They mentioned they went last 48hrs focusing on defense. Brunson said they felt so connected. If Knicks bring it like this on defense the offense going to go.


there best offense is Hart or KAT clearing defensive rebounds and pushing the pace before the defense sets.

There is a correlation between the knicsk good defense and the amount of 3's they get up. They took more 3's than the celtics tonight. That is huge. Evne though KAT and OG missed a lot of makeable 3's...I am just glad to see the volume.

wanted to log back in a shout out Mitchell Robinson. He was absolutely incredible and a game changer this series. There were lots of people that lot a rim running big couldn't beat the celtics but here we are with him being the best player in series.

Fred Katz asked Thibs about the switching on defense in the series at the end of his postgame interview.

He gave a relatively interesting answer, for those who were interested in discussing the defensive schemes ahead of the series.

Genuinely happy for Thibs… as mad as he makes me, gotta respect his love for this team, franchise and the game.

Wish we played like this every night

We blew out teams when we played this way in the regular season. Almost unstoppable when we share the ball and our top 6 guys play well. Towns mentioned the team wanted to get him going. Has to be talked about how the team flows way better when Towns is featured. Inside out just opens up so much for the team.

An underrated aspect of this series is that we didn’t do anything that is unsustainable or cannot be repeated. Moreover, we should be able to improve at quite a few things that have come to the surface over the last few weeks.

Yeah yeah ok.... And let me ask did you think in January/February that the Knicks would beat the Celtics in a playoff series? Seriously...

FOH.

Y'all are sick in the head. Knicks and the coach earned this. Went into Boston and won 2 road games and had those guys flummoxed...

And I was down on Thibs going into Detroit BTW.

Totally earned his keep this series. Outside of game 5 he was flawless IMO.

In hindsight that smirk Brunson did in game 5 after he fouled on and got booed by us Celtics fans at TD Garden was a sign he wasn't going to drop game 6 and the series.

He is the Broadway Messiah!

I cannot how much of an Alpha he is, especially in the playoffs.

Jalen DAMN-Son indeed.

Still you must not take Indy lightly, especially Myles Turner who is having an extraordinary good playoff run. Shutting him down (more than Haliburton) is the key for the Knicks to advance IMHO

If anyone here is lucky enough to attend game 1 of the ECFs at the MSG, would love to see photos or clips of the crowd before tip off.

I know I should be bitter/rooting against the Knicks but your team and fanbase here on RealGM is so damn likable lol
