Admitting you miss him, what a day.

(The black guy on the left, not OG)

We could have used both today. And Mitch.

I think it’s the exact opposite - they’re ready for the playoffs and over the regular season.

What you saw today is exactly what's going to happen in playoffs. JB will get locked up and doubled then he'll just turn it over

I miss last year's team.

This team has 60-wins talent and health but Thibs got them playing like a barely 50 win team.

Team was 40-20 and now 50-30.

.500 over the last 20 games.

5th easiest schedule in the league so far.

Keep defending Thibs. He's excellent. Lol.

it's not about anyone specific. i don't miss randle spinning into double teams and bricking in the playoffs. but the team just doesn't have the same energy. it's missing something. the chemistry is not the same. even some of the guys that were here last year don't seem the same. there's something off.

What did you think of the Ron Holland kid? I'm almost certain he's a sham guy.

i like him. lotta energy. i like their team. but they're too young to win a round yet and they need another scorer.

A lot of energy and his Instigate Fight rating is already 99, which is impressive for a 19 year old. I don't fear them in a series in the least bit, they're a year or two away from being real threats.

7 TO from KAT is nasty stuff.

If the Knicks face the Pistons, Pistons in 4. Sorry I predicted Pistons in 5. I didn't account how awful Thibs is.

Brunson’s been injured in that 20 game stretch and even now he’s not all the way back so doesn’t mean much

Also, Duece is too small to play the 2 he's only 6'1. Shamet should take his minutes since he's our best shooter and better on ball defender than duece mcnugget

We weren't even dressed though. I'm not mad at all. Hart/OG/Mitch and this is a different game. I would have been happier seeing less of all of the starters from her out and playing the the entire bench more. Like, end of the bench.

Payne/Shamet/Precious
Kolek/Mac/Pac/Tucker

Play them all.

Clyde_Style · Post #74 » by **Clyde_Style** » Fri Apr 11, 2025 1:50 am

Even though Thibs sucks, there is still no good reason why we should lose a series against Detroit with OG and Mitch

On the other hand, I saw how everyone posting in the GT in the first half tonight was saying we would stomp the Pistons in the first round.

I was the contrarian and said it would be a very good series. I stand by that.

There is nothing to take for granted. We should win, but DET is not a pushover assignment

Knicks should really lose their last 2 to avoid Boston at all costs.

A lot of questions about this team will be answered pretty soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They were supposed to start a fight or something because they threw a lob at the end of the game???

It's kind of a microcosm of the game. The Pistons wanted this one more than the Knicks did. They wanted to send a message. We weren't really interested in doing that. Probably at least in part because a few guys were out but also there's no reason to go all out with our spot pretty much wrapped.

Last years team felt like they always found a way to win. This year they always find a way to lose

If that is what gets Thibs to lose his job I'll be rooting for that to happen.

Brunson and Shamet would be the worst defensive backcourt in the nba by a wide margin the extra height nonwithstanding
