Been a Knicks fan since Ewing, Starks and Oakley in the 90s when Channel Four had a really good show covering it. Anyone else arsed with the NBA?

The NBA is class! I went to watch the Knicks v the Nets in the NBA tournament back in November! It was an entertaining game!

Who I support varies because it’s the players I follow rather than the teams. That said, I do have a soft spot for the Knicks and Jets (NFL) after going to games in the USA!

I follow the NBA a fair bit. I like the 76ers though, so this has been a season to forget..

You think there's another 'process' incoming? Not working with the older stars. I can't believe Lowry is still going!

I'm worried they're gonna sh*t the bed and miss the chance to beat Boston with Tatum out, who was unreal in some games I've watched.

Not yet. I think they’ll keep running it back with Embiid and an over the hill supporting cast, and remain in mediocrity for the foreseeable future!

Used to be a huge fan in the late 90s, early 2000s (your photo brings the nostalgia!) but my interest has waned somewhat with the way the game has changed so significantly since.

Orlando Magic are my team & the amazing duo of Shaq & Penny are my all time heroes!

I used to watch it a fair bit a few years back. Steve Nash was my favourite player, always the smallest player on the court (which is quite funny when you consider he is 6ft 3in!) but so skillful and inventive and exciting to watch, so I've got a soft spot for Phoenix Suns.

Phenomenal player, loved watching him.

FYI - a channel on YouTube called 'Gametime Highlights' has 10 min vids of all playoff games. Usually posted pretty soon after the game's done.

I've followed the Utah Jazz since the 90s. Been mostly lows but a few highs and good teams over the years. Now it's an eternal rebuild and the usual zero lottery luck.

I'm not interested in the Knicks as such but it's good to see potentially a new winner or at least a team who hasn't won for a long time this year, unless Jokic has other ideas.

Just seen their record this season - ouch!

Did any of the picks they got from trading Mitchell amount to anything, or look like they will eventually?

The roster is better than the record but the team was hard tanking, so it's even harder to judge. Early days as well as the picks for Mitchell and Gobert go on for years and have been recycled into other players and picks, and the rookies haven't had long enough. Signs don't look great though. They are trying to draft a "franchise" player but it's hard to do that at 5-10 pick. Other teams like Detroit took years to even be competitive even with multiple high draft picks.

I watched a fair bit of NBA, have bit a bit lapse past few years, have the app on my phone which I have a glance now and then, when I was proper following it for me was the Nets, when they had; James Harden, Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant, Blake Griffin, Lamarcus Aldridge, DeAndre Jordan in their roster, that was a class team.

Loved players like John Wall, Russell Westbrooke, Draymond Green, Seth Curry, Damien Lillard, Devon Brooker and Jimmy Butler

It's an interesting match up. KAT got 40 against them earlier in the season, but that was with Turner out.

Pacers offence has looked good throughout the playoffs, but that why OG and Mikal were brought in.

Can see it going to game 7

The lack of reaction for me was the biggest thing... After Haliburton goes around giving the Choke signal, only for it to be ruled a 2 pointer, you have to then ram it back down his throat, and we didn't.

Game 2 is a MUST win

Another Knicks fan here. I went to see them early 2000's on a work trip and followed them since.

doesn't look good for the Knicks, never looked like they were gonna take that one. Siakam, Turner and Haliburton feels too much. Don't see enough Knicks senior players stepping up so far.

Let's be honest.... it's netball for boys.



And baseball is glorified rounders.

And American football is Rugby for men who need a helmet and padding so they don't get hurt.


WWF is just pantomime


American "sport" is rediculous.
