Well it was a great season guys. I honestly didn't expect us to get past Boston before that series began, so as much as this ending sucks it was still the best run we've had in decades. Regroup, make some changes and we'll be back next year. Just praying that we win a chip before my demise.

It was a great season otherwise.


Losing game 2 hurt worse for me.

The team has too many weak defenders.

Subbing KAT out did not change our defense.

Brunson and Hart can't defend, same as KAT. Mikal is pretty average besides flashes of brilliance.

This team has a lot of holes. Pasta drainer Knicks.

Leon had an awful offseason in 2024. Beyond awful.

It’s not just the overpay for Bridges

It’s the overpay on Anunoby’s contract when he could have just let the market play out

I still like the Towns trade - but the other 2 moves put this organization in a very tough position going forward

Leon Rose got lucky with Jalen Brunson. He’s been pretty bad elsewhere

KAT is a tradable asset under contract....the guys they traded don't have anywhere the trade value. Even if you wanted to move him off this bad game 6...he still has way more value on the market.

It was a awful game but he also had some pretty steller games as well. It is what it is.

I expect more from our best player though. Brunson game was trash tonight.

It's hard to pin this on just one person. Hart? KAT? JB with his turnovers, OG missing free throws? I can go down the line, we had them twice and a dumb turnover here, missed free throws there and we didn't allow oursleves a chance to bring it home..

Thibs wasn’t at fault here, btw. The players threw the game away with the turnovers.

I want Thibs to step down, mutually part ways or get fired within 48 hrs of our exit

Anything less is incompetence from Leon

So it's more like repeat history than making history.
Are you fans of the team or the player?

Trade the rest of the team besides them two. Actually Mitch can stay. But fck the rest of them.


Nah F Mitch too. Get me Giannis and Booker.


I don't get how we want to keep Mitch? He's injury prone, can't shoot FTs, if he doesn't get those offensive rebounds, he isn't a whole lot. We are in the era of stretch 5s.... Mitch is in the wrong era and Thibs wants to play Mitch for 25+ mins.

Thibs is going nowhere, back to back 50 winning season and a conference final. He is getting a contract extension.

Still don’t feel it was a choke … an incompetent management is not quite a choke but I am splitting hairs
