Watching the Knicks blow this lead down the stretch is like watching a Silverback Gorilla play with its feces

Some fans, like at Boston, San Antonio and OKC, get to follow disciplined and mature teams (yes, I know how young the Spurs are, but still…).

Us?

We get the clown act. This team just never learns. They are their worst enemy and they can’t learn. I hate the fact that I still believe they can change.

Can’t win a chip built around two offensive players who are liabilities on defense.

We hire starphucker coaches

Thibs offensive strategy was "make something happen Jalen"

Brown is basically Thibs 2.0, no play calling, KAT frozen out in the 4th quarter

I blame the front office for hiring dinosaurs to run these squads

Is it too icky to criticize Jalen Brunson now?

LOL

Why would we not call timeout?

Losing to CJ McCollum is like getting raped by your accountant

Garbage 4th quarter by Brunson, poor decision by Brown not to call timeout
Knicksfan @ 4/20/2026 10:48 PM
I’m so tired of this team.

The year that was supposed to be special, they are inconsistent and immature in barely getting the third seed, meanwhile Boston battled remarkably until getting Tatum back.

Not even a full season of struggles and lack of focus made them learn their lesson. No, they are still the same inconsistent and immature team we thought would grow and contend.

This team is again embarrassed themselves. Meanwhile, Boston is proving to be again the class of the division.

I’m so mad and tired of this undisciplined, immature and simply dumb team!

I think the bigger issue was OG down the stretch and Mike Brown not making adjustments

This loss is all on Brunson and Brown. Selfish play and awful coaching.
WP76 @ 4/20/2026 10:49 PM
Not calling timeout is great if you've got a couple more seconds. As it was, it'll be a decision that'll be second guessed for a long time.

Brown was totally outcoached in this game

Nalod @ 4/20/2026 10:49 PM
A lot of in and outs and we got cold. ATL got all the bounces.
Relax fellas, this shit happens.
The pain is real. Get sleep.

Brunson and stupid Brown lineups

WTF with Deuce/Shamet as your PG my god. Even GTA sucked. Kolek could have run the offense

ToddTT @ 4/20/2026 10:50 PM
I want to like this team more than I do.
LivingLegend @ 4/20/2026 10:50 PM
F Brunson tonight -- completely ignored Kat the entire game --- ignored...ignored...ignored.

While I'm at it he basically ignored the entire team and just did his thing.

Deuce - once again comes up small in big spot. Landry shat himself -- Mitch sleep walking on 1/2 his defensive possessions.

This one is on Brunson for dominating entire offense and for M-Brown for allowing it....just a disgrace.

I'll add this Hawks team is weak ass and could beat us --- why do we have Brunson guarding CJ entire night???

Enough with OG. Send him, Diawara and all of our draft picks to Milwaukee for Giannis. Hire Doc as head coach. Sign Thanasis I don’t care.
