Tough loss game 1, we handed them over a game but all season long our squad has had their best games after a big loss. This is a gritty squad and will punch back game 2, we basically outplayed them for 45 minutes of the game and let our guard down. Brunson will come out aggressive as will KAT, we need the wings to be better on the defensive end and we MUST box out. Mitch needs more then 21 minutes because he causes havoc out there. LETS GET THIS GAME WIN GAME 2 and go the road where we play more loose and free.

I don't expect these shots to go in 6/6 down the stretch of the game moving foward, Nothing but good vibes, No negativity, this was not going to be a sweep but I still see us winning this series.

LFGGGGGGG
I am more confident now than before. This team will be razor sharp focus. I expect them to come out and execute. Dont be surprised if they stomp the pacers out in back to back games.

We are winning this f’n series.
F**k the pacers

Calm before the storm, its only 1 game, we tie this up tomorrow and we will take game 3 and flip the series. The team knows what went wrong down the stretch its not rocket science we rushed possessions, 2:30 left in the game there should have been NOMORE then 12 possessions even if they were jacking up 3 after 3, you take the clock down to 2-3 second left each time. Lesson learned, they did to us what we did to Boston, I also don't expect them to shoot 73% from the field in the first and only be up 1-2 points. We got this series, that choking gesture, too soon big dawg, that **** lights a fire under a team, they are humiliated and will respond. Now lets go get a god damn snack

i worry about how many minutes he can play and stay healthy/effective. but i absolutely wanted to see him and deuce close it out.

maybe use a timeout for a breather.

but it was sooooo many things at once. missed FTs. turnovers. bad decisions. otherworldly collapse to go with that heroic effort, which should surprise no one who has been watching the pacers all playoffs long.

we are not soft like the cavs. so i am not expecting this to be a trend. 4 wins is still the job. we'll see who's up to it.

Hart was sleeping on that back cut, but watch Mitch. He SEES McConnell cutting wide open to the basket but TURNS BACK to look at Siakam instead of picking up McConnell?@! :crazy: You'd think he'd be able to stop him; or was he more afraid of being blamed if the ball went to Siakam for a corner three? Mitch is in there for this D around the basket. Two of our best players asleep on the crucial basket. :nonono:

If the Knicks are contenders this season and if they have a heart of a champion somewhere in there, they will bounce back this game, take care of business, and then take the series against IND. If they aren't a serious team, then they'll fold like many have before. Either way, we find out what this team's really all about in this game two. And if NYK loses this series against IND, then they had no shot in the finals against OKC anyway.

So far this season, these Knicks have shown that they can handle adversity. Let's see if that continues... Knicks in 6.

i been a knicks fan almost 40 years. this is one L.

TheKnicksFix shared a timely story of triumph i hope you all can take a moment to read. made me think of some ****. viewtopic.php?f=24&t=2453953

harlem. south Bronx. whole 80s. whole 90s. i don't have to say it. i shouldn't be alive. some of the reasons i can't even talk about because some **** doesn't have statute of limitations on it.

everything that's tried to kill me in this life has failed. everything. no weapon formed against me has prospered. none. this is guard body.

****, no. i'm not folding after a loss. city made me far too dangerous for any of that.

Depression is over.

I am angry now.


Everyone from the team and coaches need to get their situational awareness in gear. Tomorrow we smack the sh*t outta them. Defend the three point line. All hands on deck.
