NY really not scared of any squads in the East* outside of a healthy Celtics.

And that doubt vs them bozos does fall heavy on Dubious’ shoulders. But here we are, in his prime so it’s now or never. Methinks this postszn performance will help determine his true longevity w/ the club.

Bucks just sealed their fate. Embiid is soft. Miami not scary to OG.

The Clips are just a game and a half out of 1st place in the West...

The only real threat to Nuggets IMO.

Hopefully injuries and them not getting in their own way don't derail a WCF matchup.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Talent equal, I just don’t see how a Doc Rivers team gets past a Nick Nurse team.

Looking forward to that chess match.

I mean to be fair he arguably out coached Nurse in the Sixers vs Raptors series.

Also weren't you very critical of Nurse when he was in Toronto?

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Lakers need to win a chip bro.

Saying this with a Knicks jersey is WILD

 

[MVP]

Would not be surprised one bit if it's a finals rematch from last season.

 

[Coupé It]

I’m hoping Barry Jackson is wrong again here.

This is devastating

I know you don’t think this the same thing from last time, big brother?

Little bro grew up now and time to take out some long-standing frustrations.

You’re trying to me it’s not championship or bust in Los Angeles? That’s what you’re trying to tell me.

Idk why I’m asking you, you’re not even in Los Angeles.

But when the hell haven’t the Lakers been a champion or bust franchise? Like that’s one of the things I respect about them.

 

[don ramon]

saying the knicks have been getting "gassed this year like any other team" in here is quite a leap from the ocassional enthusiastic words shared about the knicks' trajectory and their recent successes.

"knicks are doing well this season" = "knicks gettin gassed up, b"

"we?"

you're just an irrational fan. sit down

 

[Coupé It]

tupac003 is it Championship or bust in Los Angeles?

 

[WASHED KING]

Knicks got the best PG in the league so they're right at the top of the No Excuses list.

Brunson is a number 1 option.

That has nothing to do with this conversation.

There have always been two teams that I’ve known throughout my lifetime that are champion or busts in America.

That’s the Yankees and Lakers.

We'd get WWIII if Draymond was added to the roster.

Raps could have had a bench of Phil Jackson with Popovich & Pat Riley as assistants and the Raps would’ve still gone down. Talent gap was too wide.

Defensively I loved Nurse but you’re right I was definitely critical of him offensively.

Felt like he spent too much of his time on defense, which led to that comically aggressive scheme he was running to try to force turnovers so his team didn’t have to play in the halfcourt.

Embiid has turned himself into a machine and will be drawing two guys, Maxey is a burgeoning 3-level scorer, I think he’ll have an easier time in Philly.

i don't get what this has to do with those feelings you're holding onto so tightly

He been rocking UA looks like he finally gonna make the switch it seems
