Official '24-25 NY Knicks Offseason Thread

[qnsfinest]

I'm not putting my faith in that. Not after tonight.

I have faith in this team. But i have been saying for months that pacers are a good team. I don’t expect nesmith to have another game like that. But i do expect towns and brunson to repeat their performances and mikal

 

[Wargames]

@DPresidential you jinxed us breh with the title change

Can you please change the title back. Experiment done bro

 

[Derek Lee]

OG missed that damn FT and he had the extra pass to Hart on the intentional

I wanted more time off the clock

I think Hart was gonna miss a free throw, too, unfortunately

 

[obarth]

OG was definitely shook at the end of the game imo. Fumbled a wide open dunk, bricked a free throw and swung an unnecessary pass to the corner with Nembhard covered on Brunson

Do you have more confidence in the fanbase being confident in leads or the players? Because I'm seeing from fans what I've seen for a while: not knowing how to feel and exhibit confidence when there are actual expectations and things aren't going perfect. When there's no expectations: confident af. We're leading a close game: "we're gonna blow this"I don't think the players, who just proved they won't be deterred by huge deficits against prohibitive favorites, have that same defeatist mindset.

The players for sure but we've got to see the rest of the series. I was referring to OG's individual blunders than the woe is me mentality from Knicks fans

A pacers sweep is more likely than the knicks winning now.

Hali is not even hiding the game plan (which we all knew anyway)

OG is damn near already in the HOF of players who are lowkey uncoordinated yet can make you jump out of your seat at any given moment. He been having head scratching blunders since day 1 while seemingly being our second best player 40% of the time.

 

[Rick Fox at UNC]

Gift that keeps on giving.

Knicks missed shots in the end. They also out hustled for rebounds for them to even be in a position to miss shots at the literal very end. I'll worry if and when the Pacers prove they can force the Knicks into similar situations or they prove they can gain and maintain leads in the spurts where everyone is clamoring about how they can't miss shots.

He’s being really fukking cocky for game 1. A lot of players don’t do that because they know it’s bulletin board stuff.

Knicks need to take it for what it is and step their game up.

Let’s this shyt fuel them to improve.

 

[ProlificLurker]

Brutal loss.

Lots of blame to go around.

Thibs wasn't coaching shyt in the last 3 mins and OT.

OG being awful. Mikal disappeared in the 2nd half.

Critical FT misses by both Kat and OG

Josh Hart being useless

Brunson black hole on offense. Stalled the offense out when he got back in and Thibs just stood there and let him do it smh

This shyt still stings hours later

 

[Damnshow]

Fire Thibs after the season is over and hire someone who actually knows what he's doing. Enough of this loyalty BS to that coach. He's the white Doc Rivers at this point.

 

[livindajetlife]

These the type of loses that cause you to lose the series, can’t afford to lose being up that much this game will be the reason pacers go to the finals

 

[Adonai]

Fell asleep with like 5 minutes left and woke up to this shyt


Hit ya freethrows nikkas
