Celtics in 4 pistons in 5 cavs in 4 bucks in 6 heat in 7 magic in 6 you take your pick
I blame this on Thibs. Why not give Kolek a chance when you see Payne playing awefully? He should have sent a message by removing whoever wasn't giving a 100%. Thanks for your optimism though, Gavin!
Knicks look putrid, just weathering the storm before Brunson returns. No team got it worse than Dallas.
Said many times Josh Hart sucks
Being a Knicks fan since '97, I realized that most other Knicks fans are very slow to acknowledge what's happening. This team isn't going anywhere. This is very clear If u watch the games.
“Knicks just lost by 35 points to Detroit. They’re now down 3-0 in the first round. Is it time to panic??? I don’t think so”
Play KOLEK!!
Knicks need 5 Hour Energy
Being tired with travel erc is no excuse when you have rested players on bench.
I told you guys at the beginning of the year and you told me I was out of my mind that KAT was useless on defense. There was a reason Minnesota didn't want him and would rather have Rudy gobert..
Both. Yes tired plays a part. But if this team was as good as advertised this wouldn’t happen even w fatigue. I think they’re a massively flawed team who is also dealing w fatigue issues. They’ve been showing us all year that they’re at best a win 1 round and get dispatched fairly easily in round 2 type of team. I just wanted to believe there was more there but at a certain point you need to accept that we would’ve seen it by now.
