I get that you were responding to the post calling the Knicks clowns, but personal attacks are now allowed. Don't insult other posters.

What kind of odds are you giving Game 6 and 7 each to get only 60% for the Pacers?


I didn’t see a lot of this series but thibs unlocked Kat telling him not to shoot 3s. Changed the complexion of this game


LOL, you think Thibs said WHAT to Towns? Coaches don’t last in the NBA telling “the best shooting big man of all-time” not to shoot threes. If there’s a reason Towns only took 4 threes today it’s probably because he didn’t trust his knee on the release.


You don't think Thibs said anything to Towns? You think Towns did that on his own? He played completely different. The staggered minutes...Thibs is coaching his ass off right now.

Thibs makes a crucial adjustment and everyone is quiet around here. Doesn't fit the Anti Thibs narrative.

He still hasn’t adjusted the hart / Robinson thing … Robinson is playing as many min now as he was when he came off the bench. And hart is playing as many mins as when he was starting meanwhile being an absolute travesty. The wright and shamet thing came out of foul trouble not an adjustment. To his credit they are getting some minutes. For them to win this series, though the hart / Robinson adjustment which was again basically forced on him in the starting lineup needs to show throughout the course of the game, not just the first 8minutes of each half. Because as of now, Mitch has inexplicably been benched the last 2 4th quarters.

I think the reason Mitch starts is so he can play the non-bonus parts of the 1st and 3rd quarters. He doesn't play in the 4th because Thibs knows he'll get hacked.

Pacers favored by 3.5 pts in Game 6.

Still very confused which team to pick Saturday. On one hand you have a Pacers team that’s looking like a team of destiny playing back at home after a letdown game.

On the other hand, here’s a Knicks squad coming off a statement win at home but are road warriors this playoffs not to mention they have also delivered some miracle wins this postseason a la Pacers.

A day or so to sit on this and maybe decide by tipoff time, this is really a toss up game considering the close odds and could go either way.

It was clear to everyone he should have been doing this all season long. This happened now out of necessity, not out of some grand strategy.


Nah. Shamet got a regular shift in the regular season, but we didn't need him in the first two rounds and running a shorter rotation actually helped against Detroit & Boston. While Wright needed some time to settle in, and Payne was really good for us in the regular season...as well as being crucial to us winning game 1 of the Pistons series.

Plus we didn't have this bench for a lot of the season; Robinson missed ~60 games, Shamet ~30, Achiuwa ~20, McBride & Payne ~10, Wright wasn't on the team until the dealine...we got pretty lucky with our starter's health this year, but our bench only started coming together at the tail end of the regular season.


We could’ve definitely used Shamet and Delon sooner. Outside of G1 against the Pistons, Payne has been absolutely putrid this playoffs. Could’ve cut into Hart’s minutes too. Glad it’s happening now, but it took having their back against the wall for Thibs to finally make adjustments.
