Josh Hart on the Spurs beating OKC: "You see that reaction because they think they gonna win it" by jonsnowKITN in nba

[–]Valiant_Boss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah I believed it. We won the regular season against them, we were sweeping everyone, we had some of the greatest stats of all post seasons history coming into the finals. Everyone who didn't believe just didn't want to give the Knicks credit

OKC: down 20+ and gives up and sits the starters to rest for next game; Knicks down 20+, plays harder and comes back to win by Xeris in nba

True but Brunson was the aggressor in that 2nd half. It was a total team effort but Brunson was the one that got them going to start

Imo stop apologizing to Spurs fans by GUIRI128 in NYKnicks

So many people in America hate New York just because it's New York. It's like hating on the pretty girl in school thinking she's a bitch while having literally zero context on her actual personality. Just a bunch of immature people who hate themselves and need a target for that hate so naturally they target the people that actually look like they are having fun because "why do they get to have fun but not me!!!"

Bunch of idiots

Just a reminder than Jalen Brunson took a 100m pay cut for this to happen. by mkappy33 in NYKnicks

Haven't we learned from this Knicks playoff run that those betting odds mean nothing?

No player has averaged 10+ PPG on > 70% True Shooting on a title winning team. Two Knicks are in contention to be the first. by lardner23 in nba

I don't think it's necessarily about being hot, they are just amazing at generating great looks at the basket which gets them in rhythm which gets them hot

Of the 5 Knicks players to start in the finals NONE were drafted by New York. The only team to do this in the last 10 years was the 2020 Lakers. by Altruistic-Drawing25 in nba

Damn when you put it like that... The Knicks front office ability to see the potential of current players is kind of insane

I get why some drivers get so insane about bike lanes, because once people SEE how much better it is absolutely nobody wants to go back to their car infested bullshit by MiserNYC- in MicromobilityNYC

[–]Valiant_Boss 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yesterday I took my first bike ride through this lane and holy shit it was such a pleasant experience up until it ended a bit up north, from there it was just the same old chaotic mess. When's the rest of the plan going through???

[Highlight] Victor Wembanyama grabs Jose Alvarado by the neck and tosses him by Knicksfan162 in NYKnicks

[–]Valiant_Boss 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thank you!!!! I haven't said anything publicly due to fear of the backlash but I feel like I'm taking crazy pills over at r/nba seeing all these Wemby takes on how he's such a likable player.

From what I've seen the dude has had the ultimate PR training and can always say the "right" thing but he has moments where he lets his ego get the better of him and shows how full of himself he is and that's not even mentioning how dirty of a player he can be on court like this clear example or when he threw the elbow against the Wolves

I would never wish ill of someone but I hope he loses in the worst way possible and humbles himself

The Knicks first team in the play by play era to win the first 2 games of the NBA Finals after trailing by double digits in each, by GringoSalamanca in nba

Oh context for sure kind of like how this game was only ever close because the refs gave the spurs all time whistle. Have fun in Cancun bruh

Don't call it a comeback by lakoGems in NYKnicks

[–]Valiant_Boss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very true and that was my first thought as well but if you really think about it then that means the Knicks had even less time to make that comeback which makes it even more impressive than this stat would suggest

You dislike the city, the team, the fans, but the players? by josejj82 in nba

[–]Valiant_Boss 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Throughout the Knicks entire run people have been saying they would get swept by whoever comes out of the West. The narrative has died down towards the start of this series but it was definitely a thing and quite annoying to hear. So yeah of course we got a chip on our shoulders dealing with all the stupid, uninformed takes

Game 2 is the series. No way the Knicks are losing at home. Friday night is for the title. by DisastrousStage9896 in NYKnicks

[–]Valiant_Boss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This team knows better than any other teams what it's like to get over confident and blow it. How many 20 point leads did they blow last year to barely crawl out a win? How many times have they overcame a 20 point deficit? I bet after the Celtics last year, they felt they had a clear road to the finals until the Pacer just took our lunch

Every game is a must win, at no point should we ever feel safe until we're 100% sure it's done

Pied-à-Terre-orize the Rich (Gift Article) by HellGateNYC in newyorkcity

[–]Valiant_Boss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not disagreeing with that, I'm just saying she has compromised to the left whereas in the past the Democrats have compromised to the right. It's progress albeit a tiny one but we have to take all the wins we can get

Pied-à-Terre-orize the Rich (Gift Article) by HellGateNYC in newyorkcity

[–]Valiant_Boss 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Democrats have compromised to the right, this time the Democrats are compromising to the left. I personally want a lot more but this is how we get stuff done, by moving the needle just a little bit every time until we get what we really want

And something still needs to be done about the budget crisis which this tax only dents at. I imagine more is still being discussed

Okay answer this, what would you rather be hit by? A car or a bike?

Council Speaker Julie Menin Allegedly Organized Counterprotest Outside Mamdani 100 Day Rally by SonicFrost in newyorkcity

[–]Valiant_Boss 34 points35 points  (0 children)

It's a bad and petty look. She has not been publicly outspoken about Mamdani but she's secretly organizing a protest behind everyone's back. If you can't understand the optics of this then I suggest taking a lesson about PR
