@notogotnext @PaulsGospel1534 How could you say they “have not impressed anyone”? This may be the goofiest thing anybody has ever posted on this site. They literally are having the best 11 game run that any team has ever had. Ever.

@PaulsGospel1534 Because they have not impressed anyone. We truly believe they will throw this away.

My full breakdown on the Cavs- Knicks. After hours of studying the Cavs and Knicks series on my balcony, I have finally made up my mind. I’m doubling down on the Cavs to win in 7. There hasn’t been a single moment throughout this series where I thought to myself “the Knicks are so much better than the Cavs.” The Cavs just aren’t hitting shots. That’s it. What I’ve seen from the Cavs makes me believe they will win 4 straight. It’s only a 3-0 lead. Brunson was walking around with his head down, not trusting his teammates. You could see it in his eyes as if he knows this series is slipping away from them. And it wasn’t just Brunson. The body language of the entire Knicks roster told the story. These guys are not built for big moments. Everyone thinks the Cavs quit but I actually think that was their plan all along. They got the Knicks exactly where they want them. And now all the pressure is on New York. This is a franchise with a reputation for choking and they know it. One more loss and they could become the first team in NBA history to blow a 3-0 lead. That weight doesn’t go away. Cavs win tonight and we have ourselves a Game 7 at the Garden. Don’t let us get one.

@SD2Mics Please tell me that is AI.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@Fullcourtpass @NBA_NewYork Is this AI? Please tell me it is AI.

Kenny Atkinson on the Cavaliers being down 0-3 against the Knicks “Analytically… we’ve won 2 out of 3” (Via @NBA_NewYork)

Brunson has scored more points (27.8/game) and had more assists (7.5) against West teams than he has against East teams over the last two seasons. His shooting efficiency has also better against the West. Interesting to hear that the West is so much better but it is somehow easier to shoot, score and assist against them…

@theblockspot the east is absolutely as weak as it’s ever been. there was maybe 3 top NBA players in the East this playoffs in JB, Cade, and Brunson. Knicks didn’t have to see either of the 2

Knicks being dominant has absolutely nothing to do with a weak Eastern Conference. Hawks… had 18-2 stretch late in season Sixers… eliminated a great Celtics team Cavs… eliminated a 60-win Pistons team Knicks are an elite basketball team.

The West’s only chance is to fall when shooting and hope the refs call fouls. Absent getting a key injury or being taken out by the refs, the Knicks will win in four. They are the hottest team ever right now. I am not saying they are the best team ever. But no team has ever been this much better than their competition over any 10 game stretch. Ever. And they are doing it against playoff teams.

@___justyn Knicks only chance is injuries. Those teams healthy the knicks dont win more than 1 game. Theres different levels in the sport and the WCF is the highest

Acting like whoever comes out the West is easily beating the Knicks is laughable after we just seen the Pacers take OKC to 7 last year. Ppl just suck off the west

@IchBinDeutsch_ @Falcons187Web @lastsayian @KnicksMuse The Spurs beat the Thunder by 2 in the Semi of the NBA Cup. Then, the Knicks beat the Spurs by 11 to take the championship. Sounds about right.

@Falcons187Web @lastsayian @KnicksMuse Same players, same team, same limitations. You think a few wins against East teams like Philly & Cleveland means they’re suddenly a different team now, don’t you? OKC went 8-0 against Philly, Cleveland, Atlanta & your knicks. The east is a bunch of cupcakes

It’s ridiculous how people are discussing this run. The Thunder and Spurs have played NOBODY.

@serenityposting @KnicksMuse Brunson scored more points (27.8/game) and had more assists (7.5) against WEST teams than he did against East teams over the last two seasons. His shooting efficiency was also better against the West. Time for you to write another goofy post. And don’t forget your “lmao”.

@wwalsh @KnicksMuse let’s check back in after brunson gets put in a torture chamber in the finals lmao. no more james harden to pick on!

@serenityposting @KnicksMuse It is the best 10 game streak of all time. Ever. The East has won 3 of the last 7 championships. This year will make it 4 of 8. I see that you have posted thousands of trollish messages. You should be better at it by now.

