PG: Knicks lose again to Cavs

Crazy how a 50 win team feels so damn hopeless.

I have not enjoyed the second half of this season. There are expectations and not only are they not meeting it, they’re embarrassing themselves and have played like a bunch of heartless pussies.

If this team wins round 1 in 6 games and lose round 2 in 5 games I’ll consider the season a wash.

To end of game execution...still don't know how to defense a simple ball screen where we give up open 3 after open 3.

and then on offense...its just brunson dribble the ball for 20 seconds and take a difficult shot.

He should have never put the starters back in the game, they were checked out in that 3rd quarter, seemed like he wanted to match the Cavs putting their starters back in.

i understand yall need someone to blame but thibs has this squad overachieving. i know accepting that means accepting the squad aint good enough and thats tougher to fix.

It's been most of the season. He was hell bent last year and was damn near unstoppable regardless of who you put on him. Now he is playing timid to use his arsenal of moves.

What season you been watching lol, the leader in Clutch points hasn’t been unstoppable this year

The last 2 minutes doesn't equate to the first 46. I am telling you, go back and watch him play last season. It's different.

I'm ok with that.

I wonder if the players are still defending Thibs at this point... "we're competitors, we wanna keep playing, we don't wanna be taken out"

You're looking tired as **** you dumbasses not so fresh when it matters most now lol

They're looking like they're too confused to think as to why they kept losing and it's much easier to resign and accept things as they are

yea it was just like the pistons game earlier in the year where they ran the same exact action 2 or 3 plays in a row and got wide open 3 every time to beasley

team is desperate to avoid brunson having to switch - let him get cooked and give up a 2 instead of a wide open 3 but that is thibs philosophy. he will rather give up a wide open 3 that a contested 2 in the mid range against an outmatched defender.

They aren’t getting out of round 1

I would’ve been fine with the loss if Thibs didn’t bring any of the regular rotation guys back in when it was clear that Indiana was going to lose.

You know the drill

Trade Brunson to dump bad contracts

lets even say that is philosphy...just avoid brunson on ball....then how does the team not know where to rotate.

The defensive scheme simply can't be one pass away open 3...either someone has to rotate and then they have to scramble to get to another guy....but that can't be the defense, can it?

Because at that point you are better off just brusnon on ball and forcing them to take a shot over him.

Guy's offense forces everyone on the court to create their own shot in isolations. Fourth quarter comes around and he's wondering why his players are running on fumes.

End of the season and still don't have an identity. Usually before the playoffs the question is how do we play "our game" against the opponent but we don't have "our game". It's painful to watch.
