Knicks

99.7% win probability. To blow that they had to allow circus 3 after circus 3, missed FT’s, turnovers late, and a ridiculously lucky buzzer beater that bounced 5 feet in the air and went in. You have to severely F up to lose a game like that and that’s what the Knicks just did. I feel sick!
 
They’ve won in spite of Thibs. Can he ask Rick for his suit guy he looks like Schlemiel. Refs were brutal tonight. Maybe a loss like this gets rid of the bing bong crew. As far as being sick after a game I put this up there with 02 Wildcard game Giants-Niners.
 
I really have a hard time watching the NBA. They permit so many fouls to go uncalled that the ones they do call appear to be completely random. It's no wonder so many challenges get reversed. Then there are so many intentional elbows to the face, slaps to the face, hooks, push offs, throw downs. Even great passes to wide open cutters comes after some brutal contact and pushoffs.

On the other hand having guys on your roster who were there 2 years ago definitely a plus. On the other hand seeing courtside fans sitting in seats that someone paid a few grand for kind of ridicules the notion of die hard fans going wild. On the other hand, we have that too.
 
This loss reminded me how much my head and stomach hurt after the loss to Indiana in the 1994 Reggie Miller game.

Hopefully the team is mentally stronger than us fans, because my sports brain is shaken.
 
Worst loss I have ever seen. This is clearly a test of whatever resilience this team has, and it will take all of it if they are to win. Thibs really needs to work the refs better on the physicality that Brunson is getting from the opposing defenders - he was mugged all night.
 
I’m for building a new MSG now. I don’t know if Westies used the old Penn Station as a burial ground but that place is cursed. Between our futility, the Knicks and Rangers combined 3 titles since it opened in 1967. In person I can say besides this season for us, the clincher vs Montreal in 14 for the Rangers. Get rid of the place, we hanging our hat on the circus 🎪 and some concerts. The place is a house horrors. They should not have tore down old Yankee stadium, MSG get the dynamite.
 
I don’t watch the current NBA much and so don’t understand it. Were the Knicks out of TOs (I wasn’t keeping track) during the last two minutes? They were scoring so they had plenty of chances to call one. Also but I don’t watch NBA, is it customary to not use soft pressure with a big lead so the clock will move and the losing team has less possessions? The Pacers were allowed to get down and shoot those threes very quickly.

Or was Thibs in a coma? They call it a players league for a reason I guess. Tough night for a lot of fans.

there was a sequence when Brunson was dribbling, the Pacer defender, kept on hitting and slapping him, on the side, in the chest, on the arm and in the face, then Brunson, puts his hand up defensively and hits the Pacer defender, and the guy trips, then going down he trips Brunson and they call an offensive foul on Brunson. Held up on review.

Ridiculous how many fouls there were on that one play. I'm okay with physical play, but this comment by Beasts is so true, seems random, and next they will call a 30 foot away from the basket a tiny wrist slap.

Will take me a while to get over worst Knick loss in memory. Lucky I have one last day to lie on the beach and let the surf clear the pain out of my head!
