We did not attack Butler after the injury therefore we deserve to lose
Really dumb to keep the starters in when the game is out of reach...
Inviting injury...

If we increase our 3 point shooting we are a diff team. Mitch needs to learn to shoot free throws. I have said it for 3 years now
Yup hope IQ gets more burn. Brunson is having to work harder for his pts. IQ/Grimes will make the Heat work harder.
Thibs out coached today.
Unbelievable that they didn’t go after Butler.
Brunson was very mediocre today, didn’t get the ball moving. It happens.
This was going to be a tough one to win. But, we need to find a way to get Mitch some opportunities. 3 shots is not acceptable when he ripping 14rbs
This game really sucked. I don't see a single positive. No in game adjustments, not even after Butler injury. We could have targeted him and took him out if the series. That would have been prudent. I don't wish injury on anyone but for us not to try to take advantage of it was criminal
Good thing about being a 52 year old intelligent fan, it's fun when they win and painless when they lose. On to the next gane

Thibs has improved on game to game adjustments but his in game adjustments are still trash. Spo will have an advantage there all day. Spo dont even need to adjust anything. Juts take away anything that is not shooting 3's and win the game. Heat are treating us like we treated the Cavs.

They fouled him all game and he $ucks donkey at the line. He brought the ball down after rebounds and the Heat stripped him of the ball. They have no shot blocking yet we ran 0, zip , nada plays for cutters inside. Not good. Honestly I don't see Thibs winning a championship. Maybe if he had an Allan Iverson. Maybe Brunson becomes that.
YUCK - that leaves an awful taste.
Will leave it at that.

Our offense the whole playoffs are ISOs. Its either for Brunson or Randle. I been wanting those same movement plays we had when both stars sat out but that will never happen. So we have to hope Brunson gets shot.
Miami is a much better rebounding team than Cleveland. We need Julius back. I feel like the Knicks can still win this with Julius.
Outside of Obi Knicks shot 3-23 on 3s. Knicks missed 8 free throws. Pretty solid defense all gamen. I think Knicks can still win it.
Knicks just need to figure out how to make threes in the playoffs.
I don't want to win it all this year. I don't think we can either. What I DO want is for us to grow from an excellent learning opportunity. We can still accomplish that goal.
This is the difference between an inexperienced team and a seasoned veteran team. cHeat are just better defensively, have better three point shooting and just have better in-game adjustments and counters.
Kind of knew we were in big trouble when I saw that POS Tony Brothers was the zebra. This idiot has had it in for us since the 90s! Not going use him as a excuse but the game and fouls were not called even - 29 FT attemps to 20. Also hurts when we can't even make them. RJ especially was rattled in the fourth due to the lack of nocalls. You cannot hunt foul calls against Brothers cause he will make it worse for you.
Also knew we were in trouble when Randle couldn't play. That tells me the injury is serious cause Randle is a gamer and would play through pain. I think Obi did an okay job but we cannot win without our All-Star playing at a high level. Take an All-Star away from any team and they suffer.
Give the cHeat credit. Their supporting cast did their job. Spoelstra showed why he is the best coach in the league. Got Butler some easy buckets in the paint and crisp and simple swing passes for open threes. Vincent and Lowry outplayed Brunson - 38 points on 8 threes between them. I know Brunson's stat line wasn't too bad but his defense was awful and his lack of shooting killed us. Without Randle we beeded a Superman game from Brunson and he didn't have one.
Love has always been a Knicks killer and those threes and outlet passes swung momentum. That up and under from Martin was also huge.
Personally I'm going to take a step back and lower expectations. You cannot cheat experience or shooting. This team needs to use this series to learn as much as possible and get better for the future. We are not ready to be a ECF team just yet. This feels like the 2011 playoff series against Boston.

I think listening to paint dry is more entertaining than listening to her.
I watched the Cavs announcers in previous series and they were so far and away better at discussing the game than her.
She just likes to hear herself talk and tries sooo hard to sound intelligent.
I can deal with a loss, but having to put up with her mouth for 48 minutes is too much.

Realistically, the Heat are in the win now mode. That's why they got Love. We aren't. We still have a few years to go , to learn, to improve. You are absolutely right on everything you said
It’s not sustainable, especially if you want to win games
