Re: PG: When The Going Gets Tough The Tough Get Going
The one uncharacteristic thing from last night was giving up several wide open shots at the rim off passes. And we weren't going small either. I guess they were just bad rotations but they gotta be cognizant of that next game. That would've been the difference in the game if things didn't go our way at the end. Only 11 minutes for Mitch but he pretty clearly isn't 100%. I still think we match up pretty well with them, and confident in our chances. LFG!

It is like a national pastime for them, to make fun of the Knicks 24/7 and treat them as a class clown. It's been 24 years of the same thoughtless nonsense.
They are panicking now because they can't accept we are actually good. They will do all sorts of malarkey to continue the tradition ranging from disrespect, crying about the refs, to creating stats that show our players are not very good.
What they are experiencing now is cognitive dissonance and it will take several years for them to get over it.
Knicks becoming relevant is a conspiracy theory
that was brillant and

I think tomorrows game will give us a better idea of how each team will play for the remainder of the series...Both teams will make adjustments...

well maybe it is sustainable, that Brunson carries us to the Finals and Hart having energy to play 48 minutes every game.
unbelievable performance once again.

We’re not losing with this good luck charm.

I was thinking about that part this morning. from the moment he touches the ball he is hounded. and then when he gets it pass hc he is doubled. it's relentless pressure with no one else on the roster to provide relief yet he is still putting up numbers that are absurd.
and I'm definitely one that is taking it for granted. he has raised the standard to the point I get annoyed when he misses.
on that note, it's really too bad randle is injured because i'd be all in on our chances if we had him right now.
Ehhh, I'm a bit more silver lining about losing Randle.
If it led to dropping in the standings and then getting easily handled out of the playoffs, then it would have me upset.
But the aftermath of Julius' injury has led to a Jalen Brunson masterclass of leadership/winning/production that has served to establish him more and more firmly around the league as the cornerstone superstar Knicks fans already accept him as.
I think that's invaluable on multiple fronts - positive media attention, officiating, and most importantly recruitment; making the Knicks a destination. I don't think this happens to the extent it has without the entire season getting suddenly heaped on his shoulders.
that's a positive outlook on it but for the teams success in these playoffs not having randle caps us. though after typing that I realized it could have capped us if he was healthy - considering the way he has played in the playoffs.

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.
Right now with a healthy Randle I favor the Knicks....based on raw talent and having someone to drape onto Edwards - (OG) . They have no answer for Randle or Brunson. ...and the thing is we still have chips to improve majorly from here.

This is not a Mitch series. We need a defender that can move and recover more

Both should play and Mitch should start... Achiuwa 8 mins at C, 8-12 others at PF (when Obi is with another big on the floor)
Strength and Honour!

Precious will now take up all of Mitch’s mins for the rest of the series. Everyone will see the impact of previous against this offense
And then we will work on Alec Burks getting playing time

So that second one (INC) incorrect no call if I’m reading correctly means they should have called an offensive foul on Turner and didn’t call one.
This is not the one that they called the illegal screen and the pacers challenged and lost this was another play

I wonder if we'll see Toppins vs. Toppins with Mitch out.

there are a thousand other scenarios in the last 5 minutes of the game where the knicks still win. the narrative about officiating is so boring. so fking boring.
