So will it be the Achiuwa at the 4 lineup with poor spacing, but more beef/rebounding?
Or will it be that small lineup we saw where Deuce Starts at the 2 and Divo and Hart are forwards. That small lineup helped us against the Western teams. The Precious/iHart lineup was effective in that February win over the Pacers.
In Thibs we trust
He started well but now he is shooting IQ and Grimes percentages.

Donte was NOT having a good series vs. Phili and Thib's adjusted by playing him 48 and he's been hot ever since. I have very good feelings about the buttons that Thibs presses. I am thinking not only do we see a huge dose of McBride but he plays really well.
The question is what do/can we get from Brunson? He gutted it out the other night. Gotta make sure this guy doesnt go Grant Hill on us

He has only take 10 shots in 3 games. Small samples. Wasn't playing the same minutes. Would help if he came in and hit his first 3 because it brings confidence. Ultimately he'll earn the takes if he can stay with McConnell.

small lineup. Thibs doesn't want to use Sims
Man what dray just said was stupid this team ant no fluke dog. What was a fluke was the warriors even making the play in with that old roster of has beens and Steph . JB and the Villanova boys are changing the culture of the Knicks. The guys at Espn and TNT are just sheep’s and don’t realize it’s time to change the narrative because this team is for real JB is the best player/ pg in the east. the Villanova boys know how to win championships through all the doubters even in college These boys always come out on top, and they constantly disappoint the critics lol. .These “experts” all just sound like they don’t watch the Knick games, this is the best team and team chemistry I’ve seen since 94 . JB and the boys are changing the face of our franchise! now let’s leave the critics breathless and blowout the pacers tonight, and go for the sweep !

Knicks fans also - it takes 6-8 weeks minimum for a hammy but OG got this by game 5. We have been playing out of our minds but reality is staring at us. Cautiously optimistic we get some good injury news.
No one is drinking cool aid to think we can scrap out this series against Indiana starting up 2-0. We beat them already with this exact same lineup during the season. If someone says we can go beat Boston with 6 guys then yes they are drinking the kool aid. But this shorthanded team can beat Indy. A worse shorthanded Bucks team handed them a beat down in the last round. This shorthanded lineup put a big whooping on them last game in the 2nd half.
One legged Brunson also dropped 20+ in the 4th last game and has had a couple days to rest.

The nba runs on tv ratings. No Lebron or Steph and ratings are down. Knicks are building their brand though. We are up and coming. Knicks fans are like cicadas🤣 we’re all over this country just like all the bandwagon Lebron and Curry fans. Culture don’t sell. Lebron and Curry sell until they retire

Well for a dude who is still lamenting over Kemba and Obi like we traded Trae Young for Doncic, or we should not have signed Marvin Webster and if now we'd be in better shape, you do like being "that guy".
But your not wrong. We might lose 4 straight and series turns because of injuries.
If this was before game one I would not be feeling very good about this series.
That was are up 2-0 is a different story.
This could turn into a real shit show for us.
or.......
Thibs becomes legend.
How fun is all this!!!!!

Gotta go 2-3 in the next 5 games with 2 of them at home. Shorthanded, but do-able.

Remember when posters used to argue for days/weeks/months about the 15th man on the roster. I mean a few good players at the back of the rotation right now wouldn’t be so terrible would it? Trading Obi for nothing was a chance to get a rotation level player back lost. Trading 1st rd draft picks to salary dump bad contracts are more self inflicted wounds that did not turn into possible rotation development players. Disagree but atleast get it right. I’ve said the exact same thing ad museum in the other thread and have never pined for Obi. Fuck him, he wanted out. Good luck son. Get some shit back in return instead of putting a bow on him and delivering him to his first choice team for nothing. It’s a message board. We talk about shit. We ain’t changing the world here. It’s called debate.
Pacers also have Robert Randolph in their lineup tonight.
Indiana will try to come out fast early. Withstand that and they will get tight and Knicks can steal this one. They are young and will feel the pressure if this is clise
