[Knick4Real]

Bad turnover

[Ma10]

That divo 3 would have been nice

[adjacent2bench]

Needed that 3 from Divo.

[shmeakone]

These guys are a bunch of chokers, you can smell it in the air.

[Deeeez Knicks]

How is that on OG? Challenge that

[mpharris36]

no clue why thibs brought back DD after sitting so long and cold

just leave duece out there he was making his 3's and is the better defender

Look this series is a toss-up. But who cares....the knicks aren't going anywhere regardless and have zero chance to go to the finals. Whether they win this meaningless series or not.
So that said.....exactly what is the plan? Is the plan to assemble a bunch of 'try-hards' so that the garden can feel good about the grit and hustle of the team??
Hartenstein is a nice player to root for in spot minutes as the 'hustle guy' when you have a couple 1a stars and then really talented pieces after that filling out the main core. When guys like hartenstein are playing 20+ minutes, it's not so nice because that's a team that isn't going anywhere.
Then you have the ultimate 'try-hard' 6'2 guard who can't raise his game in the playoffs because he gives 100% effort in the regular season. Brunson would be a nice contributor as a microwave type scorer playing 20-23 minutes off the bench to come in and give second unit a spark. As the team's 'star' well......thats a team whose ceiling in the playoffs is lower than the ears of a kid with 47 chromosomes.

So one more time....this series aside(and who knows how it goes.....we sure as hell know how a potential series with boston against these try-hards would go)

But look at that hustle! Hartenstein and Hart never give up on a play!! Brunson is a fighter! All these villanova try-hards play so good together!

All that and a dollar fifty will buy a pack of bubbalicious. It sure as hell won't get an nba title though. So what is the point?

sham on his burner

[Kidknick!]

That was dumb. Brunson has to look to pass, OG was WIDE OPEN.

[Guano]

That divo 3 would have been nice

We can't have nice things tonight

[Deeeez Knicks]

Moving screen / flop

[TKKnicks1]

That divo 3 would have been nice

Would have made it a 5 pt game.

[Zenzibar]

I kinda expected a loss tonight

And I'm still pissed off

We just just need 2 minutes of the Knicks toughest defense, then score every time down and we can get this.

[Knicks Byke]

thats not a flop?

[god shammgod]

mentally i'm already thinking about game 4. day game. probably no mitch. not great.

[Loaded_Hollows]

Still can’t believe thibs didn’t challenge the fake embiid 3 foul

[NoDopeOnSundays]

Stop quoting the brain damaged nets fan

It's probably Karate Diop on an alt account.

[Monk1718]

Who’s mans is this?

[Fury]

The Knicks need to double Embiid more often with OG as the prime defender or the help guy, doesn’t matter

[Kidknick!]

Go small man, nobody on the Sissies other than Maxey gonna drive.

[Bob Ross]

Not looking good but you figure the sixers would get one at home especially after crying in the media so much. Embiid injuring Robinson is unacceptable though. Be nice to see a retaliation hit
