[Mr. Jack Napier]

It’s not Thibs lol…Celtics just dynasty caliber.

Exactly folks are overreacting. Celtics about to have back to back 60 win seasons, and they're the defending champions.

fukk Thibs

Brunson back to back careless possessions in OT and spamming step backs

Bridges catching passes off his face

But yeah let’s blame Thibs and Hart for this one

You know why the fukk he’s taking step back 3s nikka. He can’t get into the fukking lane cause Josh harts man is in the fukking lane the entire 4th and ot. If Brunson can’t aim bot from 3 how is your fukking superstar getting to his spots. You think the Celtics are canceling their plays to get Tatum to his sweet spot to play a fukking guard who can’t shoot 40 minutes? You ain’t dumb bro don’t be obtuse. Josh a 25 minute player not this 40 minute shyt. Everything is a process oriented
We keep bringing Josh into the action hoping the Celtics have a breakdown cause they’re loaded up making life harder on your all nba players

Thibs gets outcoached laughably, it’s hilarious.
You lost a game you dominate the glass and win the turnover battle cause you don’t value spacing as much as you should.
Repeated drop coverage, unprepared to foul up 3, leaving Josh out there when you NEED A BUCKET. And because you love Josh so much you gotta use him in all your screen actions for Brunson cause you can’t live in a world without Josh hart playing 40 minutes
We ain’t that far from these teams talent wise. Just worlds away schematically

Hart shouldn’t even be on the floor for a last-second shot coming out of a timeout on offense…the same way Brunson is not usually on the floor for a last-second shot coming out of a timeout on defense.

HOF Carmelo

 

[Peter Popoff]

With Al Horford and Jaylen Brown at 75% this is a clean competitive sweep like we swept the Pacers last year.

Your arms STILL too short to box with da Gawds.

Na dawg. Come're bıtch I wanna box your face.

 

[Raquinotj]

Na dawg. Come're bıtch I wanna box your face.

Don’t fight me breh. Fight Anynoby who turns into Kevin Knox when he plays the Celtics.

If my theory is that they won’t Fire Thibs but you let him and his guys join the FO is correct. Then Mike Malone is probably the best coach they could hire to replace Thibs. He goes back with Thibs to being one of Van Gundy’s assistants, and there has always been a lot of mutual respect between the two of them. Malone is also from Queens.





Clearly there is a lot of mutual respect, and Malone likes the Knicks roster.

Whereas while it isn’t talked about enough, the Nuggets roster got gutted by the new CBA. The Knicks meanwhile have dealt with the new CBA better than most. Jokic is a MVP quality player but the rest of that team outside of Murray who can’t stay healthy isn’t near elite. The last thing I want to add is Malone isn’t perfect, but he is willing to experiment with his rosters and he has had legit playoff success. If you’re going to replace Thibs but not fire Thibs. Then they need to bring in someone he respects and who has a championship as a coach. The Nuggets made a mistake firing Malone, Booth did a really bad job with that roster when it came to adapting to the new CBA. The Knicks should take advantage of this.

Nonsense. He’s not fukking Andre Roberson.

They need more counters to the tried and true strategy of leaving a Center on Josh Hart and having that center just wait by the paint instead of actually guarding Hart. Josh took the shots he was supposed to and drove into space like he's supposed, but he couldn't get whistles or convert the jumpers. If he's not doing either of those things, then Brunson and KAT have to shoot long jumpers or face a double-team.

The real solution, though, is just for Hart to hit his open jumpers enough to punish the shift. He did it for the first half of the season, so it's not like he can't get hot and make this work. But last night, 48 mins was way too much.

Wouldnt mind dropping to the 4th seed.

Watching KnicksFanTV recap from last night & they're going in on exactly what I was saying last night. This was a game where Mitch should've been playing more mins with Hart on the bench & more Deuce. I'm pissed because this was such a winnable game
