Have to admit, no one thought we would come out and lay the wood like that. A smaller margin would have obviously swung the momentum, but this lambasting puts us squarely in the drivers seat.

The funny thing is that aside from Hartenstein and Burks, all of the Knicks could have played better. Brunson missed a ton of shots he normally hits. 35 attempts should have been a 50+ game for him. He barely got to the line. Donte was off. Hart missed shots in the paint he normally hits.

Meanwhile the Pacers actually shot lights out -- nearly 60% from 3 through the first 3 quarters! If anything they peaked.

OG return game 7 in MSG? That would be nuts

so game 1 of the ECF because there isn't gonna be a game 7.

Shooting the lights out doesn't matter if you're out-rebounded by more than 25. We killed them on the glass. And Brunson shot better than 50%. In what world isn't that outstanding? Could he have been more efficient? I guess, but nobody should $hit on him for shooting 18/35.

Draymond needs to put the mic down, get off camera, and spend that time watching more games if he wants to be taken seriously. Everything he says exposes him for not knowing wtf he’s talking about. Honestly not qualified to have an opinion.

Dunno how any active player really could speak on another team to that extent when they don’t have the time to put in to really know anything about them.

We're built far different from that Hawks team.

Knicks for clicks. He's learning.

But also, a stupid, stupid take. It's like saying Sacramento Kings or Pacers are the same as the Warriors because they shoot a lot from 3.

We finish them off this game and Min/Den goes 7 then we get 5 days to rest. Need to get it done. Boys need their rest. Greater chances for the return of OG as well. He has started mild court work. More time off the better.

I believe the ECF starts regardless at the same time on Sunday

Rachel on undisputed this morning was making it out like Sunday would only be Min/Den if it goes 7. ECF would start the following week maybe Tuesday or Wednesday.

So we are praying for a min/ den game 7
