Mitch's hook fell in and then he missed airball ... that goes in the time capsule for sure ...

It's fairly Matrix-ish that this game ended basically with a repeat of G1, celebration and all ... same plan, crashed on a hillside

Shyt I did. I thought we’d get swept.

So glad to say I was/am wrong.

No doubt.

Playoffs are a different animal than the regular season.

We've been saying all season long the Knicks have the most talented starting 5 in the east, maybe the league...but it's up to the coach to unlock the team's potential.

End of the game, Mitch moved with Tatum like the Mitch of old.

Crow eaten.

Don't tell Shams.

tbh, I never doubted. Those deer-hoves are forever.

3totheheadmelo, how are you feeling? I know you have to be conflicted with Tatum struggling this series and Randle losing game 1 to a Curry-less Warriors. That dunk from Tatum towards the end was nice tho

As someone who has become a Thibs hater, him abandoning drop coverage in general, and that in specific, has me wavering.

Still....

Boston has a somewhat more organized version of what we do, but with a lot more 3's. Just no creativity or flow

Rather than coming together and leaving it all out on the floor for one last ride, are their guys checking out?

I think Tatum, Brown, and White are the only guys you can count on staying on the team. Everyone else might be gone.

Or who knows, maybe even Brown gets traded for Giannis.



Hmm maybe, but I think our guys are just mentally tougher

I'm starting to think it's conditioning with Mitch because he's resting his hands on his knees when he can break. If so he should get better as we play more games.


Well he needs to go through the Mikal School of Minutes Indoctrination.

I sill can't believe he fouled just to get Mitch out ... seems very risky ... and a slap across KAT's face for sure

I’m disappointed they robbed OG of another poster. That was even filthier than the game 1

I'd leak a Giannis/Brown swap right now. Brown was already pissed a few years ago (when I was a big fan of his) about despite improving his game, he was always the first one to be on the trading block (with KD twice).

They were never tested in these situations. They were too timid in the late quarters. They steam rolled through all the teams last year.

Mikal literally carried on both ends wow. We were down 10 plus and we went to him and he delivered.
