Everyone mad that the Knicks are finally good

They won't make it past the 2nd round like always

It’s good for basketball if the Knicks are good. Just need my Bulls to get it together

@@jeremywilson3684lifelong Knicks fan and I agree. This is not a Finals championship team. Same formula as always too many guards/wings, not enough shooters or bigs.

[@FILMICGAMING]

@@willellis502not enough shooters? What team are you talking about, Brunson, Divencenzo, Bridges, OG, all elite shooters, with Randle down low to command double teams and then kick out for open shots for those guys? On top of elite defense? Come on man, be objective and lower the hate just a little bit.

[@Quazey8]

The Knicks dont need a star in NYC. All the NY teams that win dont have one. They become stars if they win.

[@Juan_rivera]

Brunson is a star, top ten player wtf are you taking about lol

[@dottabun187]

People need to let that old narrative go “the same ol Knicks” we really here to play big time basketball F them picks F Paul George we wouldn’t have the roster we have now if we tried to get him George wants 50 million a year so no OG Naa I’m proud of the Knicks we wayyyy better now

[@anthonypena2990]

This Knicks team is gna BE SOOOOO TOUGH DEFENSIVELY, and thts gna lead to alot of fast break offense and some easy buckets offensively, and in the East they can play this exact small ball lineup with Randle as ur big man, because the East doesnt have a REAL SUPERSTAR big man EXCEPT EMBIID from my Sixers but hes not always in the post and he likes to shoot the ball as well, BUT IF THEY DO WANNA WIN THE EAST AND COMPETE FOR A CHAMPIONSHIP WITH ANY OF THE TOP WESTERN CONFERENCE TEAMS, the Knicks are DEFINITELY GNA HAVE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT BRINGING IN SOME SIZE AND A BIG MAN DEFENSIVELY.... They need some size to compete for a TITLE. But as far as being high energy and str8 HUSTLE players all over the court who play with high energy and are all over the court defensively and all their players regardless of size crash the boards really well... THE CHEMISTRY WITH THIS TEAM IS INSANE, AND NOW ADDING ANOTHER VILLANOVA STAR in Mikal Bridges, mannnn they got the NOVA BOYS IN FULL EFFECT!!!! And doing so allows them to play OG Anunoby off the bench with Achiuwa and the draft pick they just picked up was a nice pickup for them overall as a fit, BUT WHAT THE KNICKS NEED NOW IS SHOOTERS!!! THEY HAVE ALL THE HUSTLE AND ALL THE UNSELFISH SCORERS, AND HAVE THE STRENGTH AND TENACITY AND CHEMISTRY AND WITH THIBODEAU AT HEAD COACH MANNNN HE THE BEST COACHING FIT FOR THIS TEAM AND WITH WHO THESE PLAYERS ARE. But they do need SHOOTERS OFF THE BENCH!!! They can still make a couple moves to fill out their roster, they definitely need to go out and add and bring in some REAL SHOOTERS, and if they csn do thst, this Knicks team can definitely contend for a East

[@dwrev462]

Going to be hard for the Celtics to repeat.. actually it'll be hard for anything to repeat in this NBA 🤔

I'm surprised that Trae Young from Atlanta didn't get traded

Cant please some ppl. Bad if they make moves for old players and bad if they move on a young player 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@tianayates6564]

I’m not gonna lie…. That Mikal bridges pick up might have just made them contenders… they still need an off the bench 4/5…. Just because of the injuries the bigs be having on their team… and I’m sorry precious is to undersized for them…. I tried this playoffs to get him some shine but he’s just to undersized 🤷🏿‍♂️

[@DPizzle]

Still cant get past Boston

[@trappingoutdalobby3227]

It was either pay or lose him to other teams in our conference also we gave up two players for him that we would of have to pay anyway also you need 3-D guys to guard Tatum and brown

The knicks to me still short of a title just something still feel like it missing there and also they coach don’t win chips although very good seasonal coach and mid playoff coach but a champion coach? Nahh

Knicks would beat Celtics in 7 game Series. They are STACKED defensive & offensive & Tatum struggles in big moments especially against defense players. Knicks are are legit lock on paper to win the title. Brunson, Randle, Mikal, OG? Robinson? Hart & Donte off the bench with Harstein? That's the BEST bench in the league along with starting 5.

The knicks are the only team that can beat boston. The knicks could've beat boston last year but health made them a shell of themselves before they got there. This doesn't take away from boston. I called them the best team in the nba at the beginning of last season. And they got a ring so they've earned my respect. But my eyes work well. Ny is on they ass .. IF they stay healthy

[@tickdracy2275]

Giving up a bunch of late first round picks is worth it, if they where a bottom 3 team then yes for sure it wouldn't be worth it.
