absolute choke job by the team.
And the missed FT. Towns too.

Great job JB and Thibs
It was like the Knicks didn’t even know he was on the court even till the final foul by OG

Take the next one and then split in Indy. One game at a time. This one is probably going the distance.
I wanted the knicks to come out and PLAY D as they did against Boston. Wtf is wrong with our Knicks Cap?! They keep doing this ****. Stop wasting your talents! I'm so pissed I dont know if I'll watch game 2. I'm not here for the games. Youre in the ECF
-you have a 14 point lead and you let a top 10 shooter go 6-7!?

I'm legit worried about momentum. What lead is now safe for us...we thought our game 1 vs BOS was improbable....then we follow up with game 2.
this was a worse loss then both those blown leads because of how much we were up with so little time.
How does a team score 20 pts in 3 minutes?

Dumb
But putting JB back in was iffy and we all felt it at the time
OG isn’t a good offensive player. Against the best teams in the biggest moments you want him to be a catch and shoot guy. He’s really been awful in these playoffs and he is a major reason why we lost tonight.
And we need more from Bridges. Period.
OG sucks in the paint unless he’s wide open
And Mitch did absolutely nothing to help us at the end
As much as I hate Thibs, I’m sort of happy for Obi
And frankly the team was awful against Detroit, and keeps leaving the 3 unguarded. So I didn’t honestly let myself fully believe

WTF was that man!
We choked and gave the game away.
There’s no way we let our guard down on some of these plays.
Carlisle just outcoached Thibs in every possession.
If we lose this series I don’t know what happens. We got to trade KAT for depth, but he is legit amazing. I don’t think they fire Thibs now…..
Idk this whole thing is annoying cause unlike Boston that were arrogant and on some “we lost, the Knicks didnt beat us”. The Pacers legit beat us. Ain’t no two ways about it.
We got to regroup, but man that was as rough a first game as I can remember.
If we lose this series, I think they strongly consider a coaching change and I think they look at KAT plus parts for Giannis if it’s there.

Never too high, never too low. Let's get it.

Yup it made no damn sense we could have played the fouls game but we chose hot potato instead. Awful coaching and awful player awareness. Just disgusting.

This means that in 994 instances, teams leading by that margin at that point in the game have gone on to win. The 994-0 streak was broken when the Indiana Pacers had a comeback against the New York Knicks. The Pacers came back from a 14-point deficit with 2:45 remaining, ultimately winning the game.
Anyone who doesn’t think we’re cooked, I envy your optimism.
