    As a Knicks fanโ€ฆ I want Giannis. Dolan didnโ€™t pull the trigger over the summer because he felt we would be competitive without a blockbuster trade.

    We lose to the Hawks we get Giannis.

    With that being said I donโ€™t see us losing to the Hawks but if we do thereโ€™s some upside.

    If Knicks play well but lose it’s not a big failure, Hawks are legit.

    Steph & Kawhi not in question. It’s Garland, Podz & Draymond in that game that got something to prove

    My god Stephen A keeps babbling and repeating the same points just with different words for like 5 mins straight. Haven’t watched first take in a long time and it’s still the same.

    Clippers has always been a joke. Kawhi made a career mistake by not goin to the lakers to play w AD& LBJ bc he wanted to b the shot caller n got Paul George, James harden ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿป.

    I dont understand the Anticipation of The Knicks Losing. Its like people are just waiting for them to get eliminated

    Stephen A is delusional about the Knicks strength at this stage. Hawks are 20-6 since the all star break and are very dangerous right now. Knicks could very easily lose the first round if theyโ€™re not careful

    Basically a popularity contest with Stephen A. Smh
