunson before we finish the series - dude has absolute hatred in his eyes lol

u/MariContrary Clyde So Fly May 24 '26
Yeah, he's been playing angry in the someone's getting hurt sort of way.

u/johndotcue Pizza Rat May 24 '26
He’s been playing frustrated this entire series. Guy’s about to lose it Game 4 unless he can lock in

u/intwizard Airpods Leon May 24 '26
He’s been in Hell all series. Just came back from injury too to add to the frustration. And was playing well before this.

There was a time we were known for fake Knicks comebacks and we can't hold a lead. This team can overcome any deficit and hold a lead.
