PG: Saved By The KAT

[RHODEY]

For everyone thinking we can beat Boston because of what the magic are doing it makes no sense to me, the magic are playing top notch defense from possession to possession and we don’t do that. If we somehow could play comparable defense though we could win a tough series against them.

It makes no sense to me that beating a team that is struggling with the Magic makes no sense to you

Lmao I guess you just don’t know ball then? But in reality being 3-1 on someone isn’t really “struggling”. And in another realm of reality we don’t play defense like the magic do, this isn’t last years team.

I guess you didnt watch the game. They struggled. And if you watch our game you would know we are easily capable of playing defense "like the magic do". I also dont endorse slurping the Celtics for their mid performance versus an inferior team. Sorry if that doesn't make sense to you.

Buddy I was joking around with you. But the magic have played defense at a much higher level then us all damn season. Comparing our defense vs the pistons against the magic vs Celtics is **** hilarious though. You’ve got to be more drunk than me.

Tha Magic are a much better team than the Pistons. Think about that: Banchero missed 40 games, Wagner missed 20 games, Suggs missed like 50 games and Mo Wagner missed half the season. Imagine your stars missing so many games and you best complementary players out for season and yet they finished just 3 wins below the Pistons. If the Magic and Pistons played each other all healthy, the Pistons would struggle to win a single game. The Magic are being led by 2 6'10 all-star forwards that are very difficult to stop and they have the second best defense in the entire NBA. That is despite their best defender missing like 50games and their best bench player as well.

Magic >>>> Pistons

And while the Boston-Magic game was close througout, the Celtics were really leading the entire way more or less. Magic did a good job keeping it close but one never had the impression they could win. I know some are dreaming up scenarios were we go 7 with the Celtics are take the series....you are all setting yourself up for a big dissapointment. The Magic stay home on every possession, letting Boston go 1 on 1 each time--very good strategy but only applicable because almost their entire team consists of good defenders. We on the other side will be helping out left and right letting White, Porzingis, Pritchard rain down open 3-pointers on us all game long.

This! Thank you!

Someone on the team should step on Brunson’s right ankle before the game.

Also, I can’t stand Bitchersaff. Using that challenge in the 1st quarter was really dumb.

Knicks in 5.

Ahhhhhhh. The Pistons. Their tears are like sugary treats, sorrowful nourishment squeezed fresh from the supple teat of the gods. I enjoy it, this drink, and their tears make me fat and full.

[Wildcat]

Heh. Honestly, if you want to get real, it's payback for when Tim decided to show up in the last weeks when the Knicks were tanking.

Missed opportunity by the announcer. Instead of "oh my". Needed to add a "god" at the end for KAT

[Signature NYK]

The best part of Brunson going Super Saiyan in the 4th is that all of those hoops were ethical. The national media narrative ain't going to be able to do much with that.

Being able to retire some KAT narratives is quickly approaching too.

some of the KAT shots were ridiculous. He hit a bunch of big shots but specifically the turnaround with the hand right in his face falling out of bounds and then the 30 footer step back with time running down on almost a wasted possession to go up 1....ridiculous shot making.

Nothing but net too lol

I'm concerned that Mitch looks like hot garbage again and is back to missing all of his free throws. Thibs needs to wake up and play Precious if Mitch isn't in the zone. Thibs rode Precious like Seabiscuit all year, and then when Mitch was cleared to play Precious became the forgotten red headed stepchild thrown into a dark closet.

Knowing Thibs, he'll suddenly ghost Mitch and only play Precious instead.

Until then, Uncle Orc will keep us in suspense sitting on his stubby little hands doing nothing about it

Just watched the 4th quarter in it's entirely again. Last offensive possession for the Knicks after Schroeder taps the ball out, Knicks have 4 seconds left on the shot clock. Not a single player looks over at the bench. There is not even an attempt to ask Thibs what to do. JB first goes to inbound the ball, the players talk it over and then decide Mikal should inbound the ball. They setup a beautiful curl play to get JB free driving to the hoop. I know they practice these players during practice but the fact they didn't want or need any type of direction or confirmation from Thibs speaks volumes.

Am I reading too much into this or does this reiterate the fact that Thibs sucks at in game situations and his own players don't even trust his guidance?!

It could mean they are cpmpletely prepared. You lnow the best prepared coach just has to sit there and watch it unfold. If you're unprepared you have to be constantly barking and involving yourself.

Imagine if we had an above average coach with this roster? ECF would be promised.

Instead we have the dude who runs a Brunson isolation out of a timeout in crunch time.

Everything we get is from pure talent on the floor. Any coach would get the same results, if not better.

This is getting f*cking exhausting man, what is wrong with a Brunson iso out of a timeout in crunch time? The man is one of if not the most clutch players. It has gotten beyond ridiculous.

Nice job, you've missed the point entirely.

You can get a Brunson iso literally any time down the floor. Coming out of a timeout, an opportunistic coach will actually run a well-rehearsed play designed to get an easy basket or a favorable scenario. Not just put it in the hands of his hobbled star and make him work hard for it. It's the opposite of inspired.

I won't apologize for expecting more from a coach with as much experience as Thibs has. It's flat out lazy, and puts limits on this team's ceiling.

That curl play got Brunson an open layup he missed.

So running a play got an easy shot for Brunson? Got it. I'll live with the result.
