we didn't defend well at all. even in one on one matchups we weren't locked in and then overhelped per usual

It’s interesting that we can’t seem to react to any change … Thibs planned for JT and when he left, or Brunson gets 5 fouls in a quarter, Thibs doesn’t have any plan … he’s still planning on JT … he’s still gonna wait for JB to rescue the team

That’ll probably be how he prepares for G6-7. How do we stop an offense centered around JT

We also gotta talk about Payne's minutes, too. His shooting splits are 14/0/0. What are we doing, Thibs?? He has more fouls than points!

Mikal isn’t a go to guy that you can count on every game. He’s a great role player. He’s had a very good series. But he’s not a star that can carry you.

He has been awful and killing us.

Here's a question, were the Knicks planning for Brown before this game at all? Did they watch film on the 1 Orlando game they won in Game 2 in the 1st round?

he's only out there to give Jalen a breather and not put us in a hole

Otherwise, our secondary playmakers are Josh, Deuce, and Mikal

OG played like **** tonight, but he gets a pass. I'm sick of these empty calorie stats KAT puts up. He was absolutely trash tonight. He basically took himself out the game.

KAT has been getting bailed out by brunson’s heroic games. The Knicks have a -0.28 net rating with KAT on the floor and have a positive net rating of +0.78 with KAT off the floor.

Refs let this man get away with grabbing a whole handful of frankfrooter and it all went downhill from there.

We get his role. 1-7, 0-6, 0-2 on offense out there is pathetic. If his sole role is to give JB a breather, Thibs is -- as we know it -- an absolute moron. Put Wright or Tyler or Shamet out there for the pathetic 5 minutes he's out there because that's all Payne is averaging for the series.

when has KAT become my guy?

knicks really need to make KAT in the post a focal point. He has to basically come to the ball to get half the guys attention.

Im crazier cause I think if we played better on offense we win. We can play thibs dumb defense of allowing them to spam open 3s but if we 2 of the 3(og,Kat,mikal) show up and Brunson is himself we win. Plus it cuts back on transition 3s so they get less clean looks.

First road loss in Playoffs - had to happen. Best when up 3-1. Now to put it away in MSG!

Delon Wright has length , can ball handle and is an EXCELLENT 3 pt defender. Makes perfect sense he has 0 minutes vs a team that is the best 3 ptshooting team in the NBA.

OG doesn’t get much of a pass from me … two stinkers in one big series says a lot if we are being honest

He doesn’t have the stamina or the strength to be great!

He can't even post up Holiday.

I'll never understand this...

Why are you grabbing another man's junk.

What makes it even more crazy is you're doing that on a nationally televised game.

And more importantly he should be banned from the league like jontay Porter

Hart ball watches instead of seeing his man and the ball … then he rushes to close after it is too late

I guess he is cheating for a steal or to stop the drive … but he’s also asleep and a coach, a good coach, could instruct otherwise

He was 1-1 when he did. He tried 6 other time and was blatantly ignored by Hart and the others.
