Knicks

I don’t know if it’s coaching or roster but there’s just something so off about this team

I’ve been saying the same thing all year. I think it’s a combination of factors but generally speaking it’s the style of play. Their pace is horrific and it only gets worse when Brunson gets his hands on the ball late in games. They don’t play team basketball whatsoever. Last year’s team was gritty as can be and they replaced those parts with Bridges and Towns. Both supremely talented but soft as baby shit!

I’d ask the same question about how do you watch soccer.
To each his own. Have loved pro and college hoops since I was 12 years old and still do.

I obviously love college basketball, I wouldn’t be a fan of this team or a member of this board otherwise and I used to watch the NBA regularly up until the 2000s but this was unwatchable and it’s the playoffs. I want the Knicks to win for the city but screw James Dolan.
 
Tibs was bad tonight. I know he had only one timeout out left but needed to use it with over 2 minutes to go and Hart and Brunson waiting at scorers table to get back in game. Didn’t call TO until 47 seconds left. The down 3 with just over 2 second left and McBride at line trying to miss they executed 50% of the play. He misses shot and Towns and Mitch who were both lined up on foul line actually managed to tip the ball out past 3 point line which was Knicks only hope. Trouble was there was no Knick there to get the ball. Should have had 3 guys out past the 3 point line the 2 other guys out there at the time and McBride after missing the fouls shot but Knicks had only one guy out there and he was on the other side of the court. Terrible execution of that desperation play. Also 3 times in 4th Q Knicks turned it over trying to force passes inside to Mitch who isn’t an offensive threat and couldn’t hit a free throw all night. Just awful 😣

Also doesn’t help to miss 11 FTs. And how about running plays in the last 2 mins of a game versus all this one on one stuff. Hope they can come out Thursday and play and complete game and wrap this up. The last thing they need is a Game 7. Boston will be sitting and waiting and we know how large of a task they will be.
 
I'll admit that I loved the Bridges trade, thought it showed that the Knicks are going for it.
Turns out that Bridges isn't even that good.

Towns, atleast he's showing up and came up big in a few games.

Knicks would be lucky not to get swept by Boston, but can they atleast beat Detroit?

I agree on Bridges. And they gave up so much draft equity for Bridges that I don’t know how they get better this offseason without having to trade one of their starters. They have minimal draft capital left to trade. Let’s please win Game 6 and see what happens.

Yeah it stinks to feel/know that after they made all these personnel changes over the past 18 months.

TheyHave made all these changes: Head coaching changers, have had some really good players, but the fact is they have not been to the eastern conf finals since the 1999-00 season when they lost to the Pacers, that's 26 years now.

Look at they Cavs, they were good the last few years since Mitchell went there, but nothing like this, how did this happen?
Garland, and Mitchell been here, they didn't just come, but this year the Cavs have gone to a whole other level.
Why can't the Knicks ever surpris like that?

After this years disappointment I gotta stop caring so much, nothing ever changes.

I'll watch and hope they win but just say oh well when they lose. Probably better for my health also.
