Adam Silver is so freaking soft! Stern would've fined that toddler at least $100K and given him a final warning or next time it's a suspension.

we need Brunson to step up from three point territory... that would open up even more our scoring options and would be the ultimate killer for their hopes to win this series... Brunson is still bad from three with 32% of the shots made... its been around 33% since late January and most of the made shots have come from the right wing

Love this video and what I learned yesterday in the Jay wright video about Donte is he carried teams in his young career before he got into college...
I think Divo could be Brunson's Klay-maybe better if Divo keeps pushing himself to get better...

I'd frame it this way. What if Donte's progression is now at the inflection point Brunson's was when he joined the Knicks?

IOW, Donte is possibly (probably actually) becoming the star SG that belongs next to Brunson.

As he is breaking out this season as a top perimeter shooter in the NBA, his trajectory to becoming a legit nightly scoring threat from all spots on the floor seems to be the trend now.

His defense has been top notch as well. The biggest knock on Donte was his consistency and that Thibs wouldn't utilize him for extended minutes due to his lack of defense. He has proven in these playoffs he can be a difference maker on both ends. More than O and D, its amazing how well he fits next to Brunson. He doesnt need the ball to thrive, is constantly moving and the defense must play up on him due to his lethal stroke. Honestly he has become everything we wanted Grimes to be.

If this is the case and if the front office believes this, then the upgrade to this team should come from Randle’s spot. Flip him for a 3&D stud like OG and you move Hart back to his super 6th man role and you got something special for 4-5 seasons.

I think the backcourt is probably already set for next season if they bring over Rokas. That'd give us JB, Donte, Deuce, Rokas

I expect changes to be due to their plan for the frontcourt which aside from OG is going to be up for consideration. They'll sign OG. Precious and iHart are FA's and Mitch is injured often.

So the only certainties are Randle and OG, but Randle could be traded.

I expect some of these guys to be moved in a trade. Or not retained. Or signed and traded.

Our backcourt is holding up enough to compete, but our frontline is paper thin now.

You know it's coming.

Refs have been notified to get on the whistle for Indiana to make more games happen so more profit.

Expect a FA advantage of +20 for Pacers tonight and for two Knick players to foul out.

Jeffries probably plays 20 minutes tonight, that's how bad it'll get.

I think the exact opposite will happen. I think (hope) Silver is pissed at Carlisle's crying and the zebras will punish them tonight.

But then again Silver is no Stern.

he has to punish them Cry baby Rick went too far...

In a time where Knick fans could use every bit of positive news they likely wouldn't keep positive results secret even if it is only for a PR win...

You're probably not going to hear specific info about MRI results, good or bad. It's just good playoff strategy to keep the other team guessing for as long as possible regarding the status of a player as important as OG. It's sort of the same thing Philly did by listing Embiid as "questionable" and then magically making him available at game time.

Since they can't tell the fans info without also tipping off Indy, our desire to know is irrelevant and unimportant at this time while we go to war.

the minute I saw crybaby Rick at the post game talking about small market teams deserve a fair shot- I said oh boy -you just killed Indy
I also expect the Knicks to come out with a focus to keep this game out of the refs hands too...
I think we win tonight -just my feeling...

Yup I Truly see a win tonight and then a toss up game 4, ppl are sleeping on the Knicks tonight, they are built to play the minutes and it’s one game. I see a 115-107 type of win. That small market comment did them in, so why has a big market like NY been so bad up until recently? Look at the top 2 teams in the west, small markets. Look at your own team for not knowing how to play a lick of defense you loser.

I just heard Josh's comments about crybaby Rick disrespecting them...we coming for their necks tonight :lol:

Good and I think that he got some pretty strong backlash about it as well. People were more sympathetic after Game 1 but this one they just straight up got beat and in an embarrassing way.

And Hart is right. It's totally disrespectful to us. A true colors moment, if you will.

League's official response to the 78 complaints:

Complaining about Adam Silver being soft is like complaining about a kindergarten teacher being soft.

They got their jobs to be soft.
