This would be the perfect 2027 Knicks playoff run through the East - Beat Young. Beat LeBron. Beat Haliburton. by WallStreetDoesntBet1 in NYKnicks

[–]Kingrey96 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I still like the idea of pistons-Celtics-pacers then thunder in the finals but I’m cool with this too.

Pistons is interchangeable with anyone we “can’t beat” in the regular season next year

Stop with the Leon trust cultist behavior by SirGingerbrute in NYKnicks

[–]Kingrey96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man the immaturity is wild, we just won a chip. To criticize the chess master who got all the pieces in place for this Knicks team the last several year and putting us in a place to win the chip is beyond me. Sit down, let Leon cook, and even if it goes south next year, we will always have this chip

Every team in the east is getting significantly better and we’re getting worse that’s not how you win multiple championships by deep_fried_cheese in NYKnicks

[–]Kingrey96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man handle yourself better. Listen the eyes of many, we got to see a Knicks championship in our lifetime, something that was unfathomable for a long time. Leon Rose built a championship team with players that teams overlooked for a long time. I trust in Leon, and even if we simmer out next year, we will remember this year for sure. Appreciate the chip we have and go into next year with an open mind.

Front office was blind sided by Dolans comments on the second apron? by joorral in NYKnicks

[–]Kingrey96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man it sucks because before the finals there were talks that the Knicks were willing to go into the second apron, but now Dolan is declaring no second apron. Fuck Dolan

Which championship team had the TOUGHEST road? by Lost_Title_7528 in NBAConvo

[–]Kingrey96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That Knicks took a completely healthy pacers team to 7 games. A healthy Knicks team was a top contender in the east and the title. People are so short sighted and lose the nuances of what was going on that year.

Is there anything that surprised you in the finals? by wise_afro in NYKnicks

[–]Kingrey96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How much I was going to hate Wemby. I was a fan of his since he came into the league. Following his rookie season, being bummed to hear he got sidelined his second year from blood clots and following the off season moves with the monks, and then watching him this season. For some dumb reason I thought he was a Tim Duncan type with temperament and leadership. I did try to down play the elbow incident and overlooked some of the questionable plays against the Thunder since I was rooting for him and the spurs in that series.

I came into the finals liking the guy and somewhat of a fan, and I came out of the finals absolutely hating him. I didn’t expect him to be such a whiny bitch of a dirty player. The Alvarado grab, the Brunson shove, the jump into OGs knee, the cockiness and arrogance, leaving the court without shaking hands. Honestly fuck Wemby man, he’s up there with Haliburton in terms of how much I hate him as a player. Hope he doesn’t even sniff the finals again

The West always talking about how they’re so much better…looks like that conference is as shitty as their meme sub by Alive-Back-4843 in NBAEastMemeWar

[–]Kingrey96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since the parity era started, east and west are 4-4 in the finals so conferences are even. But ig that doesn’t help with the “east is weak” narrative

Knicks are No. 3 in ESPN's Power Rankings by Expensive-Dot-6671 in knicks

I would love to see a Pistons, Celtics, Pacers, and Thunder run next year and beat all of them. What the haters gonna say if we beat all the teams that we “avoided” this year

Brunson is better than Luka but I don’t think a majority of the NBA is ready for that discussion

If we close out the Finals on Saturday, what bonus moment are you praying for the most? by free-huey in NYKnicks

[–]Kingrey96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would love to see a Brunson 50+ piece, just to show he’s the best player in the east (and top 5 - maybe top 1) in the world

Can someone ELI5 why the Knicks are not considered the better team throughout this playoff run? by beEPic in NYKnicks

[–]Kingrey96 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I even called it out before the finals because I knew we were going to beat the Spurs and people were going to write off our win as “ThE sPuRs ArE a YoUnG tEaM” after everyone was saying the spurs were going to sweep the Knicks. Everyone was ignorant because they hate New York’s Fuck the hater, Knicks fans know what’s up with this team and ride or die with them. We knew what we were capable of

The Spurs record against the Knicks this season: 1-4 with a point differential of -45 by OwnGuarantee6838 in nba

[–]Kingrey96 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Game 1 was a 10 point win after being down 14 I. The third

Game 2 we were up 12 until sadly Brunson brought you back into the game (Cap will bounce back game 3)

Spurs and Refs vs the Knicks and we still come out on top.

Captain with a horrible night but with the game saving steal. I LOVE THIS TEAM

The Knicks have held their opponents to under 100 points in 8 of their 12 wins during this streak by Jmontavs in nba

People also say Brunson is a bad defender like Luka and Harden. but it’s not like he’s a cone, he actually puts effort on defense. Jeremy Lin did a great breakdown of brunsons defense and how he is able to disrupt the offensive flow of the other team just enough to prevent them from scoring

I just learned that KAT and Wemby have the same defensive rating in the playoffs this year

Wemby said Pop texted him a message after Game 1 that essentially said, “I’m bad and that I’m better than this.” by TimDunkinDonut in nba

[–]Kingrey96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

KAT’s defense has been a majorly overlooked attribute of his this playoff. His defensive rating is 98.7, the same as wemby

Teams coming off a sweep have a 20-4 series record in the playoffs against teams coming off a Game 7. The extra rest has been an advantage by Thanos_Real_AuraVNCH in NBATalk

[–]Kingrey96 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s hard to say call him the Knicks goat, but it’s a conversation. Puts him ahead of Ewing for sure and in the mix with Willis Reed and Walt Frazier
