We were all confident in the Knicks defeating the Cavaliers, but they just DESTROYED them. Just like they DESTROYED the Sixers, and (after three weird games) DESTROYED the Hawks.
This is by far the most dominant that the Knicks have been in the playoffs…I mean, EVER? Maybe the 1953 Knicks? The 1970 and 1973 teams were amazing, but they didn’t dominate their conference like this. And obviously the 1994 and 1999 Knicks did not dominate their conference.
This is just amazing.
KAT has fulfilled the level of talent that we thought he would have back when he went #1. This team looks like an unbeatable juggernaut right now. The Western Conference winner will be a challenge, but I truly think that this team can take any team right now.
Congratulations, Knicks!

Congrats to all KBers who kept the faith all these years! And hats off to Mike K for creating this amazing forum and keeping it up and running!
I have been scarred so much, and so often, by this team, that I refused to let myself believe, even as they were boat-racing the Hawks and Sixers. Who knows what’s going to happen when they play the Spurs or Thunder, but guys? I have let myself believe. This is an INCREDIBLE team.
3rd NBA Finals that i’m here for… third time’s the charm ? 🧡💙

I hate that I doubted them after game 3 against Atlanta. Thank god these guys have a laser focus and belief in themselves that came out like gang-busters.
Unbelieveable moment to be a Knicks fan now.
There were at least fifteen HOLY SHIT plays in this game. At least that many jaw-dropping, awesome plays
I found this blog the day Isiah Thomas was finally officially fired, how far we’ve come!
This is the franchise that brought you #BlameBeno
Best comment from the game thread:
I’m not crying you’re crying
:’)
I thought Bridges catch and layup going full speed on that pass from Hart in the first quarter was quietly spectacular.
The OG alley-oop dunk…doesn’t he always mess those up hahahaha
When he jammed it home, I knew it was our night and maybe our destiny to win the chip
The ball movement in this game made me cry several times. It’s not just that we’re destroying teams. It’s that we’re doing it with some of the most aesthetically beautiful basketball I have ever seen.
The KAT block and 3 sequence, the OG alley oop and the KAT put back dunk were the holy shit plays for me.
My fave Bridges play was the fadaway grenade in Harden’s face.
OG’s follow slam was sick.
Great to see a bounce back Mitch game. Every single guy on the team playing confident and at top of their game. OKC or Spurs will be tough but we have a super well balanced team and strong defense. Need to stay sharp over the long break!
KAT’s first block was a thing of beauty. He reminded me of prime Rasheed Wallace with his nonchalance on that play.
KAT has always had max player/MVP candidate talent. The way he’s playing right now is all about his brain catching up to his game.
Atkinson and Harden in their post-game press conferences embarrassed themselves with excuses, have no respect whatsoever for that soft ass team.
There was one play where Jalen threw a pass to an empty corner, and Mikal just slid in there, caught the pass, and drained the three. The way Jalen led him with that pass was extremely satisfying
James Harden is a dreadful basketball player. If you watch some of the Knicks fast breaks, he was a total spectator in a fucking close-out game.
The fact that they traded a very good young player who they could have really got something good for to acquire that head case is the death knell of the Spida era.
Jarrett Allen also played like a quitter in this game. Repeatedly got caught jogging down the floor on fast breaks and did nothing to protect the rim. That guy is fugazy
The other thing is, alleged Brunson Stopper Dean Wade was exposed as a total fraud. Dude scored 3 total points in the last 3 games and did nothing to slow Brunson down. He fucking sucks.
Big fan of the OG sky put-back dunk a little after his alley oop play. Not sure I’ve ever seen that from him.
Deuce had a really nice game — 4-6 shooting, including 3-5 from three, for 11 points in less than 17 minutes, with 3 steals.
James Dolan can still suck my drunk Irish dick
Passing and cutting and passing, oh my!
Get everyone rested, rinse, and repeat.
It’s a beautiful day.
I’m watching Steve Novak on the postgame and it reminds me of the vibes during the 2012-13 season. That was fun, but his team is like 1000X more enjoyable and fulfilling to root for, not just because of the winning, but because it feels way more organic. I love all of these guys!
“James Dolan can still suck my drunk Irish dick”
Now the night is complete! What are you drinking?
Actually the play I was referring to was the other way around, it was Mikal who threw the beautiful leading pass to Brunson
Fuck was it, I forget
LNICKS BABY
