You missed it

That freeman guy wanted the Knicks to play obscure bench players and give up the game so they could be better in game 5

Thank god he not the coach

 

[farkie]

They are comparing this collapse to the Falcons losing in the Superbowl

Lmaooooooo

 

[southsil4lil]

Mitch Johnson getting too much blame

He's a hockey player his opinion doesn't matter.

There's not enough talk about how bad of a collapse that was for the Spurs. That was historical.

Again I ask..how the fuck you blow a 29pt lead....shooting 3 after 3 too. Like... why the fuck for?? Cot damn today's bball player is f'ing stupid.







Can't believe the Spurs just gave away the NBA championship to the fucking New York Knickerbockers!

How much you think falls on the coach? I think he should have slowed it down and stop the 3's unless you wide open

Smh. This is not cool man

 

[farkie]

This needs to end Saturday in 5 before someone gets killed

Exactly. Knicks just need to make an early run in the first half on Saturday because I’m sure that will fuck with the Spurs mentality.

Last night was demoralizing for that young squad.

The coach can only do so much.

Mitch Johnson was yelling at the players during that last shot where OG got the tip in to go to the right places but the players were not hearing him and fucking all the way up which led to the wide open shot for Brunson and took Wemby way out the paint for OG to get that tip.

Mitch Johnson definitely getting out coached but hes a young coach and will learn.

I'm sure he was also telling players to go in the paint but the Knicks defense was crazy in 2nd half and wasn't letting them. Wemby was defended extremely well.

And also on top of that, it's hard to get players to stop shooting 3s when the they just broke the record for most 3s made in a half just 15 mins ago.

All that to say, can Mitch Johnson do better? For sure. But would I blame the whole collapse on him if I'm the spurs? Not at all.

Smh. This is not cool man

That is so stupid what some fans are doing.

Fuck around and bring the villain arc out of this dude. Just the motivation he needs.

 

[Playmaker88]

They say Steph Curry definitely changed the game—now everyone’s launching more threes—but I blame the fucking coaches in the league. They need to get back to fundamentals and remember the value of high-percentage shots like we saw back in the day.

Analytics did this

He's playing in your face. Trust im him when it comes to this basketball shit. Beta my son.

If I’m the Knicks I might just punt this game 6 mins into the 3rd to try and get Deuce, Shamet, Clarkson into rhythm, give Hukporti some mins, and play kolek to see if I can use him at all the rest of the series

Nah its 2 days between games. This is the finals you fight until late 4th with your main guys. Hukporti and kolek shouldn't be difference makers in the finals. At least not these finals.

I don’t need to see bridges in the beginning of the 4th down 22

Nah you going to need a backup plan. Might as well test some new shit out. At least right now, Spurs seem to have an answer for your current gameplan.

Use this sunk cost time to build something new. If it doesn’t work fine, you losing this anyway.

You gotta get the miles McBrides of the world confident going into game 5

Lol if you're testing guys like hukporti and kolek cold in the finals to see if they can help you win 2 of the next 3 games you've already lost.

You don't try to build something new in the finals lmao.

McBride is already in the playoff rotation. Im talking about guys like hukporti and kolek like you suggested.

Freeman wants to see the Knicks starters in with the score being 85-61 going in the 4th Q

I mentioned McBride, Shamet, and Clarkson to establish a rhythm

I mentioned kolek to Be put in a better position for spot mins in the future as another ballhandler

I mentioned Hukporti so he can be more ready in case towns is in foul trouble again and Mitchell is almost unplayable for long stretches

Good day

Yeah fuck all that. Its not the regular season. This is the finals. Your top 6 have to figure it out or you lose period.

Way too late to be looking at your 7th, 8th and 9th guys to save you.

As he should.

You can't keep letting your team chuck up the 3 ball. No sets were called when the Knicks went on a 13-0 run. Just a timeout.

Where was the 45 set, high pick n roll that they ran against OKC.

Yea, he needs to eat this, along with Fox, all of them

Yea people saying he need to be fired in line that's a little extreme. Just felt like as a coach with a lead like that you have to play different especially if those 3's wasn't falling like before

 

[Knock_Twice]

You allow a 13-0, and you see your team is 1-7 from the 3pt, I believe but you don't call a set to get them to put 2 feet in the paint and score.


I don't think Vassell shot a jump shot in the 2nd half, everything was behind the line. Smh.
