How can any serious person say something like this:

In short, Harden said the Knicks dominated them series wise, but the Cavs are the better team….
Everybody is better than the Knicks until it’s time to be BEATEN by the Knicks
I googled James Harden press conference to see it and found this:

Howard Eisley, Stephon Marbury, Nate Robinson, Chris Duhon, Sergio Rodriguez, Toney Douglas, Raymond Felton, Chauncey Billups, Iman Shumpert, Jeremy Lin, Baron Davis, Pablo Prigioni, Langston Galloway, Jose Calderon, Shane Larkin, Jerian Grant, Derrick Rose, Brandon Jennings, Emmanuel Mudiay, Jarrett Jack, Frank Ntilikina,Trey Burke, Ramon Sessions, Dennis Smith Jr, Kadeem Allen, Elfrid Payton, Immanuel Quickley, Kemba Walker, and Miles McBride.
That’s every player that started at PG since trading Charlie Ward in 2004. Just incredible how far we’ve come.
Guys, I think the Knicks should be the favorite to win the final.
I agree with Marechal and I think the money will, too. Knicks have been bet down to +210.
Thankfully I already have the Knicks +2200 (bet after game 5 v Atlanta) & Towns MVP at +4000 🙂
Maybe not favorite, but yeah, they look like they have the countermeasures for almost everything.
I found an insanely dope picture this morning. Wish I could post it here instead of making it an avatar. It’s a split pic. On the left it says “1999” with a Pic of Camby holding a very young Brunson, and on the right it says “2026” with a pic of Brunson in his Finals tee holding the Larry Bird trophy while talking to Ewing.
That’s fuckin incredible
The similarities between Cleveland and Philadelphia were jarring.
Both teams were coming off huge game 7 wins on the road. Both teams entered the series feeling like their season was already a success based on how far they’d come. And both teams were beaten so bad we made them forget all the good vibes from a week ago.
And now Atkinson might follow Morey out the door.
I’ll start by saying that this isn’t a defense of Harden/Atkinson, but instead a celebration of the fact that human beings, and not random number generators, play these games.
If you put together a bell curve of expected performances, as the fanatic “analysis” types are wont to do, the Knicks are performing on the outer tail of the curve. Not remotely at black swan levels, but on the x-axis well to the right of the fattest part of the curve, where the y-axis is at its peak.
While I personally do not fucking care, and find it a testament to humans and the human condition as well as the very reasons they play the games rather than chart them, there are some who live by these bell curves and get discombobulated and literally cannot fathom tail results that do not comport with the “laws” of statistical inference. And so they attribute them to all manner of false things — “luck” for one (*).
Or in James Harden and Kenny Atkinson’s case, “Yeah we lost, but they aren’t really better than us.”
They are, of course — but no one should give a shit.
(*) In ancient times, this is of course how religion got rolling. “We can’t figure out why these tornados are hitting our wheat fields, there hasn’t been one like this in 25 years — it must therefore be God.”
Our podcast publishes on Monday mornings, but we recorded several days before. This week, we are recording on Wednesday for next week‘s episode. This morning, I thought I would have some fun by opening the episode rambling about the Knicks for my cohost, who is not a sports fan. And then I worried that the episode would be published after a finals game had been played, and anything I said might sound stupid depending on how game one went. And then I remembered that the Knicks are off until June goddamn 3rd. They can rest. More importantly, the coaches and the players will have so much time to figure out ideas to beat both of the teams out west. It’s not gonna be remotely as easy as these last series have been. But the mindset that everybody seems to have makes me feel like we can really actually do this.
Also, speaking of podcasts, Macri was in especially fine form in his post game. He spent 10 minutes, just running through all of the misery that we have suffered through in the last 20 years. Including stuff I had long forgotten.
And every single one of you should watch this clip: https://x.com/KnicksMSGN/status/2059115973035151503
Here’s the Camby pic Poindexter was referring to:

As someone who started his first corporate job in 1999 I’m afraid to say I know that suit style all too well… wide lapels, pleated trousers, dark shirt with a bold patterned tie… that’s Men’s Wearhouse, baby!
Listen to the Cavs talking about how the past two series of seven games is what they take away from being swept is a bit rich.
They played teams with injuries and key players not 100%.
In this game four, they committed 22 turnovers. They were sloppy v Detroit too.
The Cavs weren’t ready for prime time.
Taylor Swift came to one of their playoff games, tho, so they got that going for them. And analytics, of course. (Did Kenny mention if they went up 3-1 last night or did we even the series?)
