NBA 2025-26 Season Thread: THE NY KNICKS ARE CHAMPIONS! BING BONG!

well there you have it, the best team in toronto...

they might need to bring back nba tv playoff games for cavs/pistons 2nd rd

The refs have an agenda against the Celtics.

Brunson will Thrive
Mitch Robinson don't Jive
Knicks in Five

need my Joel fix
and Tyrese has the tricks
sixers in Six

am I doing this right? 😃

Knicks with Mike Brown’s Motion Offense UNLEASHED have the best offense in the history of sportsbasketball.

Rudy guarding the perimeter tonight like Bobby Jones.

Baptism by fire for Wemby tonight, they fouled him nearly every time he was on offense. But hey they were letting them play, its the playoffs, etc.

Expecting a minimum of 3 three point makes from him in G2.

Fox should be better too, so I'm not concerned. But this one may go 7 games.

Are the Bills the only team to lose three years in a row in the playoffs to three different franchises who were the eventual champions?

12 blocks

Freaking preposterous

Knicks in 3.

He was like a damn monster movie on defense last night.

Woulda had 15+ blocks easily if he didn’t get screened a bunch to be kept away from the rim.

I think he should be guarding Randle though.

Would have had like half the blocks if they called goaltending properly too

Can an American explain to me how the **** do we have back-to-back days of overlapping playoff games when only 2 are scheduled every day?

No.

best explanation i saw was because it is on network tv, they arent gonna run b2b games

so the 2nd game goes to nbc sports network and once that is the case then they care more about start time for local market than national....also they have to be considerate of local affiliate programming sometimes whereas tnt/tbs didnt

definitely bizarre in 2026, this hasn't ever been a thing in rd 2

good thing the line on the lakers game is 2 TDs and a field goal almost i guess

non zero chance it's because literally everyone forgot that this pistons/cavs series is a thing that is happening

This doesn’t even make sense as Lakers thunder are playing on basically West Coast time. It’s a super early start. Nobody is turning in at 5:30pm pst to watch these games.

LeBron gonna go superhuman and the Lakers to a game 1 victory.

They unequivocally are tuning in lol

Cade is simply too big for spyda. Spyda can’t guard him.

Cade is a legit 6’6 i believe

Spyda 6’1. Prolly moreso 6’ or 6’ 0.5”

Detroit in either 5 or 6. The series isn't really in question but Cavs can get hot and win a game or two.

Lakers only down 8 at halftime, they've got a puncher's chance.. just gotta keep it close and let LeBron's IQ shine in clutch time.

Cleveland may be the more talented team but they're led by Harden and Mitchell, two born losers. I mean they're not CP3 level losers but close. Pistons are a bunch of gritty try hards. There is nothing losers hate more than gritty try hards. Ask any loser at the Y to verify that. Pistons in 4.

I think it'll be a long series, thought going in both teams are just too flawed for one to put a beatdown on the other

Cavs will figure out some ways to go at duncan robinson better, I think I counted him getting spun around like 4x in the last 4 minutes