@wwalsh @KnicksMuse in the east lmao. that’s like saying they’re beating olympians without mentioning they’re from the Special Olympics

They are on the best 10 game run of all time. There have been 1.4 million 10-game stretches played in NBA/ABA history. They are doing it against playoff teams. You say they “won’t be competitive” against the West. Why? I guess because these West teams are better than other West teams. Hahahaha. By the way, how do people watch West basketball? The guy with the mop is on the court every other play. The flopping is disgusting.

This New York Knicks run to the Finals is easily one of the cheapest in NBA history. To get there against the 6, 7 and 4 seeds as the No. 3 seed, twice facing a lower seed because of an upset the previous round, is extremely fortunate. They won’t be competitive against the West.

Over the last 10 games, the Knicks have the highest point differential in NBA/ABA history (regular season or playoff). There have been 1.4 million 10-game stretches played. The Knicks literally are the hottest team ever. Sure, you can look at their roster and say they aren’t better than Jordan’s best teams. Or Magic and the Lakers. Or Bird’s Celtics. Etc. But the numbers are the numbers. This Knick team is on fire. And they are doing it against playoff teams.

@AshNicoleMoss Slow down now..the Knicks ain’t better than OKC or San Antonio

back in November … i said the Knicks were going to the NBA Finals. everyone called me crazy. one game away from that reality, you will not convince me that this team can’t beat either in the west to win the whole thing

No team in the history of the NBA has posted a better point differential over a ten-game stretch in the playoffs or regular season than the 2026 Knicks. There have been ~1.4 million “ten-game stretches” played in the NBA/ABA history. @nyknicks @NBA

@BGNHoops No team in the history of the NBA has posted a better point differential over a ten-game stretch in the playoffs or regular season than the Knicks. They did that against playoff teams. It is infantile to say they “don’t stand a chance”.

I hope Knicks fans know whichever team makes it to the finals between the Spurs and OKC is winning the championship lol. They don’t stand a chance against either team.

@NyLaw72 @BGNHoops Reminds me of the Pac 12 in football. All talk, all season… until they played a team from an actual tough conference. Oh the shock when they would lose. lol.

@BGNHoops What's so good about the spurs or the western conference

@Insidetheirish @On3 The guy that rates quarterbacks for On3 has no idea what he is doing. He gave Carr a very bad rating coming out of high school. All other agencies rated Carr highly. On3 has been doubling down ever since. And Carr is the Heisman favorite...

QB CJ Carr comes in at #85 in @On3’s Top 100 Players in College Football for 2026. 🤔☘️ #GoIrish Interesting, to say the least. Carr is expected to have a great season for Notre Dame.

Translation - ESPN doesn’t want to expand to 24 games because they likely won’t have the tv rights to the extra games. The SEC is a media asset of ESPN. The SEC will resist expansion on ESPN’s behalf. It doesn’t matter what the individual schools think. This isn’t about what is good for the athletes, teams, schools, the sport or the fans. This is about money and power.

Nope Could the SEC eventually be on board with a 24 team playoff? Perhaps. But the idea that 100% of their AD’s are pushing for expansion right now is flat out wrong Unlike the Big 10, the SEC values the sanctity of the regular season and it’s place in expansion decisions

@onedayitsyou @doug_clawson You do understand that they are talking about any 9 game stretch that any team has played...ever. The Knicks have been playing playoff teams. They might not be great teams, but they aren't bad teams. They are playoff teams.

@doug_clawson Easiest bracket of all time. Every team they faced been trash

The Knicks have outscored teams by 212 points during their 9-game win streak, the best pts diff in any 9-game span *regular season or playoffs* by any team in NBA HISTORY! Previous "record" was +209 by 1973-74 Bucks in the regular season w/ Kareem & Oscar

@PDean2017 @tbhorka True for Miami. ND is the only team on their schedule that is in the early rankings. ND has three of them.

