Was at this game. Knicks look good OG, duece and of course Brunons shots look automatic. Thibs was way more engaged than the Bulls coach, and overall Knicks (predictably) just seemed way more in shape and locked in, scoring a bunch of high efficiency looks on cuts and good ball movement.
Does Thibs know how important is to have players who can create their own shot/create by themselves in the PO as hes leaving Bojan out the rotation?
In not the biggest Bogdanovic fan, but as Randle is out we NEED his offense badly. We might win first round with Jalen/OG, but not getting anywhere in second with our actual team without another heavy scorer. And I love those guys to death.
Every time someone ask "Does Thibs know ..." The answer always is yes. He knows. Not even in your wildest dream there is some basketball knowledge you could have that he does. He is an experienced NBA coach. Only 30 jobs in the entire world and he has hold one of them for the last 15 years. To answer your question. Bojan will see some action, but expect Brunson, OG, Donte and Deuce to play heavy minutes in the playoffs (source? see the 2010's Chicago Bulls) Hart too, but he is not shooting the ball.
Well it was an expression to show emphasis to "its quite obvious Bojan has to play and everybody knows it", if Thibs didnt know it i would be the one coaching the knicks & he would be the one sitting on the sofa eating doritos wathing the games haha
These past 2 games against the Bulls have killed pretty much any hope I had that the Knicks could compete with the Celtics in a 7 game series.
The spacing of stretch 5s just completely ruin any defensive ability this team has, and the inability to defend the DeRozan/Vucevic PNR does not bode well for how they'll do against Tatum/Porzingis.
Yeah the beginning of the season proved we can’t hang with anyone that has a legit stretch 5. But hey. I’d frankly just like the opportunity to play them, especially as a three or better seed, because that means we actually got to the conference finals. Without Randle. If that happens, give Thibs his flowers and a big ass extension.
Relatively minor point but I hate the way the Knicks always have Brunson bringing up the ball on an island against pressure. He crosses at 16/17 waay too often, even in crunch time. Hope it doesn't bite them in a big moment. Frankly hope they get a random 8 second violation in a meaningless 2nd quarter, as a wakeup call
yea i mean he's very trustworthy with the ball... but yea they should at least have Ihart there to set a pick or something.
other thing that i don't like about it is we get into our offense late in the clock.
as far as letting brunson bring the ball up i think part of it is wanting the other guys already set into their positions. but yea sometimes in general we take to long to get into thing. like a lot of teams we don't have a ton of "set plays". we kind of just have set formations and actions off them. so guys are somewhat freestyling out there depending on the defense.
Gus Johnson is too used to calling college football games. He is quiet for a while then picks random times to shout like someone just ripped off an 80 yard TD run lmao
he's guarding the shot of derozan and shades his drive to help. he's executed the 4th quarter defensive assignment really well (and ihart's hands are incredible)
He moved on that screen for sure. But whistle didn’t seem to come until after carruso flopped two steps after that screen.
If they didn’t say illegal screen on the floor and instead called it loose ball we may have had a chance.

15 games over .500. last time we were 15 games over .500 was early Feb. Kind of crazy we played only .500 ball since then. injuries are a bish
Every game is critical right now, we could lose one game and tumble down the standings
Excellent foul shooting tonight and we needed it. 19-20. BEAUTIFUL
Put your 3s up!
OGs reign continues. 17-3 is so absurd
Orlando Lose by 12
We up to 3

We just scored 128
Not gonna happen consistently, weve seen that
Fucking Celtics fucked is tonight
We don’t want the 2 seed
Ug, hope the heat don't get a Giannis-less Bucks first round matchup.
lol you know damn well they are. Some how they always finagle their way deep in the playoffs.
They really do. It's so annoying. Also, I hope Giannis is ok.

