I'm watching the tail end of the Minny-Denver game. Am I the only one who's totally bored by it??

The KNICKS-Philly series and now the KNICKS-Indy series is exciting basketball. This one is a dud!

We only have like 7 good viable players left, there's no depth on the team

You've gotta try some Precious.

But the roster situation ain't ideal. We'll have more bodies next season if we run it back. Maybe even Rokas.

I'm 31 years old... I've been watching the Knicks for damn near my entire life. If the NBA has been rigging games for the Knicks they sure have done a chitty azz job of it since I've been alive LMAO

Bigger defender on him and go under ever screen. He doesn't want to shoot 3's. We need to adjust.

I’m preparing for us to capitalize on that fullcourt press …

I liked when OG threw long to Jalen for a full court one on one.

Hypothetical: would NYK as currently constructed stand any chance against this Wolves team with all their length and defense (and Ant)?

No way
We need someone else to beat them
I’m praying for the mavs to come out the west
If not them, then okc

We whipped the timberwolves once after the OG trade. But that was with Randle and he had 39 pts. We don’t have the same depth now. But we could still probably compete

Imo we match up better with the Wolves than Boston.

Indiana plays this way. Defense simply means less

Thibs will make the right adjustments to fix the hali-turner pnr

I want to be super clear

The way Indiana plays puts a limit on how much your defense matters. Because of how fast they push the ball up on offense. Your defense almost doesn’t matter

You have to outscore them.

That’s where there is more ways to put pressure on them

Keep laughing but we would win this series a lot more comfortably by simply playing burks.

It’s not a meme. Defense means **** bc they are gonna shoot fast before you get set anyway

ESPN has all this smoke for one close call that went our way....but when Embiid and the 76ers were pulling all their Shenanigans they were absolutely mum...

With a healthy Randle? Yes.

But the Wolves are incredibly tough....their defense is super tough. I remember the regular season game against them, it was the first game with Anunoby as a knicks. We kinda dominated them for 3,5 quarters and lead by 20+ points but in the end it got close.

Randle completely obliterated them in that game. People don't realize that with Mitch, Ihart, Precious, Randle, OG, Josh we have the toughest frontcourt in the entire league.

As for game two....Thibs needs to expand the rotation. Deuce should be playing 20 minutes no matter what.....he has earned it really. I'm not a fan of Burks at after the Bogs injury I would definitely look at giving him a couple minutes to see if he can get it going. We can't go the rest of the way with our entire bench playing 25 minutes.

Why do they always have to do this? I won't survive this playoffs.

Also, how the f+ck was Indiana gifted 3 random point? They lead by 4 after the half, came back, it was 6. Then Hart makes it to 104-104, 3 seconds later Indiana was at 105.

Also, can the Knicks trade for TJ McConnell, give him a 5-yaer-extension,and then NEVER play him again?
