Congrats to the Knicks, But Relax… Like Kobe Said: Job’s Not Finished

New York Stand Up… But Sit Down Just a Little Bit Too.

I absolutely can’t believe this.

I CAN’T!

I woke up, looked outside, and I swear I saw a pig doing a backflip off a horse with wings.

Pigs flying. Horses moonwalking. And apparently, hell has frozen over—because the New York Knicks are going to the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since 2000.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS.

A whole quarter century.

Some of you weren’t even born, and some of you hadn’t even had teeth yet, the last time the Knicks got this far.

And on Friday night? The Knicks didn’t just win… they made it RAIN.

To end the drought, New York absolutely torched the Celtics—shooting 46.2% from the field and 34.8% from three in a disrespectful 119-81 beatdown.

At one point, they were up by 45 POINTS at the end of the third quarter. That ain’t a game—that’s a statement.

Brunson and Anunoby both dropped 23.

Bridges gave you 22.

Towns added 21 and 12 boards.

Josh Hart added 10 points, 11 rebounds, and 11 dimes, and “Deuce” McBride threw in 10.

They were cooking like it was a Sunday fish fry in Harlem.

Meanwhile, Boston looked like they showed up to the wrong gym.

Jaylen Brown had 20.

Derrick White? He had eight.

And of course, no Jayson Tatum, who tore his Achilles. That’s a season-shifter. So yes, Knicks fans… Be happy.

But don’t be delusional.

Don't Act Like You Just Won the Chip

Look—I know what this means to NYC.

The Mecca.

The Garden.

But you all need to RELAX.

Some of you are acting like there’s a Larry O’Brien trophy waiting at Times Square.

And Now… The Pacers Are Waiting.

The same Pacers who bounced New York last year.

Jalen Brunson did all he could, but injuries crushed the Knicks’ hopes.

Now? The rematch is HERE. And it’s personal.

This isn't the old Pacers either. This team has been DOMINANT in the postseason—only two losses total.

Just finished bodying the No. 1 seed Cleveland Cavaliers like it was light work.

They play fast.

They defend.

And they don’t back down from nobody.

This isn’t going to be another Celtics situation.

This series is going to look more like Detroit—grimy, physical, old-school Eastern Conference basketball.

Tyrese Haliburton? That boy's different. Pascal Siakam is still a certified bucket and a champion. Mathurin, Nesmith, McConnell? They are coming at you in waves.

Knicks Are a Legit Title Contender—Now Prove It

Let’s give flowers where they’re due: The Knicks are one of the last four teams standing.  That’s not luck. That’s not an accident. That’s not a fluke.

That’s a title contender.

Now it’s time to prove you’re not just happy to be here. Because in a city like New York, there are no participation trophies.

It's CHAMPIONSHIPS.

🗽 Eastern Conference Finals tip off May 21st in New York. And I've got just one thing left to say:

THE JOB ISN'T FINISHED.
