    I’m just glad we didn’t get swept. Celtics in six.

    Somebody must’ve told Molly to shut up and host, and it is very appreciated.

    Low key the Knicks are starting to feel like the 2019 Bucks. Raptors went down 0-2 and then went 4 strait

    If Boston’s been up 20 every game, why are the Knicks still considered in this series?

    Stephen, my name is also Stephen and last begins with A so I’ll keeo it that. You aggravate me at times and I am also quite opinionated but I respect you as an honest (if partisan) man. I am less sanguine but agree if the Knicks win chances are the Celtics are done. The wild card is who shows up to play? Firing on all cylinders only the Celtics can beat the Celtics. That means a 3-1 deficit doesn’t make it a sure thing. I seem to remember a series that not one but BOTH teams had 3-0 runs. I keep it simple and just say we’ll see. In the words of the late, great Jerry “the King” Lawler,
    “Keep your words soft and sweet in case you have to eat ’em.” Good advice to which I add good manners don’t cost anything but bad ones can cost more than we want to pay.

    JT and JB are going to stay the same the keep the pressure. Its basically let the other 2 shoot and stay on white and pritchard it should slow dowwn the celtics and bring the moral down for them. Stephen A is making bridges known as that sometimes he needs shut his mouth.

    Duke white star players are rarely superstar in the NBA they have decent careers but no all stars

    Cooper Flagg is going to the MAVS 🔥🔥🔥

    Ok Stephen A, stop using that narrative just bc Coop’s a white dude.

    Stephen A makes another pick every other segment😂

    SAS is obssessed with sam presti. What does he want him to do. He did what a GM should do. Get great pieces. And he did his part well. He is not playing. Winning championship is done inside the court.

    Knicks are not the one with their backs against the wall

  19. @KeithHampson

    May 12, 2025 at 10:24 pm

    I hope Brian Windhurst is paid a great deal to listen to the nonsense coming out Stephen A’s mouth. Consistently incoherent and contradictory.

    Word?

    May 12, 2025 at 10:37 pm

    Stephen A. needs to keep doubting the Knicks. I swear to god when he starts talking positive about them, they start losing.

      Yeah he’s bad luck, I’ve been saying that.

    Stephen A downplayed Knicks hard for no reason getting personal with Mikal and Jalen. He’s a fake fan like we been saying for years. With that said LGK!
