that felt like a huge choke by dallas, all the missed FTs, OKC offense was gross and they gutted it out

SGA played great and luka/kyrie sucked and they barely won


if Daigenult figures out to stop starting Giddey and playing Wallace/Wiggins more, dallas might be in trouble (so basically they're probably fine)

Daigneault thinks you have to play 10 players or more every game. He finally figured out not to give Hayward any minutes and instead plays equally worthless Kendrich Williams 8 minutes. That's way worse than playing Giddey. But yeah, 8 man rotation and maybe some spot minutes for Giddey seemed like the optimal playoff lineup like...4 months ago. I don't understand what he's doing at all.

I feel like it should be 3-1 and whatever he does next shouldn't matter because they're not coming back from down 3-1. But somehow it isn't.

Wallace closed that game and Giddey barely played 2nd half.

It feels like SGA may have carried this guy long enough that he is gonna stumble into the right lineup by game 5. Start Wiggins, Wallace is your 6th man getting like 30 mins, JWill backup C, Joe gets instant offense minutes when 1 of Kyrie/Luka isn't out there and then maybe Giddey gets like 3-4 mins a half when SGA is sitting for some extra ballhandling playmaking.

It really is that simple.

Continuing my bold predictions after going 5/5 in Pacers-Den-Pacers-Den-OKC, but tomorrow NY and Den have got this, which doesn't feel very bold, tbh, but still my prediction. What might be a bold prediction is whoever wins out of Min-Den tomorrow/wins the championship

feels like knicks win close tomorrow and Brunson is HIM down the stretch and pacers pacer without a nembhard prayer late, then pacers win gm 6 by 20 against depleted knicks squad on fumes

then game 7 about 3 mins before tip clyde frazier, john starks and patrick ewing casually walk onto the court and say we're your refs for this game 7

Dolan will panic because of failing to meet expectations (which would be getting swept by Boston) and intervene. Rather than addressing the actual issues (depth, coach, time), he’ll force some awful trade to win “now”, gutting the core. Or maybe they’ll draft Bron Jr. and then sign LeBron (Dolan LOVES big names on the decline), which will be a complete train wreck in the locker room.

They won’t make the playoffs again for another decade. If you’re lucky they’ll get swept in the first round next year.

Pathetic franchise and the GOAT owner Dolan will not disappoint.
Dolan is an idiot but he's not gonna fire Leon Rose and bring back Isiah.

The depth isn't that bad. The depth would be more than fine if they had OG, Randle, Mitch and Bogey. Thibs doesn't want to play 11 guys anyway, especially in the playoffs.

The coach is fine. The Knicks got a 2 seed out of a play-in contender roster. Thibs has done an amazing job and gotten more out of this group than any other coach should.

I agree signing an old big name would be terrible, like it is when most teams sign them and I'm amazed NBA GMs still give up assets, never mind gutting their future, to pay over the hill stars ridiculous money. But I don't think Leon will do that. The ideal scenario is to move Randle but I doubt anyone in the league wants him. Regardless Thibs has been fine, the depth has been fine and if OG doesn't get hurt the Knicks win this series easy

Normally I ignore your incessant (and quite pathetic) baiting trolling so I'm not replying to you but to the thread:

Randle had a freak injury where he fell on his shoulder, not Thibs related.
Batum dove onto Bogie's wrist which was also a freak injury, not Thibs related.
Embiid literally yanked Mitch down from the air while laying on the court violently, leading to his ankle injury, again not Thibs related.

but OG was hamstring which is usually an overuse injury

I think the flip side to that argument is if they didn't go balls to the wall, they just would've probably lost to Philly.

But the next rd you're playing the Pacers who are like the 16th best team in the NBA. You've got a decent margin for error here, especially late game if everyone is healthy. At that point I think it clearly would've made sense to reset and get more guys in the rotation. Burks can't play vs the Pacers? Well, looks like he can based on game 3. This isn't the 2017 Warriors here who are just going to roast every marginal roleplayer.

Would that have saved OG? Who knows, but coaching vs Indy like every game is game 7 of the finals definitely seems wrong to me.

Do a little tampering, tell bran if he opts out and signs with them they’ll make Bronny #1, do some sort of sign and trade to get out from under collins or murphy. Profit?

Internet says Bronny tore up the NBA Draft combine. Name plus terrible draft means he’s gonna be hyped as a lottery pick, maybe #1 in no time. No way rest of NBA just lets Lakers pick him when they can leverage the situation.

Seems like the move is for ATL to trade the #1 to LAL for everything they can legally trade at this point. If they want to keep Bron happy, that's the price

freak injuries are also a thibs thing, because a guy playing 40 minutes per game instead of 32 is going to be subjected to 25% more injury-causing incidents. maybe more because of fatigue effects etc. it's much harder to get injured when you're sitting on the bench, and then those extra freak incidents are happening to less important players.

yes not every single thing is his fault, like if a guy breaks his **** 5 minutes into a game, but it accumulates based on his load management philosophy. live with the results

midget t-rex with a bad heart averaging 4.8 points on 36% shooting on a mediocre team ... seems legit

sounds like you're advocating that tibs should not play his starters whatsoever because it's better they don't play voluntarily than don't play because hurt