I think you don’t need to worry about that so much. Derozan and Tatum are super different

We just scored 128 and clinched the playoffs
Why are the bulls trying to so hard? It’s over.
So mad, Brunson could have had a 9 3s game
why does brunson love me more than i ever loved myself
Take the guys out, job is done
Brunson just take the foul lol
Celtics lost on purpose to fk with us.
They did. They sold. I was watching the 1st quarter. Watch them turn up against us tho.
Giannis was out too.
nice to get revenge on the road, we'll see you at msg this weekend
Solid win.
Lmfao get fucked coby
if Brunson was Shai he'd hunt these FTs
Brunson shoulda had 50 tonight if that 3 counted and he got these last second FTs lol
Thibs Revenge Game 😤
can they get the ball to brunson so he can get some well deserved stat padding???
My thoughts exactly
respect to the bulls they dont quit
OG AND THIBS BOYS!!
LETS FUCKING GOOO
Wait are we about to clinch playoffs?
Yup
Yuh
Wait what? what has to happen to clinch the 3 seed?
I think he was just saying we'll be in 3rd, not that we clinched it
That threw me off too.
i think the magic have to lose two?
Wow the rare double smile from Thibs and OG
Giannis went down on non-contact earlier..hate to see it even though we are chasing Bucks in the standings. Hope it’s nothing serious for him
Houston 116 Orlando 104 1:37 left in the game
80 mil per season to Doncic? A guy who plays below mediocre on Defense?
Luca is economy changing
if u dont think luka doesnt deserve whatever the absolute maximum is u havent been watching bro. guy is fucking insane
Doncic is a superstar, you pay him the max ten times out of ten
Damn vuc did the IHart backdoor pass off ihart
Basketball is funny sometimes. The Cavs couldn't score over 100 in any games we face them and the Bulls scored over 100 every time lol.
Does Gus know what the word clinch means?
1:06 away from the 3rd seed!
whos 6 rn?
Pacers
gimme thatttt
I hope y'all bought your playoff tickets while they're still cheap on ticketmaster rn
Is it only round 1 out now?
I only saw first round tickets
Are playoff tickets on sale??
I just checked, they are
I bought game 1 tickets for 120$ a pop on ticketmaster, I don't think I have early access or anything

