Josh was right about TJ. We might have to actually kill him to put him down.

Hell, even a few offensive schemes other than JB iso into double teams, would be nice. McBride has the same -22 as Precious.

What are you talking about? The quarter is not even done and we have scored more than we did in the first. I guess you like 14 points in the 1st instead of 21 in the not done 3rd?

How is this hard to grasp? Scoring 21 is better than scoring 14. No one said mcBride is going to make us blowout the pacers. he is making like 3mil. The point is to not make this harder than it has to be. Having 2 people the defense can ignore is making it harder for the other 3. I am done talking about this simple concept.

Our roster situation is so bad I'm pining for the players like McDrmott and Galloway.

Losing is one thing but this is record setting bad. Forty years from now they'll be talking about this slaughter and we were on the wrong end of it.

maybe the minutes have caught up.

Like the way they keep showing Reggie Miller tossing Greg Anthony for the clutch, but illegal, three?

All wins and losses count the same. 2-2 back to MSG. We know this team and how they perform when back is against the wall. I wouldn’t mind seeing Burks start. They need guys to spell the pressure on Brunson in that starting unit.

Not that much drama......

The Denver Nuggets and Minneapolis Lakers hold the record for the biggest blowout in NBA playoff history with a 58-point win margin over the New Orleans Pelicans and St. Louis Hawks. Denver defeated the Pelicans in Game 4 of the 2009 playoffs on their home floor.Dec 5, 2023

The only thing simple is your parrot responses. You harped on Precious @ the 4 with no solution. That's because Thibs has no answer with what he has left. Only OG returning will make a difference in this series. He might not. As JJ said, who cares if you lose by 1 or 30, it is a loss. Scoring 21 vs 14, so we lose by 7 fewer points, great plan you have. And now, I'm done with you.

If Boston gets KP back, it won't matter or be remembered for either team in this series.

Breen must've been wrong then when he said earlier that 31 was the playoff record. Never mind, that was the biggest Knick playoff loss ever.

The only narrative I will dislike is how the Pacers took care of business like the Knicks were the same team in Games 1 & 2 and not the depleted injury wreck that remains.

Jeffries is so springy out there. I almost forgot what fresh legs looked like.

Haha, same way I feel.

When you are 6 deep vs 9, no one can have an off night and that is just to be in the game, with no guarantee to win.
KnickDanger @ 5/12/2024 6:01 PM
Guess we don’t blame the refs for this one….

Not fun. Blow outs happen. This won’t happen in the next one.

You think? Well the announcers have been mentioning it.
Never seen a team with so many injuries and such short rotations…
Just a coincidence I‘m sure, regular season too.

Agreed. We know OGs worth to this team but the national media won’t emphasize it to the degree they should. Call me crazy but I still think we win the series. Brunson needs to go super saiyan mode again and I think he will.

DLeethal @ 5/12/2024 6:37 PM
Knicks have had lots of battles but in a series they haven’t faced adversity yet. They’ve started each series 2-0 and played from ahead with at least a game cushion at all times. Now it’s money time.
ToddTT @ 5/12/2024 6:38 PM
We're done here. Very good season.

Nalod @ 5/12/2024 6:49 PM
We were done after game two.
We pulled it out, but OG hurt was the straw.
Game three we took it to the limit. Damn near did it.

Today We were cooked in first half when I saw Josh tanking open 3 but it was a fall away. Not good form.
Jalen had no legs. Injury mattered. The aggregate of it all is catching up.
This is why some said "fluke". We kept winning no matter how many of our guys kept wearing down and out.
Im not going to hate on those who spoke on opinion. Its for knicks to prove them wrong. They did it as long as they could.
They earned a lot of respect along the way.
