This man’s face says it all. Do we prefer the Cavs, or the Pistons? I don’t care and neither does he.

Here’s what I’m rooting for. A Cavs win tonight, series knotted at 2-2, a grueling 3-2 lead for one or the other, tie it up and a physical and ugly battle in game 7.

Another 9-10 days rest for OG (yes we will need him), heel up the sprained thumb for Josh and the tweaked ankle for Jalen.

I do not think the time off will affect our momentum. The Knicks are playing on a different level in a different stratosphere.

If we get the Cavs we have home court and the Garden crowd and their intensity drives the Knicks into a frenzy of defensive psychosis. Knicks in 6.

If we get the Pistons at their house, it’s Cade as their primary weapon and we’ve got enough to counter Harris, Duren and Robinson with a bench that is deeper with length and defense with Mitch protecting the rim and KAT as a major facilitator. Knicks
in 6.

OG gets to heal, Bridges is playing at a star level and Josh is simply from another planet.

Bring on a lengthy series and let’s take this to the finals. We’ve got enough to win a chip.

Either team, I don’t think it matters this year.

Oubre can stay swaggy in the offseason. He can stand in front of a mirror and make bobble head gestures while dreaming that he’s anywhere near as good, humble or classy as JB.

Embiitch can spend the offseason flopping in his pool and complaining to the pool boy.

Maxey was hogtied by Bridges and Hart and rendered non-existent.

Mitch was a brick wall underneath and yammed on Embiitch’s dome in game 3.

The Knicks took a metal bat to the Sixers. It wasn’t a close series, it wasn’t a competitive series. We took their heart, we took their souls. We took their pride and we took their manhood.

OG gets another week of rest. Hopefully we watch the Cavs and Pistons go through a grueling 7 games.

Get the brooms out Knicks fam.

Don’t think for one second that Mitch isn’t salivating waiting for a gimpy Embiid. We know he’s got a bad knee, we know he’s a dirty bitch, but Mitch is looking for some payback. Mitch is younger, he’s stronger and he’s faster. Retribution is coming for Embiid.

KAT will cook Embiid on the drive. Jalen will go right by him. Pound for pound we are the far superior team and don’t think for one second that the Knicks will simply forget that the defense they played against the Hawks won’t work here.

OG is elite. Our bench is deeper. They’ve got four guys who can score. We’ve got 5 to 6 who can take over a game.

We are the superior team.

Confident: Knicks in 6

The Knicks defense is playing at an elite level right now. Frantic, frenetic, frenzied. Two to three players stepping up to close out on threes. Brunson is channeling Clyde level defense at the moment. Stepping up. Fighting around screens and doubling.

GTA is pest and adds scoring. OG is maniacal. Mitch is a beast. Even KAT is getting his hands in there and knocking away balls.

The bench is deep. Clarkson is doing his job and crashing the boards. Shamet is getting his hands up when he’s in.

If they continue to play at this level, we close out the Hawks tomorrow. They’ve proven they can do it.

If it continues, nobody is beating us.
