So just over 50 people contributed to the Knicks’ poll I posted yesterday. Here are the results:
Obviously we’re all a bit biased towards the Knicks winning, and if I had to choose one to disagree with, it’s Brunson hitting the game winning shot. I feel like the 2026 playoff juggernaut Knicks is based more on a team effort. That no one player is the Knicks’ savior, and it requires all the players operating at high efficiency to win. Yes Brunson is our best pure scorer, but I think when it comes down to it, it’ll be someone else who hits the big shot (see: Horry, Robert). And I feel like that person will be OG.

So comments are closed in the regular daily thread. Is this going to be the new thread for today, or is there another one forthcoming? LOL
pt offered that Deuce’s ability to pull up quickly and get up high on 3’s can be a strength against the Spurs. On a recent KFS X’s and O’s pod with Benji and DJ, they pointed out that several OKC “shooters,” notably Chet and Dort, have slow wind-ups/low releases on their 3’s, making them more vulnerable to close-outs, and that Shai is not really a volume 3pt shooter. They also said that Leon & Co. have stockpiled the roster with shooters that get off 3’s quickly, with a high release point, or both.
We try to always comment on the newest post.
sticking with knicks in six…because I like the way it sounds…
thinking we get down big in the first quarter, fight our way back a bit in the second, catch them in the 3rd…
captain clutch and the get fresh crew to close ’em out in the 4th…
probably more a wish than actual thought…
caught up in the rapture…
Knicks in 6. OG mvp. It’s time. Brunson and the Argonauts. Gotta get through Typhon risen no less. Let’s fuck em up.

Another great one from Edwards, about the history between the last three Nova Knicks standing.
This has been such a crazy roller coaster season, that I picked Knicks in 7. A high anxiety series with the oft targeted with KB ridicule Mikal hitting the winning shot. As an aside, I have been taken aback by the amount of Knicks gear that I have seen this week.
