OT: The Knicks are

[RUdepressed]

Slow and unathletic

 

[RUJMM78]

Over rated.Too many players are no shows in the fourth quarter.

 

[RUDivision]

Need a true #1 and a PG ! Tough loss

 

[T2Kplus20]

Soft (especially without Tibs).

 

[RC80]

Don't watch the NBA anywhere like I did on the 80's & 90's; and don't want to say how long I've been watching the Knicks. But you can tell what a championship team looks like, and this was never looking like one. They were relying on key injuries from the other teams to get them to a Conference win; and now that isn't going to help them either. Hearing Billy Donovan is going to be their next coach.

we got 5 1st rounders for Mikal!!!

Nets have their pick next year (2027), an unprotected pick swap in 2028 and their pick the following year (2029)!

Knicks will beat Hawks in this playoff series.

 

[phlop87]

Going to fire Brown if they don’t make it to the Eastern finals

Dolan worst owner in sports!! Enough said

 

[albanyknight]

They looked like a different team on Sunday and probably should have won at least one of the two games they lost.

I'm not too worries about the Hawks. Getting to the finals however, is another matter.

 

[RUInsanityToo]

Dolan worst owner in sports!! Enough said

Actually that honor probably now goes to Woody Johnson with the Jets 15-year playoff drought. Knicks have pretty much righted the ship over the past 5 years when Dolan brought in Leon Rose with three 50+ win seasons in a row.

 

[RUPete90]

Great takes in this thread.

 

[RUDivision]

Are destroying the Hawks

 

[Dowling's Revenge]

this is one of the craziest *** beatings I've ever seen

 

[RUPete90]

Still another half to go and I don’t want to kill some of the negative posters on this thread, but to post that crap three games into a seven game series during which the Knicks lost two games by one point - and had a chance to win at the end both times - is ridiculous.

 

[RexMantlepiece]

Cool to see knee jerk reactions by our illustrious message board members aren’t just related to RU sports.

Don't think it just this message board. There's no such thing as patience anymore. Everyone wants to be the first with a definitive hot take in the heat of the moment.

 

[RUnotentertained]

Absolutely thrilled with the effort until 8mins to go in 3rd Q
Coming out with a 10-0 run to start second half proved this team wasn’t F-in around !!!

Knicks went back up 57 and all at once the starters lost all interest . Brown called TO and emptied the bench

Bridges plays like that going forward Knicks fans can dream big !!!!


Got one text after OG scored his 16th point ….”Pike would’ve taken him out after 12 points in first 6 mins “

 

[RUPete90]

this is one of the craziest *** beatings I've ever seen

I have never seen anything like it. Figured it had to be a record, but on Boomer and Gio this morning they mentioned a 60+ point beatdown that the Nuggets gave to the Pelicans in 2009.

 

[RUDivision]

Bring on the Sixers!

 

[RUnotentertained]

The Knicks are …..putting belt to a$$ for second straight game

 

[LeapinLou]

Great takes in this thread.

I'm late to this thread so I'm reading these for the first time. Needless to say, the comments on this thread have not aged well.

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

Embiid out for game 2 tonight.

 

[RUnotentertained]

Embiid out for game 2 tonight.

Tonight’s the knight to show you’re not
F-cking around! Go up early and beat their A$$ again . Leave not doubt

Fine KAT $100,000 for every foul tonight
He needs to abuse Bona and Drummond

 

[RUnotentertained]

Mitch out …illness

That must be some serious diarrhea

 

[shields]

Barlow for Philly played at Dumont high school?

 

[RUnotentertained]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuk

OG injured

 

[LeapinLou]

No OG is no bueno.

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

It’s a hamstring strain for OG and he’s day to day.

 

[RUDivision]

Rest him game 3 and 4! He’s had been our best player by far and the MVP of the playoffs.

 

[RUnotentertained]

Let’s f—-ing GO !!!!!!!!

 

[RU MAN]

We need OG for the conference finals.

 

[RUnotentertained]

Same mindset in game 6 vs Atlanta
Get out early and rip their hearts out
Could be a 50/50 maybe more for Knicks crowd today.

Smart and discipline today , if Sixers are down big early Embiid will try and start some

 

[ScarletteK80]

Are literally on fire. End of 3rd they are up 122-83.

 

[RUnotentertained]

BELT TO A$$ AGAIN !!!

Sweeeeep !!!

 

[ScarletteK80]

144-114 final. Big bang.

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

144-114 final. Big bang.

The crazy thing is — it wasn’t even that close.

 

[RUDivision]

Prime example why coaching matters! Thibs defensive coach who was stubborn as hell and would not change his offensive philosophy or play his bench

Getting Brunson off the ball,, playing the bench, KAT trigger man, and more 3’s has unlocked there potential and ceiling.

Any other defensive stubborn coaches floating around here? Hmmm
