No sir!
you dont let them have ****! Destroy them!

Yeah, no.

We need to be realistic about the energy and health it’s going to take to win 4 vs Indy and another 4 vs whoever comes out of the West.

Let’s start training that muscle memory for close-out games because we have two more series to win after this.

Critical game tonight for legit championship aspirations. Same reason we need to dispatch Indy in 5 or 6, not 7.

MItch will continue to heat up Sham. He hasn't been 100% activated. I would say right now he's at about 83% :wink:

We saw some different things last game but they may just have been because of the circumstances. We didn't see the hack-a-Mitch strategy since the Celtics weren't close to being in the penalty when Mitch entered the game in the first quarter. Mitch didn't enter the game until the beginning of the 4th quarter so they couldn't use the strategy then but Thibs may have just stayed with the starters for the entire 3rd since the team was playing well.

We also saw more Deuce and Mitch individually or paired together with the other starters since Hart was in foul trouble. KAT played less in the 4th quarter too. I wonder if Thibs took anything from that to be used again or will he go back to his normal rotation schedule.

I think we take care of business tonight. DET and BOS helped us unlock something. Will we have stinker games the rest of the playoffs? Maybe here or there... but this team looks like it has leveled up in focus, chemistry, and belief.

With Tatum out, you just know some Boston scrub is going to have the game of his career.

It's the most irritating thing ever that corny Indiana advances while the Knicks don't, so you know what the result of the next 3 games will be.

As Kenyon Martin said 'wear black', as much as I'd like the Knicks to have a chance to finish a series with a win at home for the first time in decades, I prefer to end it now.

I couldn't tell where this was going until last night. Pacers advanced. We lose tonight and panic ensues. Maybe even fall behind in G6. That's the most Knicksiest scenario.

This is what decades of being a scarred Knicks fan looks like. Be confident. This team is a talented contending team. We'll take care of business tonight and if we fall short tonight, we'll clean things up in game 6.

We're not guaranteed a title this season, but you can be sure we're going to give 110% every game and our talent will shine most nights.
