Re: PG: Not fun
We gave them one to make it a gentlemans sweep. Didn't want them getting too down on themselves and blowing up the team or something this summer. It was very considerate of the Knicks.
Fire Thibs!

OG with 2 pts and 6 shots not sure what was up with him?
Hart was miserable...he showed no interst in shooting and took some crazy drives into there size to get blocked and start fast breaks.
Mikal was blah...somewhat efficient but they need to run more action for him.
Mitch was horrible.
I think we need to play more Deuce especially since he is making shots...we need to attempt more 3's.
As a guy that's been hating on Deuce, I was screaming at the TV when Thibs took Deuce out for Hart when it was down 20 with about 8 or so minutes to go.

2 PTS 2 REB 0 BLK 0 STL for him in a playoff game is disgusting.
Team doesn't execute on offense. Whose fault is it? JB? Thibs? This team didn't make their 3rd 3 until the 4th freakin' quarter, man. Like, what's going on here.
Didn’t Brunson turn it over on the first possession?

Re: PG: Not fun
Can Thibs coach a good game ?
Can the team actually hold a lead ?
Or is it another hope for a miracle 20 point comeback with the entire Boston team chocking.
Can the Knicks actually gonna go 4-0 Boston?
These are the questions
Winning home games just feels unrealistic now
Not. Good.

Start Mitch each quarter and get Kat the ball when he comes into the game. Hopefully we can hit some shots and get even officiating game 4.

Re: PG: Not fun
I don't think a single Knick had a truly good game and almost everyone had a bad game
There is a low probability that many of our guys will stink the next game just like there was a high probability the Celtics would come out ballin today
If they are going to make the most of this opportunity, then they will regroup and show up on Monday
The playoffs often have a blowout game even in close series and teams get blown out and then win series
The advantage is still for the Knicks to seize. If they want it, they'll show up on Monday. We can't motivate them. That's up to them

both sides of the ball. celtics defense took us out of rhythm, then created offense... like we were doing.

This implies the Knicks can just turn it on and off again at will
If we are being honest, Celtics just pooped the first 2 games

I think it's more we don't get clean looks. The Knicks half-court offense has been hideous this entire playoffs. I'm not even talking clutch time. Just getting into a normal action should not be this hard.

Because the offense is not structured so guys don't know when or where their shots are coming from
So finding a rhythm is hard, but defending such an aimless offense is easy.
Every offensive possession looks like trying to get an additional 20 reps in after reaching muscle failure; it's torture.

Re: PG: Not fun
we got one more chance...we have been a great road team but if we don't show up for game 4 I won't like our chances...we stole two games on the road...gotta at least protect HC and get one win before going back to BOS.
We simply need to start better...I don't know whats going to do it...it probably just has to be Brunson locked in from the jump. He can't just wait until the 4th to turn into superman...need him from the jump especially to get the crowd involved and put some pressure on the celtics early.
Can't just be chasing 15 pts before the 1st qtr ends.

Re: PG: Not fun
All series our strategy has been giving them uncontested shots and pray. First 2 games it worked... not this time. We are one of the worst 3 point defenders and they are one of the best. And this game shows.
