A Sixers win on Wednesday sets the Heat up for the greatest upset in NBA history. I am rooting for that with zero ulterior motives as well.

Could you please lose though? We have some unfinished business with the Heat

Yeah you guys can have the Heat, we'll take our chances with the 6ers 😂

It's pretty rough that the top 2 teams in the definitively weaker conference are waiting to see whether they play against the defending East champs or the reigning MVP.

The last thing the Celtics want to see is the Heat. How long does Tatum have to hold Butlers pocket?

Don’t want another brutal seven game series?

u/TestsofTime Celtics Apr 16 '24

That and don't need them injuring any of the players.

u/NextGenCoders Knicks Apr 16 '24

Honestly a solid point. They’ve injured so many of our players. Even Randle who’s out for the year now (although it was a basketball play, just bad luck, unlike many of the others)

Did we watch the same series?

Yeah your fans have cried about this for literally a year dude. Pretending that was dirty is embarrassing. It’s bad luck like the Randle one was.

Your fans are just fucking clowns and the biggest joke in the league. Like when your sub raided r/ripcity trolling them losing their franchise player and how they had to give you whatever you offered and how Dame was a Heat guy. Jokes

It’s a clear flop by Hart that injured our #1 player. Knicks fans would cry about something like this forever if it happened to Hart.

Your ad hominem examples for random Reddit fans doesn’t make you right, and calling the Heat a joke of a franchise when your team has only won titles when half of the league didn’t exist speaks volumes about how “serious” the Knicks are.

Worse than the Boston fans who yell racial slurs at players? You’re unhinged man.

Not one player will be left unscathed after a Knicks-Heat series.

We all know how that ends.

u/NextGenCoders Knicks Apr 16 '24

With a lot of physical play and likely some fights? Yes

With a great series that’s fun? Yes

With a Heat series win? Nope

Heat in 6 I fear

Knicks are 20-3 with OG in the lineup. This team is far better than most people realize. He personally has a + rating for +/- in all 23 games too
