PG: Out of our Misery
We've watched this team together for 100 games.
In that time, they've never...not once...won the game after the "if they just play like that again" game. I don't know why, but you could set your watch by it.
Something was off about them all year.
I hate this year's team for how bad they hurt us.
But at the same time, I love what this team gave us. They gave us an Eastern Conference Final. They gave us so many heart attacks with their comebacks and dodged bullets, and fight.
They could only hurt us because what they showed us when they were locked in was so damn good.
Changes are coming. While I don't love this team like last year's, there's no doubt I will always remember them.
May this be the worst year for this nucleus, whatever it morphs into this summer.
It's been the best for the Knicks in 25 years.

Didn't deserve that win.
Brunson with one of his 'in his head' games. Bizarre no show.

im not sure due to making the ecf. i dont hate thibs but i think the riming it right to move on and preferably to malone.
My guy...there's NO reason we should have lost to the Pacers.

Game 1 Tom idly sat and watched the knicks give up a 17 point lead in like 2 minutes in NY, with one player spamming the same shot over and over.
That set the tone for the rest of the series....
Running a net-negative lineup all season and all playoffs until the last hour???
And then this:

Those numbers are MUCH worse after this game....And You think a million TO's that lead to most of the Pacer's points are just because the Knicks players, are dumb?? Or you think Indy has the best defense in the league??? Or really it's just the unstructured offense the coach runs.....Passing was never a priority so now under pressure they aren't ready.
Also, finally using your bench only because of foul trouble just to realize you should have had them developing chemistry with the team for months...
There's so much more...but I trust the sources that said Tom is on "thin ice".

Re: PG: Out of our Misery
Did you just actually outright delete my PG message?
It was first, but you could have at least merged it. That would have been the decent move.

Re: PG: Out of our Misery
If they did fire Thibs. Isn't Malone kinda the same coach with the same problems except maybe running guys into the ground?

Something's gotta change. I don't know what, but this result was not okay.

I can't believe Brunson didn't deliver in the biggest game of the season. Run it back.

Re: PG: Out of our Misery
Furthest they’ve made it in my lifetime. They made it there in spite of Thibs, not because of him
He cost them this series. Point blank period. He needs to go
OG/Bridges/Mitch showed up to play. Hate that we went out with Brunson and KAT struggling
Getting styled on by Obi was the cherry on the sh*tty cake..

A replay of our worst tendencies this series, unexpected and should result in major changes.
