It's a combination of vibes but also expectations. Even post OG trade nobody thought we were going to become some great team. January happened and hype was created. Then brunson carried when injuries happened etc.

It was just a feel good season combined with overachieving.

This year the expectations were so high. And the team just feels off. The record against teams over .500 being terrible etc.

Hopefully they flip a switch and ball out in the playoffs but I have my doubts.

It's April and I don't see the improved chemistry. I thought this team would be special but they don't have the physical toughness or execution.

Bad talent fit, bad coaching fit for whatever the talent is. Thanks Leon!

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

Shamet is a better on ball defender than deuce how is it worse?

Who owns the tiebreaker?

Knicks dropping to 4 would be such an epic win for every reason.

Bucks should be an easy series for us.
Cavs should be a 6 gamer.

Celtics would have had a harder path to get to us going thru Orlando, then either Pacers or Pistons (oh boy, Pacers vs Pistons would be must watch)

We could catch them softened up a bit.

The Knicks don't have a Celtics problem. They have a playoff team problem.

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.

Tuesdays game was the last regular season game mentally for this team, they are clearly over this season and probably the healthiest they’ve been going into the playoffs in last 2 seasons and ready for the playoffs to start.

I do wonder if they decide to sit players the next 2 games and let the seeding play out however it may go and value rest, recovery and health since they will have home court in the 1st round regardless.

We don't play well against winning teams

Not a good problem to have in the playoffs which is a group of winning teams playing each other

Might really fire Thibs but maybe not

If we got our hopes up bc they were playing well they’d suck

So this sets the expectations where there should be: low

Donte was limited in some ways but he helped the offense a lot with ball handling / making plays and deep shots without thinking

Basically no win situation. When we lost Hartenstein. Not enough two way defense and ultimately Bridges and Towns are like glorified castoffs, as is Tom lol

Brunson was playing great before he got injured and was an all star starter so that’s not fair at all :lol:

OG mentioned as better. Hart has had some triple doubles and was a bench player last year now playing an expanded role idk if he’s been that much worse. McBride’s been having groin stuff all year but he’s always been mid

Yeah, if these were actually playoff games I’d get it but they aren’t. We were resting two starters and useful backup big ffs. They were playing like it’s game 7. Chill
