With that being said, what teams are realistically going to trade for a soon to be 30 year old KAT that's due an extension?

Bulls but I don't want Ball

 

[seemorecizzy]

why do the pacers get wide open shots on every play? i see that dude on da pacers fight through screens on every play. Damn near every shot we take is contested.

We have OG and bridges out there, it makes no sense.

I agree Thibs shyt the bed, but the worst thing he did was play his 5 best players together for extended minutes.

But why? The thing that worked in game 3 was working in game 4. Why go away from it? Then burning guys to the point that Brunson wasn't even looking for his shot down the stretch.

The Knicks' perimeter defense is trash and has been so for years.

Idk and like I said Thibs is a fukking idiot. I have no problem if they fire him, but the lineup ain’t good either.

Gonna take me a while to get over this one...

I know I'm being dramatic, but I ALMOST would rather have we lost to the Celtics... this shyt been too stressful...

For me, it's not even an almost. Unless the Knicks make a historical comeback against the Pacers, I definitely prefer losing to Boston.

Fukk Indiana as a city, state, and crew

Also, this series is the last time that the NBA will be on TNT (at least for the next 11 years).

Please, for the love of everything, don't let the last NBA on TNT broadcast be the Pacers celebrating an ECF win at MSG.

The Pacers can beat the Knicks by 50 in Indianapolis in Game 6 for all I care. KNICKS, JUST WIN GAME 5.

Bro Boston didnt implode. Boston doesn’t have guys who have the handle to score on the midrange & the Knicks sped up their offense every except the 3rd where either they took a break or got cocky.

This series is game 1 KAT completely shyt the bed defensively. Brunson has struggled with decision making. Plus Indy has mid range guys and the ability to to rest more. In game 4. The Knicks did their normal speed up offense/defense and it worked cause KAT was Killing them. In the last game they froze KAT out and had a large number of turnovers and short shots which makes me think they are tired.

If you’re gonna come in here and talk ball, talk ball. Teams don’t choke two games in a series, they get strangled.

Celtics didnt blow 20 point leads in b2b games at home ? Thats called imploding brehski...

the Knicks and Celtics both have this series. A 20 point lead ain’t safe in the modern NBA

At home in the 2nd half of both games 1 and 2 ?

Celticws imploded in the 2nd half of both games why are we even arguing this ?

Cause you keep bringing up the Boston series and making excuses for them getting beat.

The trading KAT stuff is nonsense as it would surely be the end of Leon Rose if that happened. We all know that Dolan absolutely loved Julius (like a son) and it took Leon a lot to convince Dolan that trading Julius/breaking up the NOVA family was the right move. It was so controversial that a day after it happened in the NYpost that there were leaks from executives (looks at you World Wide Wes) that not everybody was on board with this trade.

The Fournier contract was a disaster alongside Nerlens Noel and Kemba contracts but that was saved by signing Brunson

But THIS!!! Leon can not trade KAT and face Dolan afterwards. KAT is Leon’s golden piece and his guy.

Side note: I’m worried about KAT’s long term health. Two meniscus surgeries and his kneecap in consistent pain is bothersome. Watching KAT movements from March on you know he’s in pain.

Leon has to make that Brunson and KAT pairing work.
