Game 3 should be the template, not Game 4 where we got lucky KAT bailed us out with insane shot making as the clock is winding down mixed with Brunson getting hot.

I think that starts with Brunson being more of a floor general getting others involved who picks his time to take over. It's a balance he did pretty perfectly last year and I thought he did well in Game 3.

Don't even care. If we have one win left in us this season it won't be in the next series so.... I'm already checked out. I will start watching my Yankees sooner than I expected. I have nothing left for this team. They will be lucky to close out Detroit and I'm rooting for losses. Not my cup of tea.

Enjoy the game fellas. Anxiously awaiting Thibs demise!!

I would rest Brunson this game and take my chances going to game 7 if necessary. Because if we lose him longer we have bigger problems.

Throw Kolek in the fire and give him all of Deuce's minutes. We need offense badly and he gives our guys open looks.

Guess who leads the playoffs in points per possessions when it comes to post ups?

KAT is at 1.11 PPP (1st) shooting 53.3%.

They were asking why Thibs doesn't do this more on the Bill Simmons podcast today with Kirk Goldsberry, which seems like a question we should all be asking.

The last time the Knicks closed out a series at home was in 1999. So maybe that's a good sign for game 6 in DET

Maybe cause Towns doesn't call for the ball

But here's an idea, maybe the coach of the team could make them do it anyway!

I just don't understand the regression from Game 3.

Why do we go from team basketball to dribble dribble dribble drive bailout kick and brick?

It's aggravating. And both Thibs and the players own it. Brunson has got to focus on making everyone around him better. The ball needs to pop. Get everyone going and all of a sudden those lanes of attack look a lot wider.

The game should be opening with Towns beating the dog sh*t out of Harris on the block. If they send help, move the ball

Get Josh off the floor and play Mitch in the dunkers spot and dare them to help.

It's not supposed to be this difficult

If Kolek had been getting a consistent chance to play all season maybe, but throwing him into the fire now seems like malpractices to me.

Kolek. Wright. We saw positives from these guys when they got time, but it doesn't matter.
