Not sure if I can remember one guy playing that well but getting so little help.
Barrett and Randle should be embarrassed, in particular.
And no, it wasn’t about letting Brunson go off and getting other guys out of rhythm. Barrett and Randle got plenty of touches, they just couldn’t make anything except free throws.

It's just a game. Not that big of a deal.

Congratulations on a good run this season New York. Not all is lost. You built toughness & gained experience by being here & facing a very experienced Heat unit.  You're building for the future. You have the pieces. I wish you well in future and hopefully we'll meet again down the road for another battle.

            
                                    
                                    
If u don't want 2b here, the way things work, u don't like it, then don't b here. U have 2 stand on something. If Miami ain't standing on something, they become alot of these organizations trying 2 find their identity. This is the culture, bro -Wade

Brunson came down swinging, put respect in this mans name, he came a long way in just 2 years.

It was fun even though I had a lot of quarrels with toxic Knicks fans here   We probably would have swept it had it not been for Foster's disgrace in Game 2, but I appreciated the struggle of some of the Knicks players. The Knicks have a bad coach and a bad player that they value. Fire Tom and sign Nurse. If you can do Randle+picks for Siakam, do it instantly. I think the Knicks need good rotation players too. A more modern and playoff-worthy center would be better for the Knicks than Robinson. These types of players do some great things but limit their teams ceilings.

Btw don't be so sad boys. I don't think you had a bad season. Second round very good success for the Knicks. You've only been able to do it twice in the last 10 years Enjoy it. I hope we can play here together again in the years to come.

Congratulations to the Knicks, hopefully their front office keeps tinkering since that’s their advantage in this era
            
                                    
                                    The Greatest of All Time debate in basketball is essentially who has the greatest basketball resume of the player who has the best highlights instead of who is the best player

I saw something interesting late in the first quarter. Hart got called for a foul after Lowry slipped in the paint. The mop boys ran out and quickly cleaned the area under the basket. Now, this was the first play after a full timeout. (I damn near fell asleep during the commercials.) Those guys had all day to mop the floor--i.e. do their job--during that time. Where were they? Was this some kind of  home-cooking tactic? Were they just being ignorant and lazy? Hart chuckled while this was going on.

Yup. Wet floors, and indoor sun cost the Knicks this series.

I’m thoroughly enjoying your tears on a glass with ice while watching the recording of the game and seeing Brunson going nowhere.

Re: 2023 East Semifinals | (5) New York Knicks VS (8) Miami Heat (MIA WINS 4-2)
Had to run out for the second half and wasn't watching the first half too closely, so I will need to rewatch this one at some point...but kudos to Miami for holding on and I'll be rooting for Jimmy in the next round.  Was a tough series, that both teams will feel they were too sloppy and didn't shoot well enough, in.  Will be curious to see how these teams change over the offseason and how that might affect a rematch next spring.
Wish we were still playing, but hard not to be proud of this young team that had very little playoff experience before this season and was predicted by most to top out as a play-in team. We still lack a true title-caliber #1 and swapping Toppin for a more positional versatile 3&D guy like Pat Williams / Cam Johnson / DFS would solidify the rotation...but there's still a lot of room for internal growth from Barrett, Grimes, & Quickley; so this should be a great learning experience.
Only thing that I really would have liked to have gone differently was Randle's injury. Julius starting the postseason hobbled wasn't the reason we got bounced...we just didn't shoot well enough and we were simply too sloppy against a very well-coached veteran team...but I wish we had gotten to see how this team did when firing on all cylinders, and Randle had gotten to prove himself to the critics the way Barrett has this postseason.
Shame the rides over, but that was a ton of fun and I'm very excited for next season.
