Move the ball and stop running down the clock on every damn play while bringing it up the court.

This game doesn’t matter so much, game 4 is the must win.

i think psychologically losing twice in a row to the pistons will be really bad. this isn't a resilient group.

Win this game and they might unlock something beating inside their chests
Lose this game and the momentum will entirely belong to Detroit
We'll also see if Thibs freezes in the headlights.
This may be the game that decides his future as Knicks coach

if we lose everyone will blame thibs, who should absolutely be replaced now that leon's cashed in for this style of team. but if we lose, to these scrappy young detroit pistons, it is 100% the fault of key players being pussy

We ran a 6.5 man rotation last game. It's all about the HC. HE SUCKS.

someone brought up thibs never playing 5 out... i assumed it was more because i felt like we did run an actual 5 out offense a decent amount as the 2nd unit (payne, deuce, shamet + kat and usually 1 of bridges/OG).
so I looked up the numbers on nba.com...
in the playoffs so far we have ran 2 minutes without hart/mitch on the floor (out of 96 so 2%).
in the regular season we ran less than 150 minutes of actual 5 out - out of almost 4000 total minutes
that is under 4%. I thought we traded for Kat to play 5 out?
FIRE THIBS

You're not entirely wrong. The players bare responsibility, too.

Assuming it was for 5 out was probably a bad call.
Noah on steroids was prob a better way to look at the role. That’s what Hartenstein was for us and we lost him.

It’s always more nuanced than the hills we choose to fight and die on.

5 of the 8 quarters are within 2 pts or less. This series is a lot tighter than some want to admit.

This is a war. I’m here for it.
Even with my sweep prediction I never thought it would be a dragging. Was just hoping it wouldn’t go long.
