Official '24-25 NY Knicks Offseason Thread

[Mr. Jack Napier]

F*ck the Pacers

Focus on the task at hand, Celtics coming for blood in game 2, and we have to be ready to meet the challenge.

All I know is, these Boston clowns are gonna come out fired up because of ALL the heat & criticism from damn near everywhere because of how they played. I fully expect them to attack the paint more & look to get KAT & JB in foul trouble, maybe even foul hunting. We're going to have to match that intensity & not be satisfied with taking game one & fold in this game if it gets tough early. I'm hoping Thibs has a few tricks up his sleave he hasn't shown to counter some of these adjustments we know are coming

One more thing I wanted to say is that hack a Mitch style of ball is some bytch shyt for real & teams should be penalized for employing those tactics

They didn’t want to deal with Mitch when they drove at the rim. Thibs was saying that they was hacking him to get him off the floor and their run coincided with Precious minutes at five.

I honestly think that was their game plan for game 1. Get Mitch out…. and then run the score up and ride that to victory. They didn’t really know what to do when they got their foul numbers up and Thibs kept putting Mitch and KaT in based on matchups.

They weren’t prepared for Thibs to make substitutions based on matchups. Honestly, Thibs coached like a normal playoff coach and I was happy to see it.

Mitch needs to go 50% at the line

I keep saying this but Thibs doesn’t get enough credit for his gamesmanship. Man’s will purposefully hide his hand. Doing shyt this series he hasn’t shown all season can’t be an accident.

Nobody expects him to shoot 100% but that was embarrassing on Monday. I hope he spent all day Tuesday shooting free throws

His form isn't conducive to success. And this is year 7

He's cooked

Celtics haven't lost with any of the refs who are doing the game tonight

Not a a single game all season?

ill give that Dino egghead his props, there was various offensive plays I never saw ran in the regular season other than maybe the preseason. There was a bunch of off ball cuts, double screens and side screens, had to do a double take to make sure I wasn’t tripping.

Same with the defensive mindset to go switch everything and put more priority on defending the 3. THAT surprised me.

 

[DPresidential]

My God, I want to beat the Celtics JUST to humble* these pacer nikkas.

Sheesh

Nope

[Ironman]

This may be a very frustrating game

 

[Wargames]

No way is this a coincidence. Even if the league doesn’t say anything to them, just by being together they know what is supposed to happen.

Then again the Celtics ain’t shyt, so play the game and see what happens.