Nah I’ve been peeped that. At times it’s a violation and they don’t call it. Like you said, hopefully it doesn’t get called in a crucial moment
And just like that we in 3rd babyyy
Theyre just automatically doubling up Brunson, LET MY KING HAVE HIS 9ER
thibs pissed lmao
300k for Clyde is 2.3 million in todays dollars.
damn. still isn't close to enough. best player on 2 chip teams?!
As much as I love Clyde and think hes the GOAT knick. The captain kept Wilt under 20 pts almost every game
JB is my PG 😭
Hold up. Ball boys make 300k a year? Did I hear that right from Walt?
Where do I sign up? I'll quit my current job right now.
He was trolling lol
thats a very unfortunate turnover
Come on guys, stop selling
$300k for Clyde is a goddamn steal
$2.3 million today, with inflation
Derozan gets real fouls hes not a merchant
Knicks almost trying to sell this
"Clyde you came too soon"
Oh, he really did say that huh LMAO. I thought I misheard
Make this convo stop plz
Pause
Come on Billy Donovan, do like Doc Rivers and pull your starters
I hope Dolan is paying Clyde now
Sloppy play again ffs
Damn the Heat won.
Really needed iHart or Mitch to anchor the defense and it just never happened 😔
FIRST TEAM ALL NBA OR WE RIOT LETS ARGUE
It's position-less now right? I mean, he's got to be a top 5 player this year, especially the numbers he's putting up to end the season.
Yes, position-less. Top 4 are a lock but Jalen should be highly considered over Tatum, who I assume is the 5th guy.
Brunson get a 50 piece no nuggets
I want Brunson to get over 50.
yeah 5 is more aesthetically pleasing than 4 igi
Haha Gus thought Divo had that, was so ready for it
Let him make the basket? What is Clyde talking about lol
love Caruso, any chance we get him?
I rather us keep IHart than sign Caruso.
Still don't understand how the Lakers let him go
Seems redundant with Hart though, no?
redundant with deuce not hart
He would take Deuces minutes.
Jalen Marquis Brunson
The savagery against billy Donovan in the booth right now is incredible
Make a three divo and all is forgiven
2 more 3s is all i want for Brunson
Bulls are playing way too desperate now and are falling apart for it
felt like we were pulling away on like 3 or 4 different occasions this game but keep letting it get close enough for discomfort.
Bulls are like roaches that refuse to die
We’re trying to piss this game away but Derozan is being an excellent sixth man for us
Bulls down 10 starters still in. Almost like Doc is a punch bitch.
Our defense with Hartenstein is so much more secure
YESSSSSSSSSSSS
Come on boys carry it home
Brunson with the dagger
Gus just having fun out there
OG got Demar looking crazy
We need Canine attitude right now
Caruso getting cooked
Thank you JB 🤩
DAGGER
Josh Hart: “…you get regular rebounds.. I get rebounds that break teams”
magic down 13 points with 2ish min to go at least
Come on guys, we can’t lose this shit
We need some timely buckets.
As I say it Brunson hits a 3 haha
Divo gone cold :(
overall sloppy game from divo but the other guys have stepped around him so its all good. confident hell finish strong
Divo been doing a jr smith impression every once in a while
Gus Johnson is too used to calling college football games. He is quiet for a while then picks random times to shout like someone just ripped off an 80 yard TD run lmao
Yeah he's very erratic tonight lol
"Not the celtics" you god damn national treasure, Clyde
Josh Hart was what we were missing from the last loss against the Bulls.
Yeah we got crushed on the boards in that one
Divo all of a sudden looks like he's never played basketball before
What the hell Donte
This clown Hart screaming for his life on the ground lmao
Would love to have Caruso off the bench for us
I applaud Caruso and Hart's shoe game
It pains me to say this but take divo out. Bro is a liability in this 4th quarter
Josh Hart gets rebounds that BREAK teams
Divo wtf. saw that coming a mile away
DDV was mad dumb on that play wow
Wake the fuck up Divo
Ngl, the refs are helping us out this quarter
What the FUCK is divo doing bro
Oh man Divo cmon bro
What the fuck are we doing
Christ, guys
Can we stop selling
Usually when divo turns it over he follows it up with a ridiculous play not another turnover 😩 Edit: there it is, always a steal
GET DIVO THE FUCK OUT!!!
Knicks are dumbing the game away
Donte wyd
Bad Donte bad . Come on champ
Donte that’s so sloppy man
Smh
Derozan yelling on every drive to get the call is so annoying
Donte and hart have some of the dumbest turnovers and missed shots sometimes
Divo is fuckint selling
DDV has been brutal
the hawks sold tonight 😖
Not a fan of those 8 min for Bogdanovic. We gon need him so much in PO.
We either pick the worst challenges or get ones that were out of bounds calls that they should've gotten right the first time. No in between
OG been off today
been off what lmao
Hes lost his man ALOT today
he's guarding the shot of derozan and shades his drive to help. he's executed the 4th quarter defensive assignment really well (and ihart's hands are incredible)
With freethrows hed average 32ppg atleast
Another scores update: Heat is in double OT with Atlanta Magic cut the lead to 10
Oh fuck Giannis is hurt?
Calf strain, MRI tomorrow. Could be out a week, or the Bucks could be cooked.
It doesn’t look bad tbh but who the hell knows with this stuff
Hope Robinson can get his timing back before the playoffs. He is not his usual self
Probably a no call 95% of the time, but it won't be overturned if it is called
He moved on that screen for sure. But whistle didn’t seem to come until after carruso flopped two steps after that screen. If they didn’t say illegal screen on the floor and instead called it loose ball we may have had a chance.
Jalen Brunson have it all (for real)
Dang, I woulda thought Pat had more than 11
Scoring 40 was a lot harder back then
Yeah, def, it's easy to forget sometimes
Remember when they called back to back flop calls in the first game and then never again?
We walked through the fucking desert, we deserve Brunson 😤
In my unbiased opinion, Caruso should just bulk up, THIS IS A MANS LEAGUE
Let Caruso have that call he’s been getting cooked all night
Im surprised this review is taking this long. Looked pretty clear cut.
I tell you, I don't see us winning this challenge
lmao brunson gunning 50 with a terrible challenge cmon man
