PG: Saved By The KAT

[HarthorneWingo]

So this win puts pressure on the Pacers and gives us confidence. It also convinces This that he made the right decision in benching Payne in favor of Delon and Deuce. No more Cam this series. I would also stick with Mitch in the starting lineup.

The Knicks fans are loud as hell on TNT right now lmfao.

Yelling Knicks in six lol.

[Separatista]

Knicks players play better away from home anyway.
Getting game 4 can be done. Game 5 is where it’s at.

[Enzo954]

Knicks were 0-9 in that building in the playoffs until tonight's win.

I want to bring up an issue with Mikal... fck is wrong with him? He just do not want any contact.

He's a frail, thin, finesse type player. Probably why he's never missed a game. He completely avoids contact in the paint.

For Mikal to take the next step, he has to learn how to draw contact. You’d think Brunson could have taught him a trick or two. I would let that go if he would hit his 3s at 40%. He’s got to do better there.

The fire Thibs crowd loooking super suspect.

To be fair, Thibs allowed the Knicks go down 20 again, without doing anything to stop the Pacers run, no timeouts, nothing.

Stood around looking subway crazy. His big ‘move’ was JB getting 5 and KAT thus taking over.

Knicks just have to make the Pacers play a half court game, stop letting them run up and down so fast.

[ScienceOfLosing]

+12 without Brunson on the floor tonight. Play the bench more and cut out the hero ISO ball.

They are making a living on attacking Brunson (and Kat).
Stagger. We can do this.
Creativity Thibs…

Really would like to see more Deuce and Shamet if someone is having an off game

Maybe we are all idiots and Thibs just employs a basketball version of Muhammed Ali's "Rope a Dope" strategy...

Nah, he's the Dope.

it's funny seeing thibs doing stuff that folks on rgm have been begging him to do for months/years/decades (perhaps out of spite?) and it worked and now we've completely reversed the momentum in the series

maybe you guys aren't completely psycho after all

And what's the most surprising? Thibs go from not doing any of those to throwing all the Pokemons within ONE game.

Could some of the Knicks staff have realgm account or even one of us?

[KnixinSix]

This IS FINALLY the type of rotation we were waiting for from Thibs. No Brunson and KAT together unless Mitch was in. DELON and Shamet over Payne. Finally, finally, finally some smarter rotations and player utilization based on the matchup.

[Strick]

This drink got me thinking and talking a little recklessly right now. We are better on the road. We are going to inch this series out and likely face the OKC Thunder where we’ll be on the road the majority of the series.

One step at a time. Won this one with probably the worst game I’ve ever seen Brunson play

Let’s go Knicks. Win game 4. S/O to y’all, S/O the bench mob, S/O to KAT, S/O the NY MF KNICKS

[Worst_to_First]

What KAT did ignited the whole team

And to be honest, and no hate at JB, but if he doesn’t leave the game, I don’t think it happens

Thibs really needs to go, don’t care about the results anymore

Thibs showed blatant favoritism by benching KAT in Game 2. If he did the same for JB in Game 1, we would have been up 2-1.

But what is done is done. It is just ironic that the guy whom Thibs hung out to dry two days ago was the very one who saved him today. KAT put the team on his shoulders while Deuce, Delon and Landry helped push him up the stairs.

It is sad to think that this may be too late. Carlisle is too smart to lose consecutive games to an inferior coach. Quite unfortunate as I think Delon and Landry would have helped us in the Finals, especially against OKC.

9 guys over 10 minutes. Mitch in earlier in the quarters so no hack a Mitch. KAT played more with the defensive guys and Deuce. The hope is run similar smart rotations next game and the chemistry will be even better.

Maybe we request to move game 5 to Indy

Or Boston
