The Knicks head to Cleveland to officially put this series on lockdown. The Knicks will win this series even if they lose tonight, but, well, I mean, come on, you obviously want to win this one so that it would probably become a sweep. Let’s go, Knicks! Only six more wins to go!

The Cavs just epically blew a chance to take a 1-0 lead as a major underdog on the road in the Eastern Conference. It’s the sort of loss that almost always leads to a collapse by the team that chokes. For instance, after Game 1 of the Spurs/Thunder, no one was, like, “Oh, the Thunder […]
During the 76ers series, I named one of the game threads, “It’s all happening!” as we were seeing, in real time, the Knicks suddenly taking the amazing play they had in the final three games of the Hawks series, and apply it to another team, and just smother the life out of the Sixers. Well, […]
The Knicks are in Philadelphia this afternoon ready to put the Sixers to pasture for the season. I think that the Knicks would have defeated the Boston Celtics if the two teams had played each other in this round, but holy shit, there’s no way that the Celtics would have been THIS easy to beat. […]
If the Knicks take this one, this whole series is basically just academic. So, well, let’s see them do that! Deuce starts in place of OG (who thankfully is taking the game off instead of risking an injury to his hamstring), and Embiid return. Let’s go, Knicks!
The player who always gets hurt during the playoffs and makes sure that the Sixers never have a chance of winning a title is, shockingly, hurt. The Knicks were overwhelming favorites in this game with a hobbled Embiid. With NO Embiid? Holy fucking shit! Just eleven more wins to go, people!!! Let’s fucking go, Knicks!
The Knicks unexpectedly got home court in the second round this year, and now get to host the #7 seeded Philadelphia 76ers. The Sixers have an excellent top five, but no bench, and Embiid can barely walk, so the Knicks reeeeeeally should kick this team’s ass in five games or less. Here’s a poll! Let’s […]
The Hawks don’t have to go home, but after tonight, they can’t stay here, as it is closing time for the Atlanta Hawks. After two annoying losses, the series turned in Game 4, as these last two games have been the ideal of how I assumed this series would go. The Hawks have been feisty, […]
The Knicks played 82 games to assure themselves of home court in the first round, and now is the time when that home court will hopefully pay off. Win here, and be just a single win from the second round, against a Celtics team that is suddenly sputtering a bit (or, in the alternative, just […]
Okay, it’s time for the Knicks to even this series, and take home court advantage back. For all the pathetic nature of the Knicks’ last two losses, we’re talking two ONE POINT losses. The Hawks are barely getting past the Knicks. So it is time for the Knicks to remind them that they are so […]
