PG - this is the opposite of fun

[kNicksGmen]

That foul on Mitch when Tobias jumped into him and pushed him into Duran… how did we not challenge!?

We waited like 90sec of game play to call a timeout to get Brunson back in… WTF!?


All thibs does is the Duante Culpepper roll with his arms…. I’ve never seen him call a play

How was there so much confusion on that last substitution? Obviously Mitch and KAT should be in since we need an oreb…

Thibs man, thank you for helping turn this around but we’ll take it from here

That was the 2nd play thibs should have challenged. The other was Harris elbowing Kat. Both plays take points off the board and give you possession.

No idea what he didn't challenge either.

There was one or 2 earlier too but it was early in the game so whatever.

The Pistons really should have won the series if you stop and think about it, they have been the better team in 4 of the games.

Nah.

11 missed free throws

Ok so this series has been the most competitive of any first round series. All games decided by less than 6 I believe. Think about that. This is the Fn Pistons and we have two all stars and apparently two of the best defensive wings in the game and we can't separate our talent vs the Fn Detroit Pistons. So who is to blame here? You don't even have to answer... Just think about it...

It is not that Deuce missed the FT is my worry, but how he shot it. Guy looked legit terrified when he attempted that first FT.

He's quite frankly the worse 6th Man this team has ever fielded out there in their playoff history. I'm not even trying to be funny. Can't think of a single team from 90's, 2000's, and Melo era that had a worse 6th Man.

He is an off-ball 3 and D player. I have no idea why he handles the ball as much as he does. The offense would fall apart last year when Deuce played without Brunson last year.

Mind boggling to me. Just dribbles left to right when he's trying to set up the offense on an already bone headed offensive playbook.

[Capn'O]

you can't lose a game where the pistons shoot shoot under 28% from 3 on the road....you can't loose a game like that.

[kNicksGmen]

That one non call on the goaltend was a 4 point swing. Rough break on that one.

[NoDopeOnSundays]

I know we ignore KAT a lot on offense but at some point KAT has to get his ass low and on the block, curse every teammate out that doesn’t get him the ball.

The low block is congested, there's always weakside help coming. The point of putting a big on Hart is so that he can help off Hart and contest shots at the rim. You don't win in the NBA anymore just dumping the ball into the low block, if you are going to play through the post you win by getting someone in a mismatch in the post with the opposing big guarding someone outside. Duren is ALWAYS near the rim when Hart is on the floor, because that's the best way to defend us, and we have never been able to adjust to that type of defense.

I’m so tired of thibs
It’s never an adjustment
No challenges
No play call
It’s relying on Brunson to go god mode every game

Losing the series is the best thing for us to fire thibs

[Adelheid]

thibs coaching a masterpiece my ass

[Wildcat]

11 missed free throws

Yep, that hurts, too. 4 from Mitch, which you can live with, but McBricks looking like a deer in the headlights is probably the worse of them all.

[Jalen Bluntson]

Feels bad

And now we have to worry about Brunson in game 6. His ankle isn't right.

I ain't worried about shyt. Season is over. Not wasting my positive energy on this BS until we get a new HC. Best thing that could happen is Jalen misses the rest of the series and we lose the next two games. That's what I'm rooting for. If Thibs is back next year I won't be. The juice ain't worth the squeeze.

I can't fck with that.

I only root against the team for draft position. In the playoffs. HELL NO. I want this series win. And then Brunson goes nuclear against meLo's Cs and.... ill stop there. For now.

I usually wouldn't be like this but, I'm fuggin done. Anything that will increase the chances of Thibs not being here next year is i am rooting for. We aren't coming close to one win against Boston. Don't set yourself up like that.

[NoDopeOnSundays]

no

We've needed 3 different 4th quarter comebacks against them. So, yes.

If you went through and checked the quarters I'm sure they've won more quarters than us, we just beat them in the 4th because of experience, except tonight.

Well we've won more games so hows the math mathing.

sham is right, I hope your compound is raided by the ATF tomorrow.

I'm done with Thibs, too, but he does challenge and he does win. I think he's like top 5 or something in winning challenges.

Not that it manners. I'm sick of his "offensive playbook".

Nah.

We have been trailing in the series 4 of 5 games.

We made comebacks in 3 of them.

The Knicks have inspired zero confidence at all this entire series. They look exactly the same as they have all season - lame and soft.

We needed the Cam Payne game of his life and a 21-0 run to save game 1. DET choked both crunch times at home. Beasley can’t throw the ball in the ocean.

It’s a lot closer than ppl want to admit

You can book those flights now. I would.

welp and to top it off, it looks like Boston is about to close it out.

People blaming Thibs for the team being soft and boring
