Knicks · Playoff Game #4 Thread: Knicks at Atlanta, 1pm ABC (page 15)

The miracle was making the playoffs. We aren’t definitely in this league.

Huerter with a dirty play.

That was a purposeful play with intent to injure. That was garbage.

Me neither. Not at all

Thibs hasn't been stellar but McMillan simply has more bullets in his revolver.

A coach should make the most out of his roster. Actually that’s what impressed about him this season, so it’s like the magic dust ran out and we are back to being the rotten pumpkin.

I'm inclined to give Thibs a pass because he has so many limitations on his personnel. He has to walk a tightrope and if anything goes wrong (like Julius and RJ disappearing) he and his team are screwed.

This series is over. I am hoping the team can muster up 1 decent game so the home fans can have something to cheer for next game.

Getting blown out now. This one is over.

Exactly.

No we needed 40 minutes of Rose and Bullock

Coaching is trash, empty the bench

Series over.

We actually never arrived, save for a quarter in game 2.

Game series done. this is over you guys can quote me on that

Switch out Bogdanovich for Randle and we would be better overall... Our offense would run more smoothly. While Bogs is streaky he would open up the floor as you can't leave him at the 3 pt line. Plus RJ would have more room/spacing and Toppin could play. We would certainly play at a faster pace and have less ISO ball. It could be addition by subtraction somewhat.

The frustrating part is that we keep trying the same things with the same results. I know Thibs has a reputation for being stubborn and loyal - but how do you not give Frank some minutes when you keep getting squashed. He is considered a solid to very good defensive guard. Yes Trae is super quick, but can we name any other Knick in the last 5 years that locked up a ball dominant guard (eg Frank vs Luka)? Totally different players and sizes but not worth a try?

Game over. This Atlanta team has too many dynamic players who can pass, shoot, and create at the rim and they have been out in full force all series. We need guys like Burks Bullock and Quicks to match but they are simply not on that level along with our best players struggling. Partially to the fault of our lackluster offense, but mostly because they just arn't good enough. We all kind of knew this but there is much room for improvement.

Why is Rose in this quarter?

Lunacy.

Toppin and IQ passing up shots, I'm thinking they been told not to

Lolol. Thibs ridding the man. No one else is stepping up
