We’ve just gotta keep tightening up, shake it off, and play better next time.

total shitshow all around for everyone. Mikal probably had the least worst night.

I couldn’t disagree more. No top team gets pulverized at home by one of its main competitors and mails in the rematch

Please, Strat… for the love of God, at the 6:12 mark of the first quarter with the game tied at 9-9 Brown showed what the game strategy was” subbed and went with Mitch/Huck/McCullar/Shamet and Brunson.

That’s running up the white flag. He didn’t have 3 of his top 8 available including 2 very important starters and Hart SHOULD have had the night off as he clearly wasn’t near 100%.

Of course Thibs likely would have played Brunson , Bridges, Hart , and Mitch all 45 minutes trying to win a February game.

I am surprised as a sports bettor once OG/ KAT and Deuce were out, they had zero chance against Detroit after they had gotten spanked the night before, you didn’t unload on Detroit.

Detroit is a very good team with a superior defense. Their offense and lack of shooting will be their Achille’s heel in the playoffs.

But tonight when you are starting Diawara and Huk and Mc Cullars are 2 of your first 3 off the bench AND you have to play Ckarkson meaningful minutes due to lack of bodies with a pulse, I don’t know what you expected.

The Celtics coming back to beat the Heat really irks me.

For those who watched the whole thing, did any Knicks do anything positive at any point in the game?

I wouldn’t single out one specific player positively or negatively. The team played with composure and patience for about 8-10 minutes and we were close, despite the shots not falling. We were finding open shots, getting stops and defending fine. Then Detroit flipped the script and we had no response, plan B. I don’t know if we had plan A to begin with. Plenty of substitutions don’t mean new strategy. Then Brunson came back started playing hero ball. The end.