@tbhorka It’s their only competitive game of the year. It is obviously big because if they lose they likely don’t make the playoffs

ESPN has Miami at Notre Dame ranked the No. 4 must-watch game of the 2026 college football season. The top 5: 1 LSU at Ole Miss 2 Ohio State at Texas 3 Ohio State at Indiana 4 Miami at Notre Dame 5 Georgia at Alabama Where does UM at ND rank for you? on3.com/teams/notre-da…

Everyone understands that ND picks 1/2 of their games. There is no debate about that. Most teams have traditionally “picked” 1/3 of their games. I don’t know what your point is. Others have said that this means that ND will have a weak schedule. Of course, it isn’t in their interest to have a weak schedule. Their challenge in recent years is that the ACC has fallen off. And while Miami has improved via NIL, the portal and coaching, the opposite has happened with Clemson. Also, USC’s recent decline has hurt. So, the games they can’t “pick” have hurt their schedule. Sure, Wisconsin’s decline hurts. But that hasn’t happened a lot. A&M improved after ND scheduled their games. Georgia, Michigan, Alabama, etc were all pretty much as expected. 2027 looks like an easy year. 2028 is looks difficult (3 likely elite teams and 2-3 others likely ranked). By the way, when it comes to schedule strength, college football does have a big problem…and it isn’t Notre Dame. Super Conferences are the problem. Too many schools in the conferences has resulted in incredibly imbalanced schedules. Some are too easy and some are too hard. And the desire to avoid a hard schedule combined with the ever-expanding large playoff size, is leading teams to weaken their non-conference schedules. Look at USC finding a way out of the Notre Dame rivalry. That is a shame. There will be more of that. The are whispers that Texas may back out of their upcoming games with ND. Same goes for Alabama. ND is scheduled to play both of them in 2029. But they may back out if they think the playoff field will be 24 teams and they just need to avoid hard non-conference games. Indiana has been a great team for the last 2 years but they played easy conference schedules. Miami’s schedule next year is very soft. There is way too much of that. And the conferences are the problem.

@DelusionalDomer @wwalsh Other teams dont pick half their schedule, only ND does that.

Bragging about having the 42nd SOS is hilarious when you are the only team that gets to hand pick half their games every year.

Many teams opted out of bowls last season. At least the ND players had a reason. The players voted to not play the bowl game. Remember, ESPN would have made a bundle of money off of them. They didn't want that to happen since ESPN controlled what happened to ND through their SEC proxies in the Committee. Elevating Alabama over ND right after Bama barely survived a terrible Auburn team was when everyone knew the fix was in. Freeman is right to say what he is saying. But the players had their shot taken away from them by corrupt bureaucrats in a room behind closed doors. ND was the #2 betting favorite to win the championship on the day the committee pushed them out. Adjust for the fact that they weren't getting a first round bye and the bettors thought ND was the best team. The players believed they got screwed by a company (ESPN/Disney) that wanted their property (Bama/SEC) to be in the playoff at all costs. To pull it off, they secured votes from ACC members...promising them that the ACC would not be left out if they put Bama in. That is how Miami managed to rise right through the rankings after dropping two fairly late games to bad teams. Miami was elevated over FOUR good teams in a row that DID NOT LOSE when Miami was elevated over them. First, Georgia Tech. Then, Vanderbilt. Then, Utah. Then, Notre Dame. All while Miami was playing bad teams. The whole thing was fixed but it wasn't about Miami. It was always about Bama...a mediocre team that played its worst football over the last 1/3 of the season...the only 3-loss team to ever be put in a playoff. The SEC (Bama) and ACC (Miami) are both media assets of ESPN. Both conferences are on the slide. The SEC is no longer dominant in the age of NIL and the portal. The B1G is the big boy now. This is extremely bad for ESPN. They just couldn't have Alabama miss the playoff again. It was existential. Meanwhile, the ACC is potentially going to die and teams are suing to be allowed to leave the conference. This whole plan - put Bama ahead of ND, elevate Miami through the ranks, make the whole media discussion about Miami, etc. was clearly an operation. Everyone even remotely close to the sport saw what was happening and who was behind it. The ND players saw it too.
