PG: Our Guys Stepped Up Down the Stretch

Post #561 » by **Deeeez Knicks** » Fri May 3, 2024 12:28 pm

This was the Knicks best series since the finals run. Ton of memorable plays, intense battles, every game was close, some trash talk, the rivalry between the cities. It worked out very well that we fought all the way to the end of the regular season and got the 2 seed. Get Philly out of the way now.

Haven’t even thought too much about Indy. Still just enjoying this series win. We def can’t underestimate them.

Yeah 3 days off is nice...I thought it was only gonna be 2.

Saw "A message from the POTUS and thought it was this:

Scroll to 3:33.
Either way, this tune applies to our boys. On to the next one.

OG played some weird offense most of the time but that sure was a highlight. If he would just made his free throw after that!

Every time OG attacks off the dribble it's an adventure but he made some incredible plays last night. The guy will be worth every cent of his next contract

I feel that way about Ragu, OGs dribble might not be pretty but he's been a pretty reliable finisher.

What did he say?

Also, f*** him.

Lol he posted a graphic sexual anime gif of "Brunson and Scott Foster before the game." The cognitive dissonance it takes to post that with Embiid on your team...unreal.

If he gets the lane it's a guaranteed dunk. It's when he tries to get past someone where it gets dicey. :lol:

I would love to see him pull up off the dribble more. His mid range touch seems really good.

OG's decision making is great. You may not know what he's gonna do but he usually makes the right decision.

Personnel matters so much. I know people give Thibs sh*t about his rotations but the reality is if guys don't know where to be and where to cover on screens it absolutely tanks the defense. Hart and OG have such high defensive IQs and situational awareness that I understand exactly why Thibs doesn't trust too many guys. You can't teach that stuff

Great win for a great group of players who seem to like each other. Thibs substitution patterns were super creative, very sustainable.

Love rewatching that last Buddy shot with 3.5 seconds still left to go

That one? Jeez, such a fitting demise for troll, can only go out with a wimper.

Just saw a stat that the nova Knicks scored or assisted on 110 of 118 pts of the game

Wow

So many ppl are better than him now. Liked the show with him and Maddog but after the breakup I didn't listen to him no more. I didn't listen them that much though

I listen to him because I've been doing so for decades.And I don't really have the time to sift through different podcasters these days to find one I can enjoy.

I enjoy Michael Kay's show because Don LaGreca is my guy, but I'm a Yankees homer so I'm probably in the minority. I cannot stand Francesca

I don't really like Francesa either, but there are many people that take what his opinion as though it were the absolute truth, even if what he says has little to no merit.

Their speed up and down will be a problem but this is the playoffs and if anyone can slow it them down, we can.
Playoff time and the game usually slows down. A messed up Bucks team held them under 100 twice. If we can hold them under 110 points or so, we should be ok.

OG will probably be on Siakam and Deuce/DDV will be on Hali. I like both matchups. Maybe OG at times on Hali.
I wonder if Precious would do the best on Turner? Mitch not so good on the outside but Turner ain’t quick. IHart might do ok on him.

Interesting matchup.
