   Why is Knicks employee and fan Monica McNutt covering the series for ESPN First Take? She’s probably been on here 25 times over past three seasons and ALWAYS says the most pro Knicks thing even when they sucked.

    The Spurs always beat the Knick’s. Will the Knicks choke again? Or will they finish and win 4 games? We find out tonight

    A Prayer for the Knicks’ Championship Glory
    ​Heavenly Father, Creator of the game and the source of all strength,
    ​We lift up our beloved New York Knicks as they chase the ultimate glory of an NBA Championship. For decades, the Garden has waited, the fans have believed, and the city has kept the faith. Now, we ask for Your favor and protection over this team.
    ​Grant extra strength, wisdom, and vision to Jalen Brunson, our fearless leader. Let his footsteps be sure, his vision clear, and his spirit unbreakable as he steers the ship.
    ​Bless Karl-Anthony Towns with power in the paint and precision from deep. May he be a towering force of resilience, anchoring the team on both ends of the floor.
    ​Infuse Josh Hart with boundless energy and an unstoppable hustle. Give him the wings to chase down every loose ball and the heart to inspire everyone around him.
    ​Cover OG Anunoby with health, elite focus, and lockdown precision. Let him be an impenetrable fortress on defense and a clutch spark on offense.
    ​And ignite Mikal Bridges with flawless synergy and ironclad endurance. May his two-way brilliance shine bright under the biggest lights.
    ​Lord, as these five and the entire roster pour out every ounce of sweat, blood, and tears onto the hardwood, let them feel the roaring energy of the truest fans in the world. Knit this team together in perfect unity, keep them safe from injury, and let their sacrifice be rewarded with the Larry O’Brien trophy raised high in Madison Square Garden.
    ​Let the orange and blue finally reign supreme.
    ​Amen.

      The Cubs had a curse double longer than the Knicks. No comparison, you’re right.

    Okay that one was funny. It doesn’t have to be a logical debate every time. I like the casual banter of this spot. It’s just one emotional fan spewing WWE-esque takes. 😅

    I am surprised the media is talking so much about the 1999 Knickerbockers team when talking about the Knickerbockers I get the two played each other but no one ever talks about an NBA Finals that you lost the year the media should be talking about is 1973. The 1999 Knickerbockers are irrelevant because they lost, Walt Frazer, Dave DeBusschere, Bill Bradley, Earl Monroe, and Willis Reed, Jerry Lucas, and Phil Jackson are the only Knickerbockers that were relevant. 53 year drought for such a big market team the Knickerbockers need to win.

    In all honesty, what would be cooler to watch, San Antonio going crazy, or the streets of NYC going crazy? We all know the answer
