  1. We aren’t in the situation if Mitch didn’t allow a 4 point play.

  2. NeilOwnsYou

    Those free throws are irrelevant to me because Maxey missed 3 free throws earlier in the 4th too. How about if they just foul instead of allowing a look for 3?

    This was the worst stretch of basketball I’ve ever seen given the circumstances

    there are a number of things to blame that we did, and Philly could say the same with the insane turnovers they had at the end of the 4th. I’m sick but fuck it, we ball, they’ll close it out at our home away from home next game. hilarious post btw, i still wanna cry tho

    Schwinny just said. And is correct:

    *everybody* fucked up.

  5. gnukidsontheblock

    Im not mad at our guys, Maxey hit 2 insane shots and while we werent perfect, it was a one in a thousand situation.

    It ain’t all on Hart’s FTs. I blame the 5 or 6 Brunson OT possessions that was fucked. 2 TOs the few bad misses and Brunson was wide open on a fast break and he gave it to a double teamed Hart. Lots of errors in OT.

    So many damn things had to go wrong for us to lose that game and all of them happened

    This photo looks like every city in China, fr

  9. OG missed a gimme too at the line after that breakaway foul

    As a team we shot a terrible 67% FT, though it was somewhat neutralized by them shooting only 68% (not that their ineptitude excuses ours). But they also beat us on the boards 46 REB to our 40, and they had 12 OREB to our 6. Then of course all the various mistakes late game.

    Wish we won in OT then it could have just been like a fun thing to think back to like “phew that would have sucked”. That’s how I felt when we started OT 5-0. But this is an all time chokejob even if we win the series it will be played in highlights for years and years just like LJs 4 point play.

    As a Giants fan it painfully reminds me of the meltdown in the meadowlands.

    Don’t foul or give up a 3. If you’re going to foul make sure they don’t even get the shot off. Down 3 at the end and don’t foul? So many mistakes and of course the free throws.

  13. fluffanuttatech

    No. Why is thibs allowing any play and not calling for a foul. Or drawing a play to end the game. Or subbing hart our knowing he’s a mediocre ft shooter. Thibs can’t be making these mistakes

  14. teknomatic

    it’s not just this. Mitch had the foul on the 4 point play. No foul to prevent a 3 going up. Deciding to abandon running any kind of offense and just spamming iso for pretty much the entire OT.

    It was a lot of mistakes that added up to us losing the game

  15. Let’s put this on Hart and not:

    Brunson for also missing a FT late or,

    Mitch for the 4 point play or,

    Thibs for not fouling up 3

  16. mutherfucker_jones

    Keep your heads up everyone. Brunson has shown leadership all season, and him and Thibs will get these guys ready.

  17. Big_Grapefruit_7812

    Brunson refused to pass the ball!! After that stupid pass he made that cost them the game it was clear Brunson was not supposed to have over 7 assists.

  18. It’s ok my friends. We got this. I’m gonna puke my brains out but we all know Brunson is a winner. They ain’t beating us three times in a row.

    The world if Hart makes both free throws  

    The world if Brunson makes both free throws 

    The world if Mitch doesn’t give up a four point play 

    The world if Maxey doesn’t hit a logo three in the clutch 

    The world if Deuce fouls with a three point lead with 10 seconds left 

    The world if we could have actually won in overtime  

    The world if we score a single bucket in the first 6 minutes (0/8 FG) 

  20. WhistleTipsGoWoo

    It’s OK fellas…we got nothing but home games left, so I’m not worried about it. No one remembers this game in a few days.

  21. pBeatman10

    Why even single this out. There were like 40 mistakes in the last two minutes, then 20 mistakes & terrible strategy in OT.

  22. PluvioPurple

    A lot of lessons learned for the guys in this game. It’s good to get this kind of bad experience out of the way for a real push in the upcoming seasons.

  23. Poonpan85

    It feels like the 90’s when Reggie was raw dogging us 😭

  24. Rthegoodnamestaken

    Honestly pretty much everyone but deuce had a pretty big fuckup right at the end. Unless im forgetting to blame him for something
