Josh needs to be setting screens away from the ball to free up guys for 3P attempts and cuts to the basket. It's pointless to have him standing around when his defender is leaving him open.

Watch how Golden State plays. They don't have their non shooters standing around on the three point line like Thibs does with Josh.

This is as much of a "Must Win" game as they are going to play this season.

Get. It. Done.

Jrue is tough and I respect Pritchard and White, but we need to play big and punch first and hard to see if they can recover. Bring Hart off the bench to sustain pressure. Get a split in Boston at all costs, maybe that shakes them.

They’re also a little banged up physically. Tatum and Brown are both hurting some.

I hope Hart's teammates and Thibs tell him to stop making unnecessary risky passes. It seems like every game he does crap like that, and to beat the Celtics we need to play near perfect basketball.

Bro KP isn't even breaking into a light jog in that clip, mans is literally just walking around and disrupting the offense because he doesn't respect Hart's shooting :lol:

The entire thread is great at breaking down for people who don't know the impact Hart has on our spacing.

If there’s one thing we agree on, we def need to replace hart next season


Hart, Mikal, Mitch and all the picks save Kiyan for Giannis

Towns / Hukporti / Moses
Giannis / Achiuwa / Warren
Anunoby / Dadiet / McCullar
Grimes / McBride / Wright
Brunson / Payne / Kolek

Between Mitch, Achiuwa and OG we have 48 min coverage for Tatum

Mikal, McBride and Shamet on Brown

Hart has no business guarding their two best scorers

And I would still fear him leaving their other guys open for backdoor cuts

I don't see any other outcome. Swept in embarrassing fashion. I don't even want to watch these games. Skipped game 6 and it looks like I didn't miss anything. I know it's gonna be on the TV with my nephew and his father watching it. I'm just not sure I'm gonna be sitting next to them.

You only missed the best clutch juke sliding ball fake game winner since Michael Jordan.

Ausar Thompson still has not been seen or found anywhere since

In '04 when we went against the Nets (my first playoff series as a fully devoted Knicks fan), we did not get swept in embarrassing fashion

We lost by just 3 points in Game 3 and 6 points in Game 4

I will never forget that we had Tim Thomas performing at a peak level, but he got injured in Game 1 by Kenyon Martin

If that Knicks team can make it competitive against a dominant Nets team, then I believe in our Knicks against these Celtics!

Knicks struggled to get past a young team. Not a good look.

Great play by Brunson, bailing out Thibs sorry ass.

Not making any excuses for the rest of the game. Just pointing out that for those who did watch the ending was a treat.

Can't get any more iconic than that shot.
