When a team loses badly against a lesser talented team everything looks bad. If heat lose then there would be folks crying how Riley built around old bums and undrafted trash.


yes, alot of the discussion changes based on the results...but i guess it's a results based business.

the knicks can definitely run it back and see if internal/organic growth helps them. and it would be a safe decision to go that way. they should still win around 50 and maybe advance depending on matchup. and considering how the knicks have been bad for so long, this would be the most likely option.

but that's where the good gm's seperate themselves from the great gm's. these are all just guesses on what should be done - nobody knows exactly what to do

Best/most entertaining series this round IMO. Knicks are finally in a good spot. They have work to do but they have a respectable club and haven’t mortgaged their future (yet).

All those dirty plays targeting Jimmys ankle and rigged officiating all for nothing.

Heat were just bad matchup for us plus josh hart our defense engine wasn't allowed to play like bam and butler. Mitch always gets exposed against the Heat he wouldn't look so useless against Philly or Boston.

Foster willed the Knicks into the bonus before the 9 minute mark in the 4th (Heat weren’t there until under 1 minute left)

Glad someone else noticed that. You almost never see a team in the bonus for 9+ minutes.

Biggest difference was Miami's bench stepped up and Knicks' "all star" and the bench disappeared

the refs, and Josh Hart, the league needs to do something about his "pretend flopping" that is aimed at injuring other players

Hart pretends to flop but really he's throwing his legs at Jimmy's ankles to trip him, he did it several times in the series and it got Jimmy hurt.

We might have won this series but with a hobbled Jimmy, we are going home soon too because of Josh Hart dirty player.

Knicks fans are funny. Yeah, we won, but the fact remains we had to overcome a masterclass performance by Scott Foster to do it.
