Are the Knicks trending in the wrong direction? They just went on an extremely difficult road trip and went 3-1. They also had a win streak before losing to the Nuggets and have now won their last two. What should a team do when three starters have been out for at least two months? Also Mitch isn't out for the season.
Knicks for clicks, I stopped watching once he said cavs are the clippers of the east.
Mitchell Robinson played tonight…he was rumored to play for the last week or so. Do your research.
Pelicans Stole the 4th seed. And we’re 3-1 vs the clips this year. Clips are a first round exit.
this mindset is gonna set you up for disappointment.. regular season don’t mean anything once them playoffs start
Yeahhh, I dunno about that. The Clips are full of veterans with playoffs and championship experience. Never disregard that
🤣🤣🤣 playoffs a different ball game
Yea the have James Harden. They aren’t going anywhere
@@kkrstudiosbut they also have James harden Westbrook and Paul George all on the same team. 3 of the top 10 chokers of all time
Tell me you don’t watch any games without telling me me 😂😂😂
Mitchell Robinson is not out for the season, he’s actually close to returning. He’s been practicing with the team and is set to be back before OG and Randle. OG is also shooting again
Knicks for clicks, he has no idea what he's talking about and he included the Knicks here to have a 'subtle' lolknicks jab
Knicks can win the championships Knicks fully healthy can beat the Celtics
@@Him7382No. they can’t💀
@@Him7382 Nah! Only focused, in-form Bucks can beat the Celtics in the East! But the Bucks are so all over the place that can lose to the Heat again! It's western teams mostly that can beat the Celtics with first and foremost being the defending champs! T-Wolves fully healthy also a bad match-up for the Celts cos they are so big, athletic and good defensively.
Bro fully healthy Knicks were unstoppable in January
Never been this early
Ya late lol
I'm a Cavs fan and I think we're really in trouble. Even when we're healthy, Garland and Mitchell really don't play well together and Garland is a poor defender. Garland should be leading the 2nd unit but the coaching staff refuses to do this. I'm not optimistic regarding our future.
You do remember that the NBA denied the Knicks Disabled Player Exception (DPE) request for Mitchell Robinson, right? That’s because he could return this year and he’s closer to returning, as he’s practicing with the team.
Played last night and had 2 blocks in 12 minutes…baring any setbacks…the Knicks just got better instantly!!
My friend is a Clips fan. I have to check on him consistently.
What about Golden State?? The Houston Rockets are ON THEY ASS. And if the Rockets don’t bounce em out the last play in spot then I don’t see me winning a series against ANYBODY RN 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
They're not a contender
It wouldn't be a "you're screwed" video without a Sixers mention 😂
I think you have to pick 1. I don’t think you can have the cavs and the Knick’s on here. Especially when you used the Knick’s being a half game back against the cavs
Knicks a 1/2 game back of 3rd with tie break and 3 back from 2nd, with all 1st picks incl. Mavs/bucks picks with a ton of cap space they didn’t go all in… OG is soreness, Mitch wasn’t there for most of this run it was Isaiah and Randle wants to come back to play
Dude…I usually like your videos…but this one I gotta disagree with you.
Clippers will be fine in the playoffs.
Cavs should be ok depending on where they stand and who they play in the first round AND if Spida is healthy
The Knicks?????? I get it with the injuries…but not only are they playing good basketball, not only are they beating teams they should beat…THEY ARE STRAIGHT UP DOMINATING AND EMBARRASSING TEAMS.
Yeah, they lost to the nuggets…only after taking the first 3 of that West Coast trip.
They play phenomenal scheme defense, their chemistry is amazing.
Winning a couple playoff series without Randle AND OG might be difficult (I think having OG is a little more important for what he does on both sides) but screwed?????
If I’m any team in the East…the Knicks are the last team I want to face in a 7 game series…and that includes the Celtics.
The Sixers with or without Embiid are downright f*****
Knicks are in 3rd place despite significant injury time from 3 starters, and they should have all 3 back at least at partial strength by postseason. Other than Boston i don't see an unwinnable conference series.
Philly is a 'contender' by the most generous definition unless you're including teams that theoretically looked like contenders at some point in this season.
If the NY Knicks 🧡 lose in the 1st round of the NBA playoffs. HC Thibs would be fired easily.
Overworked the players that caused injuries.
I just want a ham n cheese sandwich.
Pretenders is quite different from contenders!
Yes! Believe it or not, most words have different meanings!
same thing with clippers every year when yall gone learn
Every year. Now harden will go 4/14 in game 7
I'll tell you what, if these west teams don't get their acts together, they may get upset by a Rockets team that is trying to take someone's spot. Man if that happens, the NBA would truly be shook.
