PG - this is the opposite of fun

[Jalen Bluntson]

Absolutely pathetic man nothing can be easy

-Brunson was brutal
-Mitch was great but lost a bunch of balls
-KAT wasn't great
-McBride is lost
-Everyone blaming Bridges but he was fine

Even with all that we were rite there, they defended fine,
Will be closed out game 6, chill out.

We losing this series bro.

I always say Thibs = Doc Rivers. Maybe it's Thibodeau's turn to lose a series after being up 3 - 1.

Fingers crossed. Lose the next two and he should be fired as many times as Doc has too.

Thibodeau is going to ride off into the sunset after giving up a 3-1 series lead.

I think Thibodeau lasted this long because Leon knows once he fires Thibodeau the clock starts on him.

Stop, nonsense this is over Thursday night. I know it's the simple thing to do w what we have been through as fans for so long(lol) but Brunson and KAT not shooting 9/30 again.

No. We haven't played well the entire series. If not for a missed call we're down 3-2 easily right now. Where do you get your confidence from? Blue and Orange lenses?

Ok brother I will be here Thursday night to remind you lol. This is over in Detroit.....some RIDICULOUS calls tonight like the blocks that were goaltends. No excuses, close out Thursday.

I won't be here Thursday. I'm not watching anymore. I'm not delusional. We will be lucky to win one of the next two games and that will be the last game we win until next year. I'm certainly not watching us get slapped around by Boston because Thibs is a moron. It's enough watching this series. Trashketball!!!

Yeah this sums it up perfectly. I could feel it happening right after the 95-95 tie

Pistons were up 101-95 with 1:57 to go on a Cade basket

While the game was still winnable at that point, we don't want to be down as many as six points with less than two minutes left.

Knicks need to have the lead, be tied, or be down no less than one possession if it's going to go down to the wire.

Pistons having the lead and making it a two possession game with less than two minutes to go is a lot to overcome.

One or two plays go our way, we could have gone to overtime and won it then.

That was the most fun. Watching the team squander a six point lead to them while Brunson and Hart waited to check in and Tom never called a timeout. Two minutes went by!!

Thibodeau has no feel for the game.

Do you think a new coach is going to have brunson play off the ball more? Or is Brunson who he is, a ball dominant guard that looks for his own more than getting his teammates involved?

[Wildcat]

Hard to blame Thibs for this one if the engine of his offense shoots 25% from the field. But I need Thibs to show me something in Game 6. Make adjustments. Try putting in Delon or something. Give us a wire-to-wire victory that we wanted for Game 5.

We've had 82 games and 5 playoff games to see Thibs make adjustments. Hasn't happened.

This is Thibs playbook. Enough of a track record to prove it. So I think JB can play off ball.

[Jalen Bluntson]

Well... It was a fun run while it lasted. The playoffs really have been disappointing so far and it's not going to improve. See ya when the coaching search begins Friday morning.

[snadler]

Not sure what was more flat, the msg crowd or the team. I have heard better crowds in January.. which is why a game 7 in NY could be a Knicks disadvantage

[sol537]

Ya'll need to chill. Yes, Thibs isn't a championship coach and we aren't winning a title this playoff run. Full stop. Accept that reality now and you won't be disappointed.

We will either lose to Detroit in epic fashion and Thibs gets canned or we'll beat Detroit and bow out to Boston in 4 or 5 games and he likely still gets canned. Accept that one of those two outcomes is what we're in store for and then you'll be able to watch these wins/losses without losing your mind.

Brunson is near the top of the league in scoring and assists. You should try watching the games. This is a stupid take.

No one is admitting this - Jalen wasn’t 100% going into this game already, after another tweak he’s going to be even more of a shell. Compare him in the last couple of games to how nimble and quick on his feet he was last year at this point of the year, he even looked slimmer.

[Wildcat]

This is why trading 5 picks for mikal makes no sense.

We have no one on this team who can create outside Brunson and a coach who runs iso sets or wants his team to run off turnovers/rebounds.

Need play calling to actually see if you have a secondary shot creator. Mikal on paper should be able to do it. He was doing it in the early part of last season with the Nets. It's the **** system. I literally want to start a 2K season and fire Thibs immediately.

Sure, but we still need a guy who can cook 1v1. That's playoff basketball. The reason this series looks so bad is there are 2 guys in the whole series who are really 1v1 players. their coach runs some PnR with baseline cuts. But those are the only plays were seeing in the whole series. Its just bad basketball with misused talent on our side. Though we need someone outside of Brunson who can create.

Team doesn't need a secondary creator as much as they need a coach that can maximize this offense.

The Knicks didn’t give the crowd any reason to cheer. Everything looked frigid and lifeless.

No one is losing their mind. Perhaps they just don't want to watch trashketball run by a clown HC anymore. The proof is in the pudding. Thibs isn't winning a title with this team or any team. Moving on is what is best for everyone.
