PG: Awful gameplan, not prepared, not 1 good performance

[iLLSonChandla]

Maybe we'll get back to the ECF 25 years from now

[Capn'O]

Sadly, the difference in his game came down to Hart and OG bricks. I'm not about to blame the refs after the Knicks hit the line 38 times. Poor poor execution.

It definitely was not the officiating.

Hart, OG, Mikal bricks ....and turnovers.

Thibs going with Hart and Mikal too much when the bench guys like Wright and Shamet were bringing defensive intensity and team ball and had us grooving.

Thibs did the exact opposite of what worked so well the last game.

Literally the first half of this one too.

You know what the worst part is for me?

Realizing Brunson isn't the seemingly perfect player who would always make the right play and never let us lose big games

He seemed when he first came here he could do no wrong, and I don't mean that in a rose tinted glasses kinda way, I mean it literally, like when he first got here he just always seemed to come up big at the most important times, or if he didn't we always had some way to logically excuse him for it

But now? I really don't know man, he's my favorite Knick of the last 20+ years, he took a huge pay cut, etc but man.. we've routinely **** the bed against teams we could/should beat or there's an opportunity to come up big and we never capitalize on the series.

Started with the Heat series years ago, then last year I know injuries but still we had a shot and blew it, now this year, Pacers are not more talented on paper, they have B level stars, we have 2 A level starts IMO, yet we come up short again.

I'm sad because I had such assurance in my mind that Brunson would lead us to the promise land if we gave him a talented roster around him, but once again he comes up short as the leader and loses to a clown like Haliburton.

It's just disappointing man, I want to believe in him but year after year I'm realizing he is a normal player with flaws and stuff, I thought his life long of growing up with basketball and how level headed he is would assure us he would always come up big and never let stuff like this happen to the team, but he doesn't prevent it, it keeps happening now every year ends up disappointment and feeling like "we should have beaten that team they weren't better than us" it's never "damn that team just was so much better than us that we lost" were losing series we should win.

He needs a coach that will hold him accountable and channel his aggression in scoring into setting up his teammates better.

Maybe he will find that coach during his time in Milwaukee. Meanwhile we can hire Jason Kidd. He can’t play defense his defense is too bad to win a title he was a -16

[whocares1]

switched vs BOS

don't switch vs Indy

gotta love it.

Different situation completely.

[Garbagelo]

Thibs is a stepping stone to the coach that will deliver us a finals

we arent going any further

its not about who we face, its the type of game you must play to make it to the top

he is not in that league

[knickabocker88]

The only positives I take away from tonight is that Boston is still finished, and the Pacers could lose Turner in free agency. But, the Thunder are like 2 years out of HS, shockingly young, so that team isn't going anywhere.

Turner isnt even a good player for them.

Watch them get Randle next year and win the title.

[H_20]

I dont understand how the knicks can beat the defending champions in 6 with miraculous comebacks only to lose to the goddamm pacers. This is the false hope that I can't stand.

[Clyde_Style]

This cat's nine lives are almost used up

Tonight was their Game 7 and they flopped

This is not a club with the ability to win a series down 3-1

I said Never Say Never knowing a win tonight would reset the table, but the die has been cast and their fate foretold

Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

[dakomish23]

KAT 3 FGA in the make or break quarter for us

No excuses

[F N 11]

I don't care what the stats say... Josh was horrible.

He gets to go home and play MLb the show. Dude been getting blown by entire playoffs.

[nyknicks09]

Does OG + Mikal get us Giannis?

Plus McBride.

They can give us Gary Trent Jr.

[LFGK]

Why is bridges taken these 3's down the stretch? just end this sh*t in 5 so we don't have to go through the nonsense game 6

[WaltFrazier]

If we insert Wright in the SL so Mitch goes back to the bench, we’ll improve our chances in game 5. Delon can slow Hali down better than Bridges and Hali is the head of the snake. It lets Bridges focus on off ball help defense where he’s better. And it allows Mitch to get back to his ideal role off the bench as an energizer big. What say you?

Thibs won’t do it, however.

Worth a try but won't happen. And it leaves JB and Kat to be hunted still

[F N 11]

KAT 3 FGA in the make or break quarter for us

No excuses

They read the game and it said Mikal is open.

[Besart19]

Towns / Robinson
Achiuwa / Hart
Anunoby / Mikal
Wright / Shamet
Brunson / McBride

Tyron Lue would have done that

[JXL]

It's obvious from anyone watching his career to this point:

Thibs is a good coach, he's a floor raiser, but he's not a ceiling breaker. Leon and WWW need to find that coach who can extract the championship DNA from this roster, with tweaks.

[iLLSonChandla]

We make Haliburton look like the best player in the NBA

[NoDopeOnSundays]

Turner is a shotblocking C that can make threes, those are hard to find. They have 5 out when he's on the floor.

OKC could **** around and trade for Giannis too.
