Knicks v Pacers

Spicy P to rass.

I said it during the Knicks - Boston series, Thibs is not a good coach and he has to be replaced. Can the Knicks rebound to win, surely they can but it does not remove the fact that Thibs is a clown.

1. In the 4th quarter of a need-to-win game, you sit Bronson for 3 minutes of the start of the quarter, MADNESS.
2. In the 4th quarter of a need-to-win game, you sit Hart for 5 minutes of the start of the quarter, MADNESS. Hart was not in foul trouble and McBride cannot offer the team what Hart can, get Hart in the game.
3. In the 4th quarter of a need-to-win game, you sit KAT for more than 6 minutes, while trailing, with Indiana over the limit and Robinson on the court. Of course the Pacers are going to foul Robinson (who along with Bronson were the Knicks players of the night). With limited minutes to go and Robinson no threat to score, get KAT in the game.

Wait until you learn about the "kind of people" who live in Indiana.

You should move into one of the sun down towns there. I think they share the same views you have of Black Americans.

You'll fit in.

i expected you would come up with that moronic narrative but i keep forgetting you don't know any better .that video was specifically about the treatment of a guy by knick fans and how they behave and you bringing up sundown towns are you high?race hustler

This improbable Knicks win will likely mask the fact that Thibs is a terrible coach!

The Refs (Scott Foster) tried their best to give that win to Indiana last night. Brunson's 4th foul was an atrocious call and the travel call on KAT was terrible. The foul call on Bridges even had the TV broadcasters perplexed.

There was nothing improbable about that win last night. All three games have been close and could have been won by either team.

In reply to Walco

A team down by 20 points coming back to win is an improbable win. More than 50% of all Knicks fans would have thought the game was over at that point. The benefit of hindsight is one thing, during the game is another. I sided with during the game especially with their best player in foul trouble.

But Knick’s we’re up by 17 in game 2

In reply to Chrissy

And they were up by 9 points with 50 seconds to go in game 1. Don’t forget that the Knicks came back from 20 points down to beat the Celtics in the first two games of that series. So there has been a lot of improbable winning going on in these playoffs. Or maybe 20 point leads are not that big of a deal anymore in the NBA.

In reply to Chrissy

That Pacers victory was also an improbable one. No one in their right mind thought the Knicks would lose Game 1 of the Pacers series when they were up big.

In reply to JoeGrine


Your use of the word improbable reminds me of those 100-year storms that seem to occur every year The Knicks were down 20 in the second quarter and cut the lead to 13 at halftime. So you think a Knicks win was improbable trailing 13 at halftime in this NBA?

In reply to Walco

Knicks were not getting any calls last night

In reply to Walco

Improbable = not likely to happen as opposed to impossible to happen.

I rest my case on the topic.

In reply to JoeGrine

And in the words of a notorious bajan politician, I said what I said and I have no intention of “un-said-ing” it

pacers take down the knicks one win away from the nba finals led by a outstanding perfomance by the most "overated player"

Whomp Whomp Whomp

When it comes to basketball fundamentals, the Knicks are painful to watch.
Thibs is an outstandingly poor coach. To wit.........

1. You are down in the 4th quarter and drawing up plays for Bridges with Bronson on the floor.
2. Does Bronson have it written in his contract that he can only play a certain number of minutes?
3. Starting Robinson was checkmated brilliantly by Indiana last night. They sped up the game and led fast break points by over 20. With both Robinson and KAT in simultaneously, (a) you are getting BOTH your bigs tired at the same time (b) you are only getting scoring from 4 players at best (c ) you are encouraging the Pacers to run at you early. Get Hart back as a starter.
4. No way I am resting Bronson for 8 minutes + in a game irrespective of the score, that alone should get him fired. Bronson is trending towards an all-time great and Hall-of-Fame career.
5. If you want to be creative, stop giving Bronson that start of 4th quarter rest especially after giving him 8+ minutes earlier. This is the playoffs, I am down by 1-3 in the series, my best player must be on the court.
6. The team is a turnover happy outfit (Hart was the main culprit), that is on coaching. Good teams will punish you as Boston did (winning every game where the Knicks were very loose with the ball) and Indiana is doing now.

A better coach and the Knicks wins this series handily.

In reply to JoeGrine

So, the Nova Knicks did not get it done in Game 4...hope they play better in Game 5

In reply to ray

at all. Both Hart (turnovers and hesitant to take shots) and Bridges (buckets not falling) were off. I wonder if Thibs can find and dust off Kris Jenkins and suit him up.

Poor spike lee having ptsd cant understand why the knicks cant beat the pacers in the playoffs should have stayed in cannes and promoted your film bruh
