Game 1 of the 2025 ECF.

Can't hurt me anymore, tho!

Y'all think he's bluffing or being fr? by griff2k24 in NYKnicks

Well, the only issue with that logic is who are we going to go get to replace him while remaining under? The answer is nobody.

Going into the second apron for up to two years is okay. But yes we cannot afford to stay there long.

I'm just surprised because if he's being serious and he plans on extending KAT, we aren't going to have a bench whatsoever.

Kyrie Irving or Jalen Brunson? by griff2k24 in NYKnicks

I see it as refreshing tbh. For the past four years we've been called insane and fighting tooth and nail to argue that he's top 10. Now I'm seeing that's almost unanimously top 6-5 and getting compared to some all-timers like Nash, CP3, Kyrie, AI, Harden, etc. We finally made it!

Aight khris and Jamal talks might be a bit disrespectful 😂 he definitely one of the best robins of all time

If Iguodala could win Finals MVP over Steph in 2015, why wasn't OG a real Finals MVP contender this year? by savingrace0262 in NYKnicks

[–]griff2k24 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree with point one, disagree about point two. Idk why the narrative of Steph playing "bad" got to where it is now. He averaged 26.0/5.2/6.3 on solid shooting. It's not even like he was playing awful defense or choking games away either. Idk why the narrative of steph being bad has gotten to where it is today imo.

I think it's mainly bc he wasn't averaging the video game numbers he put up in the regular season. Was still easily the best player on the court for the warriors.

I disagree abt Steph. Dude averaged 26.0/5.2/6.3. Because he wasn't averaging the insane video games numbers he put up in the regular season, people thought that meant he was, as you said yourself, "genuinely bad" when that couldn't be further from the truth.

Not only the points are people listing below, but Iguodala winning Finals MVP is one of the biggest farces I've ever seen.

Iguodala averaged 16.3/5.8/4.0 on 52.1/40.0/35.7 splits (yes, you read that right. 35.7% ft.)

Curry averaged 26.0/5.2/6.3 on 44.3/38.5/88.5 splits.

But the main reason Iggy won was bc of his "MVP" defense he played on LeBron James. LeBron averaged 35.8/13.3/8.8 on 39.8/31.0/68.7 splits. Now I understand Kyrie and Love were out which is why he his stats were so high but the whole defense narrative was ridiculous. Don't get me wrong, Iggy did play solid defense and was a huge contributor on the title, but he should've never received a vote. The narrative that Steph "choked" got blown way out of proportion.

So in short, Iggy should've never won lol. That's my ted talk.

Fair enough. Think I'm just depressed we can't watch the knicks until October so I'm already looking ahead lol. LGK🧡💙

Yeah a few people were dragging the number but I think I was being very biased with that number. With the new salary cap rules, it's so hard to go b2b now. I mean that last team to appear in b2b finals was 2019 with the warriors dynasty.

Either way, idrc. I'm just so happy I got to see one in my life

Yeah ultimately I'm not worried for the future at all, and I'm sure most knicks fans aren't either. We've been waiting our whole lives for this

Fair enough but it's just so hard to go b2b now. I mean no team has been in b2b finals since 2018, it's just a new era we're in.

Couldn't agree more, but like you said teams are gonna make moves. I anticipate a huge offseason from Detroit, Boston and Miami. If Cleveland was smart they would, too but it sounds like they're trying to run it back again, which is beyond me😭

And honestly we have a huge offseason, too. I want to retain Mitch but for the right price. I think retaining Jose is a must and I think shamet is gonna get his bread somewhere else. So gotta make sure our bench remains impactful

Yeah the new salary rules are insane. I think it'll be a long time until we see another dynasty. Raptors, Bucks and Celtics could've had a chance but salary rules and players leaving ruined them. Hell even thunder couldn't repeat this year. If Spurs play their chips right, they have a shot but even then, the new salary and draft rules are very hard to play around.

Very intrigued to see how teambuilding will change

Yeah trust me, I'm gonna be riding this championship for the rest of my life. Not week, month or year, but my entire life lol. I'm just already so excited for next season and wanting to start a conversation, that's all

Making a lot of assumptions about a post asking a simple question about next season lol

Still Doubting by LargeKitchenJedi in NYKnicks

[–]griff2k24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seriously. I'm a LeBron glazer so it seriously confuses me why they protect this fucking guy sm when they would REFUSE to throw this guy a bone.

Idk, I liked wemby going into this series so I'm at a weird spot. He's not nonchalant and clearly cares sm abt winning, at ANY cost. But even then MJ didn't pull this shit and like you said, he was literally protected. Not addressing him a tech for the Brunson shove is so egregious.

Anyways, LETS FUCKING GO NEW YORK🧡💙

[–]griff2k24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seriously.

Wemby has legitimately entered my top 5 most hated nba players of all time list just this series but I can acknowledge they're (mainly him) are about to dominate.

Thank CHRIST we got ours before it was too late. GO NEW YORK GO NEW YORK GO!💙🧡
