Re: PG: Knicks vs Indy: Game 1 ECF
Another thing, why does Thibs refuse to call timeouts to break the other team’s momentum when they go on a run?

KAT was 11-17. Can't ignore him for long stretches just b/c we have a clutch closer. IND still moved the ball

Also Thibs ain't call a timeout or sub Miles - the man leading scoring runs - back in.

Welp...now the young fans can relate. Back to no expectations for this team, maybe they surprise us, maybe they don't. Need more discipline and structure. Just hope they bottle this epic disappointment and turn it into something productive.

This one was all on the players who choked away that big lead.

Worst Knick loss of my fandom. Don’t even wanna basketball after this.

You think the offense was the problem when they allowed Nesmith to walk into 4 straight wide open threes? I can’t take some of you guys seriously.

Why were they jacking up shots with 14-16 seconds left on the shot clock when youre up by 15 with 2:35 left? If youre thibs dont ya wanna run down the clock on every offensive posession by that point?

Game is on Thibs. The defensive lineup was killing the Pacers and Thibs went away from Deuce and Mitch

This is the worst feeling in the world. Haven’t felt this way since I was a kid when Reggie scored 8 in 16 seconds.
The trauma and tradition of choking continues.

Re: PG: Knicks vs Indy: Game 1 ECF
We looked really dum at the end of regulation playing hot potato. Brunson could have just held the ball and got fouled and hit free throws but no we had to pass it around to og who went 1-2. Terrible coaching in critical situations and it only got worse in overtime. Thibs needs to coach less from his gut and more from his **** brain if he has one.

OG Anunoby was awful tonight. Invisible on defense. Missed FT down the stretch. Fumbling the ball with 30 seconds left. OG has been awful since game 1 in Boston. He was awful tonight.
Bridges wasn’t much better.

That missed goaltend was sickening. Why we didn't foul when they literally had to shoot 3's for 3 minutes straight, only Thibs knows. Feelsbadman.