Kawhi sucks 😔 i still hate his decision to go to la clippers and paired up with pg choker coz i knew it s gonna ruin his career, and i m not wrong 😂😂, well cant blame kawhi he just wanna stay in cali and didnt seems to care abt winning that much anymore.
He doesn't have much to prove. Winning Clippers a ring is extra for him.
@@stump4522 i know but it annoyed me as his fans, knowing he could achieve more in his career🤷♂️
Knicks have been more reliable than the cavs & bucks @ half strength due 2 all our injuries:o.g.,Randle & mitch as well as I-heart. We won a difficult road trip 3-1 & beat teams @ home. (I say we cuz I'm a die hard Knicks fan) If we can win this hobbled I feel sorry 4 whoever is in the east @ the top.
Donovan Mitchell to the magic would be crazy
They don’t need him tho
He put the Knicks on here for no reason. Mitch will be back next week.
N just that quick we got back Mitch n Randle will be back 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
I think the explanation for the Clippers drop is fatigue. Kawhi and George aren’t really use to being this healthy and they prolly fatigued hopefully they either can rest up or get things together before the playoffs start
😂excuses they are the same ole clippers nun new jus fools gold
Let’s be honest this should have been a 29 team video cause the Celtics are just on another level
And still haven’t won anything.
Don’t know, but the Celtics have been getting spanked by the Nuggets all the time. They ain’t going all the way.
lol...what about the Buns?
they are so bad they aint even make the list
Problem with Embiid take is that some of his best games came vs trash teams like Washington and Detroit.... Dude is amazing but this is stat padding, playing trash minutes vs trash teams just so he averages 36ppg
Go Knicks
🤮🤮
@@NotoriousDaveYour mother always gets that reaction 🤢
cant wait for the cavs to be on here
It’s hard to win games when you have the most injured roster in the league
@@Mitchell-yz2id yeah ik lol im a cavs fan but ik he was gonna talk about us cause its always negative media we get usually
Screwed urself 😂
My dear Knicks were looking so good! I couldn’t agree more, even though the Knicks bench is not too bad they’re very inconsistent. Hope we get OG, JR and MR back in time!
Warriors?
Where’s the Celtics?/jk I know they’ll at least make the ECF, but they better win it or, or else 😡
Or else what???
Damn I'm early
Dang I’m early
I'd like to see the Clippers win a championship because in their 54 year history they've accomplished almost nothing.
Also the legacy.
Russ get a ring
Harden get a ring
Pg get a ring
Kawhi cements himself as one of the greatest to do it
You lost my brother. I realized in a few vids you just use the Knicks name for clicks cause your takes on the Knicks don’t be accurate. Why would we be doomed if the playoffs started today if we literally in the same spot we were when our guys went down in injuries and just came off a winning west Coast trip ,on a 2 game winning streak currently and a half game behind 3rd place ? That literally means we’re trending upward VS going downhill. You clearly lost and just want the attention.
desperately makes a video on criticizing every team's weakness.
I really hope the Clippers fail.
Me too
They always fail
Lol I’ve never seen a team that have won nothing gets so much Hate like the Clippers😂
Knicks on here is crazy
It’s rlly not
@@king_kingston24these fools don't watch basketball
@Dynasty-Star The Knicks are a half game behind the 3rd seed and OG and Mitch are both set to come back in a couple games. You guys don't watch basketball
@@jj47k. we're still without our best players in Randle and OG! If the playoffs started today it would be bad fool!
@Dynasty-Star Bad against who, The Magic, the Pacers? These videos make no sense because it's all hypothetical. OG and Mitch are coming back in a couple games and Randle will be back as well FOOL
Really, the Knicks are contender 😅😅
Did your dumbass watch them this year?
Yes they are contenders. They remain at 4th seed despite being unhealthy for alot of the of the season.
@@emersonssbb we would revisit this buddy 😅😅😅💀💀💀
Knicks contenders? 😂😂😂😂 for what losing in the first round .. the knicks aren’t even eastern conference contenders… jalen Brunson is a nice lil player he will never be a superstar .. and until the knicks get one or develop one they are never contenders
Besides the Celtics and maybe the bucks the Knicks are better and can beat any other team in the east. They're a half game behind the 3rd seed and only the Celtics are the real threat.
Bro you have such casual and bad takes, you should actually watch a couple nba games each night and spend less time editting. Cant believe i ever watched your videos years back😂😂😂😂
