Thibs post-game after a win sounds like he's executing a genius political campaign. Wins feel so good. Friendly reminder to turn to MSG. TNT F U

maybe you guys aren't completely psycho after all

Being a fan gives you the benefit of a bird's eye view

What we see should be obvious to most coaches, but Thibs is uniquely rigid

Desperation ripped off the band-aid and we got defense off the bench that we needed all along. KAT took care of the scoring, but those minutes from Shamet and Wright turned on our defensive identity again.

Thibs gets complacent and the result is our rotation gets complacent. That jolt off the bench reawakened the defensive force we brought down on the Celtics head in Game 6.

We play defense like this and we can win the series.

We'll see now if Thibs actually learned his lesson or if one win makes him go back to his old habits

They owed us for the goaltend in game 1.

Its hard when we have kat, Brunson, and jHart to get stops.

Our offense looks better when we get stops and push

God point that helped but when they tried to get Kat on the switch guys got over screens of Kat showed and recovered. The Pistons series defense ftw.

Wright and deuce are some dawgs!

Deuce was a dog. Easy to forget Wright known for defense and the team could use some able bodies. He was huge.

brunson and KAT wont work well together for ptolonged stretches
one of them has to be the leader of the 2nd unit

surround brunson with 4 defenders and do the same for KAT

Pacers resorted to foul baiting to generate offense in 4q

Think Thibs has uncovered a major weakness to the pacers

I call balls and strikes

But all due respect to sham, Mitch should not be playing more than 15-20

Mitch only had 6 boards in 29 minutes tonight. It was odd. I feel like he missed a ton of offensive boards he should have gotten. Usually Mitch is the one overpowering opposing players.

It was their defense, they were fighting and disruptive too. I don't think McConnell hit a shot when they were in the game. Also, having more guys on the court that can dribble other than Deuce and wouldn't take a heat check 3 from 38 feet (Cam) changed everything.

He got 1 bucket on Wright then was put in hell.

I can understand Shamet not playing, but it never made sense to me that Wright didn't play after he started for us and did well. He's a vet, he plays defense and he can't shoot, this is like a Thibs player to his core.

Wright should have been playing versus Detroit and Boston.

Shamet...well I think he wasn't gonna be good versus Boston because of their size.

But these guys? They aren't that big at all no pause.

Hot take time towns has been our best player in this series

Towns +6 highest in starting lineup. In game 1 he was a +9 and every other starter was negative. Thibs screwed him in game 2. Our best 4th quarter stretches came with Brunson benched in games 1 and 3 and when they tried benching towns in the 4th in game 2 we didn’t do shittu. Change my mind

KAT Must go to the hole more and back off the logo 3's.

The way my mood is dictated by this team is so unhealthy and unhinged

But this high hits sooooo good

I love when the knicks win

Delon and Duece was helpful... really threw pacers off their offensive rhythm.

have to figure out TJ... just killing us

Post #255 » by **K_ick_God** » Mon May 26, 2025 3:17 am

That was one of the worst games I’ve ever seen a professional athlete play. Mikal. He’s now neck and neck with Thibs for biggest clown in New York

Take away his street number !

He always kills us, we haven't figured out how to stop him.

That’s not a hot take. He’s been our best player the entire playoffs.
