Sad but true. He's very good but you can see the big difference between he and Brunson in this series in crunchtime, he's just not a superstar level guy while Brunson is which is crazy when you consider the physical differences between the two.

Tbh they should have been swept. Very lucky to win game 2. Idk if it’s pathetic or amazing they got a game in this. They definitely shouldn’t have been in the playoffs. You can’t have Ausar Thompson as a starter, with Cade as your go to guy and such little size inside.

Just soooo many holes on this team due to poor drafting and not being smart in free agency

Debbie downers saying Cade isn’t the guy are ridiculous.

Utter BS non-call by the refs.

Na, we should have swept the Knicks.

No Stew, no Ivey, but we can't beat "the man" too

It's cade's first playoffs. He made such huge strides this year. Gotta believe he will learn from this series and improve.

Pacers fan here.

The contact on THJ was 100% foul.

Absolutely a foul. He was tackled.

That can’t be a no call. :curse:

I guarantee it wouldn’t be that way if it was Bronson shooting. :nonono:

He may be at some point, but he's not yet.

"The guy" doesn't lose the game with the ball in his hands. On two consecutive possessions.

Cade is putting up numbers in a players 1st playoff series not seen since Wilt and Oscar…..

We are a not called back court violation and a not called foul on THJ from being 3-1. That doesn’t even consider that we were the better team for most of game 1.

Even losing this series, what this group has accomplished has been far more than I expected. Next year, we will have this experience to lean on and hopefully a better roster.

In the meantime….the haters can eat a dick. Boston in 4.

He literally just had one of the best 3rd quarters in the history of the playoffs putting up stats no one has done in nearly 30 years in any playoff quarter.

Stew would have made 0 and mean 0 difference. He’s only 6’8 and very small.

I do think with Ivey we could have pushed this to 7 games because he’s the type of playmaker the team direly needs right now. He’s everybody from a prime time player standpoint that Cade is not.

KATs shots were incredible. Can only tip the cap on that holy moly.

This is probably the sloppiest series I can recall. We have a stupid turnover and they counter with just as dumb turnover. It's so weird. Wildly entertaining which is all I have asked for.

Knicks have traded all their 1st and every other asset they have to get to this point. I think we will be ok moving forward as long as we don’t make really stupid choices.

I understand the higher seeded team getting a few more of the 50/50 calls in the series, but the ones that killed us in the last two games were not 50/50 calls, they were 100% calls in our favor, but the world knows all the NBA commissioners, execs, media, Wall Street, **** is in NYC.

Only Pistons get called for Phantom Fouls... But real fouls - na.. Over-the-back - na.. Only Pistons are asked every **** day for 30 yrs about not shaking Chicago bull hands but never say Celtics walked out while AD was still on the line. I could go on and on... I'm so **** pissed. I keep thinking the game isn't over. Shock.

MrBigShot · Post #199 » by **MrBigShot** » Sun Apr 27, 2025 7:54 pm

Yeah it was a foul but Cade had 3 chances. Once he turned it over, the other two he had two decent midrange looks and missed them. You have to convert at least one of those plays at the end to give yourself a chance to win

Wildest take I've seen.

Come out and say it Simone would've won it for us
