Knicks

[Delaware]

Had a feeling this might happen, but not to this level. Get out of this game with healthy bodies and regroup.

Game 2, Knicks went out in front by like 23 in first quarter and lead evaporated pretty quick. Hoping for a replay of that in reverse.

At this point why not take the starters out and just play the bench, who cares about the final score , just don't foul.

The starters really really need to rest, it's why this is happening.

Plus OG really needs to play Tuesday

Unfortunately, Thibs insistence on using a short bench catches up with him in the postseason.

Anunoby out for G4; G5 hopes dim, sources say

The New York Knicks ruled OG Anunoby out for Sunday's Game 4 against the Indiana Pacers with a left hamstring strain.

Anunoby is with the team in Indianapolis and has received treatment on the hamstring two to three times a day, but sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski that there has not been enough progress yet to think he will make his return for Game 5 on Tuesday.

With the game over at halftime, the 2nd half would have been the perfect time to bench the starters just to rest them, but nahhh. Thibs is to damn stubborn to do that. A little rest might have helped for Tuesday, JS.

I might get killed for this but oh well.

Just maybe Thibs needs to go.

As we speak, down 37pnts, but the starters are still in.

Finally see Jeffries and Milton in. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!

Now leave them in for the whole 4th qrt.

Tibs scheduling a midnight practice scrimmage starters vs reserves.

Worst playoff loss in Knicks history was by 41 to Jordan's Bulls. Very much in reach today.

I'm infuriated that it took Thibs that long in the 3rd q to rest Brunson and DDV.

Alas, hopefully the guys have more energy on Tuesday. Can't blame them for today.

He doesn't know how to not run players into the ground. It's been part of his downfall in his previous stops.

Ben is true New Yorker like his folks

Meanwhile Pitino is obsessing over who his 11th man will be.

The starters must have thought the game was only 3 quarters because they haven't sat at all in the playoffs. They must have thought the 4th was one of those half-time scrimmages at the SJU games.

Great Vaccaro article on tonight's game and our Knicks. Go New York GO!!

Knicks need raucous MSG crowd more than ever in Game 5

A lot of home-court advantages are helpful; the Garden’s is embedded in the team’s identity.

Gotta win tonight. If they lose tonight then there'll be no game 7 at msg.
Just a gut feeling.

 

[MainMan]

Every time I think the Knicks have run out of gas, they surprise me.

So I wouldn't be shocked if they won tonight and take the series in Indy.

 

[paultzman]

Sticking with Knicks to hold serve at MSG. Overall the Western Conference seems to have better chance of winning championship even against Boston if they get there.

Going tonight, which means a loss...
