Exactly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Brian Windhorst is an absolute tool for the way he tried to dismiss what the Knicks did. That game was over regardless of what happened.

Great game. Didn't watch it live because I was changing the cat litter, but saw every second later and the things they did tonight brought joy.

Peep the difference in the screens Brunson gets from Mitch Vs Kat, Josh and others. He really gets Brunson free, it was key to get him cooking. Loved the double big lineup, Duece in the game late....great navigating of the rotation by Thibs on defense. Active subbing...he's finally doing it on the regular, no more templates. Nice.

The offense goes as Brunson goes...he's our system on that end....so I'll continue to pray for his health. Tonight we saw how unpredictable that can be, one single step and everything can change. The way he was writhing in pain, felt bad for the kid.

Image

What a man.


Thibs has shown that he knows he needs to adjust. He's just been very stubborn with it. It's usually injuries and foul trouble that force his hand but, when he does things we've all been begging him to do and it works out after 82 games it's fun to watch.

This team plays better defense switching and they need everyone involved on offense. Save the hero ball from Capt clutch until the end. We will win more games that way.

One more win and something almost everyone thought impossible, will happen. Knicks ECF or bust was my opinion to start the season. By Christmas time I felt like we were legit contenders.

7 down 9 to go!! Let's **** do this!!! Do it for Clyde!!!

Drop coverage should be rarely played. Thibs needs to have learned his lesson by now. Also the lineups that include Duece and/or Mitch in them have been a huge + net rating throughout this series. Playing Mitch earlier in quarters was a huge move by Thibs. Also didnt allow Boston to put him on the FT line so quickley.

What, no one remembers the Billups crafty footwork, finishing with either hand off either foot, the one legged fadeaway stepbacks, or Billups well known defensive issues?

Brunson is a literal carbon copy! :D

Hopefully Timberwolves because we have the scouting reports on Julius Randle and Donte Divincenzo. We know their tendencies better than anyone.


On the other side, wouldn't that mean the Timberwolves also know KAT's tendencies better than anyone?

Time for everyone to give the Knicks medical staff its flowers for the conservative plan of action they took for Mitch’s return, not wilting due to fan or media pressure.

Holding him back as long as possible to ensure there’d be no setbacks and to prep him for a long playoff run was the right call in hindsight.

Most wanted Mitch ran out of town or traded for essentially nothing.

Don't know if anyone watching the broadcast picked up on it but there was a point right after the half, I think, where the camera focused on Brunson on the bench during a timeout but you could see PJ Tucker was ANIMATED yelling at the guys on the bench. Knicks went on a run right after...

I know we've gotten drips and drabs about how PJ has helped behind the scenes but, I don't think that acquisition gets brought up enough. This specific version of the team was missing that kind of OG (pun intended) who has been there before, knows what the required intensity and focus needs to be to win in the playoffs and can be the guy that the players listen to when you maybe don't wanna hear it from Thibs. It's the kind of stuff that analytics and stat sheets just do not account for that make good teams great.

Have to wonder if he deserves some credit for the "dawgness" Mikal has been playing with.

Objective criticism of this roster on a personal level would be they don't really have "feisty" guys. Not that it's absolutely needed, not all teams do. But I do think it helps to have a "rally the troops" kind of guy especially if the coach isn't doing it.

Brunson is averaging 30 PPG in the post season. Let’s not take that for granted. Unreal superstar.
