Next game, get KAT the ball in the paint or closer to it. KAL hit shots before the end, learn to use Mitch with lobs, stop standing around late, and making it close to mission impossible each game for JB. FT and layup drills. We have a beautiful Tuesday to walk tall and proud.

Greatest Knicks playoff comeback in a long time. Damn proud of our men.

F the Celts, Boston, the refs, and league/Silver. We still won, idiots.

I would ask for lots of free throw shooting drills.

Yeah, but we shot like 50% from the line.

We took 37 - we dont usually come close to that many but I appreciated us putting them up. They have been so hot against us that they were bound to have a bad night.

KP ill or something
Hauser hurt
Tatum definitely off in some way - banged up
Brown banged up

Gotta take advantage

4 game road playoff winning streak

For the path and level of play the Knicks had this year, that stat right there is both confounding and so wildly spot on at the same time, somehow.

Celtics Reddit…

They got the Knicks in foul trouble and then just launched 30 straight 3s for absolutely no reason

KP been legit doo doo this playoffs

Fucking hell why keep pssing to Tatum? Get something towards the rim. FFS

We could really use one of those runs where we score more points than the other team

Some of y’all are just miserable

the media tried to gaslight everyone in to thinking the Knicks made the right move mortgaging the future for this team

Hauser literally checked in, airballed, made a stupid foul then got hurt lmao

Relax everyone. Game's not over. EDIT: fuck

OG turned the game around and came up huge offensively — would love to see him keep attacking and stay aggressive. Brown still doesn’t look 100%, and they’ve got to keep going at Holiday.

Two incredible steals by Bridges, Hart was a monster on the glass, and Brunson delivered an epic stretch. Stolen and earned

I think the difference was Celtics weren't in the penalty and KP was out so the Celtics didn't have the opportunity or extra fouls to use.

Yep. His level of aggressiveness keeps improving. Much better than when he was in Toronto. Or last year.

Deuce had some big shots late as well.

I agree Deuce dropping 3 triples was huge.

The team as a whole was more aggressive than usual about taking their 3s and they have to be

We will call them Deuce+1s

Dude hasn't played in 6.5 games, I can't be too critical.

It's amazing Reggie is able to commentate this game with the Knicks dick in his mouth

Oh my god bro Zingus you aren't doing shit for me.

Bricking threes all game. What was our response? Take even more fucking threes.

TWO STEP BACK THREES WHEN YOU HAVE A MIDGET GUARDING YOU

Tatum fuck you

Right now I would resign Kornet over KP

I still ant get over Mitch just going “we’ve been here before” Like no tf yall haven’t 🤣

We’re shooting 25% from 3 yet 80% of our fucking shots are 3s. Why

Reggie Miller is worse than Doris Burke

STOP WITH THE FUCKING THREES YOU FUCKING MORONS

You knew, I knew it, my mother knew it, everyone knew it that JT was gonna take that 3.

Please fuck these Knicks up. Sincerely, a pistons fan

BK was more consistent throughout the game, JB is more clutch. Different positions, so not exactly easy to compare. But BK was special to watch, sometimes it seemed he would never miss.

What was better, Bernard King's run or what JB is doing? Last time I asked that I was told BK was more dominant. How does this year's run stack up?

NYStateOfMind @ 5/5/2025 10:39 PM
Or a #2 plus a #1.

How about the hack a Mitch 8 minutes before that?

The answer is both. Achiuwa isn’t helpful and Mitch is unplayable in the playoffs with the fouling. Knicks need to address the backup big this summer. We just need a Paul Reed type.

Reggie Miller’s vagina must be sore after calling this game
Knixkik @ 5/5/2025 10:48 PM
What a game though. Brunson didn’t have his buzzer-beater magic, but he gave us the big boost in the 4th regardless. And OG and mikal gave us what was needed. So did Deuce. He was important in this game. KAT just got out of rhythm with the fouls. He will get his chance to recover.

We made that big comeback with Mitch at center. Mitch pressured Tatum on that missed 3 late in the game. And defended the inbound pass in crunch time. F the missed free throws, Mitch played a role in this win with defense and rebounding. We dont play him we lose.
