They talked a lot of sh*t during game 4 and paid the price.

Haliburton is so f*cked on Friday. They're going to attack him non stop

Never have I once saw a draft that devastated certain Knicks fans like the 2020 draft. You'd think that Haliburton was a prime Magic Johnson and Stephen Curry was Elfrid Payton if you compare the two different reactions from these particular Knicks fans after their team failed to draft each player.

I don't think enough credit has been given to Thibs and Deuce. Thibs for starting him and Deuce for sticking closer to haliburton than a pair of too tight yoga pants. And oh btw... we really need to keep iHart

I just watched the TNT after game comments and Kenny Smith was saying Thibs played a different 7, he didn't play the same guys...I'm thinking...who? who the eff is Thibs playing that is different? It's the same guys, it's the only guys he has...what a freaking dumbass.

He’s trying to be right about his talking point that everyone is tired that he made up a new reality. Gotta hand it to him. People do that tactic here too but this is just an anonymous message board and we are having fun, he’s on live tv with a straight face being a bozo

Because of COVID basketball ended and we had nothing to talk about other than the 2020 draft for 8 months

We need 3 things to happen:

1) Brunson doesn’t have a bad game;
2) Control the glass;
3) Make >12 threes.

That and the refs resist smalltown bias.

Brunsons good game was not only a product of his ability but a product of Deuce in the line-up Cgmw :D

I believe that too. Still, as a general rule this franchise is always one bad Brunson game away from oblivion.

I thought Thibs mixed up the rotation. Hart, DiVo and JB were all being subbed out at different times.

Hart shooting the open 3's instead of forcing turnovers really flipped the moment in the first quarter. After that, we played some really good defense.

Stan Van Gundy made a good point too that iHart wasn't slipping on the screens. That gave JB that extra second he needed to cook.

He mixed up the starting lineup and substitution pattern but ultimately the players were still the same 7 players

C'mon Knicks had games where the 2 subs had a combined of 3 minutes of gameplay. The minutes are more balanced, rotations are different, starting five was different. Yes it was a different 7.


On another note someone should tell J.Hart to stop hesitating and then shoot, either shoot or don't. Dude made such big buckets and still so low on confidence on his shot. Someone needs to tell him its ok to brick shots, cause at one point the other team will let him wide open and he will make the dagger like he already did.

Even if we lose the series he would likely end up 2nd to Ewing and if we make the conference finals he will pass him easily in way fewer games

Might be time to seriously start asking if he’s the best player in Knicks history

So you are talking about the few mins of garbage time as the 'different guys' and that's what Kenny is referring to? That's as dumbass as the original comment.

The rotations may be different but he said different guys...what other guys? It's the same 7 guys, there are no other guys. Holy crap that's such rubbish.

Exactly...it's the same 7 players, that's all the guys he has.
