Deuce comes to mind because for the life of me I don't understand where his head (and feet) are at in the playoffs. Maxey lit him up good (gave him his strong hand all series) and McConnell looking like Jerry West / Stockton combo because Deuce is defending him like a knucklehead.You should be able to count on D - it should be reliable and sound but for the life of me Deuce has been MIA on that end.

I can't think of 1 picked pocket, or taking a key charge or stepping in the lanes to deflect a pass -- I'm sure it's happened over the course of the playoffs and I know he had some big scoring games but we need to be able to contain dribble penetration.

I love the young man --- hoping like hell he has a solid (or huge) game tonight ---- COME ON DEUCE.

Credit TJ just a bit? Experience counts. This little shit is a coaches son and has carved out a 7 year career and earned 27mil thus far.
6-1 190 lbs. Dude just gets it done.

Deuce is getting schooled and will learn from this. Give the man his due.

Tj reminds me of Brunson lite he’s very crafty. I wish McBride would play off him a bit and forced him to pass or shoot the 3 he’s not a bad 3 point shooter but he really doesn’t take that many. When you play up on tj he’s able to use his crafty quickness to break down the defense.

We gotta play like our life depends on it tonight! OG hurts, but we are still the better team. We need our Villanova boys to have big games, I expect us to be really aggressive on offense to start . Hometown crowd is gonna be huge tonight… no way we lay another egg, I expect us to prove a point tonight. McBride needs to hit some open threes like he did in Philly , Burks needs to keep being playoff burks.

Todd bursts thru with good vibes - we win tonight.

I like the ladies with the good vibes

Overflowing vibes.


Enough vibes to feed Josh Hart for an entire fortnight.

What do you all think of this sexy vibe?


I think we need to ban you to the same place we sent Papa, win or lose.

Run as in play the rest of the starters as much as possible, not increasing our team game pace.

martin wrote:Indiana has been able to take advantage of Precious not being a threat.

Running with Indiana - what THEIR strength is - is not an optimal solution, it's just not what they are doing now because maybe it doesn't make sense. And also oddly goes against what you would normally do when your offensive engine has a bad foot and you are down to like 7 guys and the whole philosophy of how the team works.

So there is all that.

NYStateOfMind wrote:I agree, this is the next thing to try. Deuce & Precious are off the bench for Burks & iHart. No choice but to run the rest for most of the game. NO Sims without foul trouble. The more injury and fatigue set in, the more this feels headed to a Rocky 1 ending instead of Rocky 2. I hope they show out tonight and play their best. Proud of this team. Let's go Knicks.

We need to help them play well with some reasonable spacing. Siakam is roaming off Precious like he isn't even on the court.

As much as I dislike using Hart as a full time 4 we have to do it. Our best offensive lineup currently is:

PG: Brunson
SG: Burks
SF: DDV
PF: Hart
C: Hartenstein

I will admit I did watch the game and they loss. I will take a peek every now and then I don't know why this is happening. I must end this curse

VDesai @ 5/14/2024 7:39 PM
Pro tip - i think the chase bridge centered off might be the best deal in the arena

There's a good chance Thibs could be one of our dad's and no one would ever know.

Hart is playing too indecisively. He is the open guy, but he doesnt want to take the shot or make the move.

Slightly annoying we havent figured out how to attack their press after 4 games

NYStateOfMind @ 5/14/2024 8:14 PM
Or how to contest wide-open 3s.

I do not feel good about what we're doing atm
markvmc @ 5/14/2024 8:20 PM
I'm pretty happy with it.
VDesai @ 5/14/2024 8:24 PM
Haliburton wanted know part of staying with Deuce there.

Need to stop making the bonehead passes

SupremeCommander @ 5/14/2024 8:25 PM
I love Deuce. I am a biased fan boy, that was dope
SupremeCommander @ 5/14/2024 8:27 PM
ok now I like it
VDesai @ 5/14/2024 8:27 PM
Thats Knicks basketball!!!!
SupremeCommander @ 5/14/2024 8:29 PM
see this is beautiful

move the ball

I hate thi dribble, dribble, CHUCK thing. Considering Brunson's injury, none of these guys are Melo. None of them are Crawford for that matter. Keep moving it

markvmc @ 5/14/2024 8:31 PM
Need to challenge that shit.
markvmc @ 5/14/2024 8:32 PM
Is it just me, or do Brunson and Thibs have identical hard stares?
