we're really spoiled with breen and clyde (or clyde and anyone when breen is busy).

before anyone questions me, I don't have cable and have to watch streams. couldn't find any MSG streams.

Breen and Clyde were on their A-game too

Standing ovation with let’s go Knicks chants as the seconds ticked down

Good to hear.

As long as we don’t resign the mercenaries (except Rose) and play the kids and 2021 kids next year, then this season was a success

The Knicks really played only one good half of basketball in this 5-game series.

We were outmatched, out-talented, and outcoached. It was never close.

Also put some respect on McMillan's name.

we were up by 7 and up going into the 4th in game 1 and we choked at the end. games 1 and 2 were the only close games. then there were 3 blowouts. not sure what changed.

That's what makes it disappointing. We just got crushed.

That's too much for Dame, we're talking about the 2021 MIP here.

What resonated with me this game was:

Tom talking during 1st (?) quarter timeout huddle - "make quick decisions on the ball, keep the ball moving go go go!"

Then Randle holds the ball at top of the key and isos...

Thibs certainly far from perfect or great, but he aint winning when players dont listen to what he says.

They attempted an ovation, but were silenced by a deep 3 by Trae Young, who took a bow afterwards lol

People keep saying this, but we've only tanked like twice since our last playoff appearance

Trying to win and failing is not tanking. We only tanked to get KP and RJ, who have been by far our best draft picks

Our situation should show that tanking is a much better strategy than aiming for 30-something wins a year.

All tanking does is get the stink of losing all over your young players till they accept that ****. The morey method is over-rated

Rose got tired and couldn't make up for Randle and RJ being a complete no shows anymore.

They don’t see it.

Straight up acting like a title contender just choked. We spun straw into gold. Disappointing end, but I can’t be mad at this group. Quite proud actually.

These dudes were just waiting for us to lose, so they can say they were right in spite of the whole season before this.

‘I knew we should’ve tanked’ is their rallying call.

If he wants out his price is cheaper, plus maybe out of respect Blazers send him where he wants.

List them. Not bad teams who tried to be good and failed miserably. List the teams tanking for years

TimberWolves, Kings, Pelicans, Cavs just to name a few. Then more just now approaching mediocrity. Like the Knicks. We took a step forward this season and some fans still complaining

Wolves and Pels absolutely have a brighter future than us. Let's not even mention the Hawks, Mavs, or any other team that has drafted high in the past few years and now has legit game changing talent.

Who do you think will walk through that door to rescue the team in a trade or FA?

A step forward to what? Let's talk next year when the Knicks are committed to Julius on an extension as well as Bullock and god knows what other overpaid signing... and fighting for a play-in spot.

Talent wise yes but the wolves FO is trash and the players don’t care about winning, the Pelicans are so badly built.

Right? OKC drafted 3 MVPs back-to-back-to-back and still didn’t win sh*t. If that doesn’t prove tanking doesn’t work I don’t know what will

Hell lakers drafted 2 three years in a row and werent **** till lebron got there and demanded they trade for davis.

They were only able to make that trade because they had a bunch of young talent in place via the draft. I would like to add, a lot of you geniuses want to sign one of those young players from that trade to an absurd offer sheet this summer.
