Whatever. The Celtics played like this was their game 7 of the finals tonight. They were essentially playing for pride at this point in front of their home court stadium fans. I'd be shocked if the Knicks don't win pretty comfortably in game 6.

Thibs can suck off

Our playoff success is all due to the players gelling at the right time, team chemistry, camaraderie, trust peaking at the right time...

NOTHING absolutely nothing is due to his coaching

Repeatedly letting White take wide open 3s... JB with 5 fouls with 2+ mins left in the 3rd, and fouled out with 7-8 mins left in the game???

I really can't see a Daignault, Carlisle, Spo letting us in a 20 pt hole in a series clincher

I don't understand bad defensive effort in the playoffs period...but when you have a chance to make history? Makes no sense, we're just dysfunctional.

Letting Derrick White drop 34 pts on your head is unacceptable.

Watching him hit 7 open threes is disgusting.

Prepare to be surprised. Not that I want to, but which version of Knicks team will show up in game 6?
Are you fans of the team or the player?

First time?

I won't. The way they played tonight, them playing like garbage on Friday wouldn't surprise me at all. They were completely unprepared and uninterested in playing tonight.

How in the absolute **** do you let your star player GET FIVE FOULS IN ONE QUARTER :rofl:

And people wonder why the Fire Thibs thread still going strong.

We got fully healthy Achilles and still about to lose to a team without one. Can’t make this **** up.

We let them have a “do it for Tatum” second half

Thibs pitch a **** game
Players pitch a **** game on defense

As good as Josh was on offense he needs to take a look at himself for some of the worst defense he’s played all year.

Refs changed the game in the 2nd half put us in the bonus early and team folded.

Jaylen Brown just turns into the good decision machine when Tatum is out. I think I saw one bad shot (ofc a step back contested 3 on Mitch). Other wise, he just kept making the right call

Idk if he can do that two games in a row but he did it tonight

What pisses me off is each **** game the Knicks don't close out, increases the odds of him coming back in healthy. Currently, he's unplayable.

Thibs coached us to 3 wins already, not worried he’ll adjust and get us this next one.

Some of you guys are insufferable lol

Awful game by the team in the 2nd half. They had an awful game 3 and came back strong the next game against a fully healthy Celtics team. They’ll come back strong in game 6.

Return to New York Knicks
