Just gotta keep the defensive intensity up

All of this is inflating individual players because the Heat have been playing a zone a vast majority of the time.

Martin alone cannot stop Randle (Bam however can with max effort and did so in G3).

And Gabe Vincent sure as hell can’t hold Brunson to a damn thing. Every time Brunson blows by Vincent he’s been swarmed by 2 other Heat defenders in the zone & the Knicks have been bricking the kick outs. Or Brunson get’s trapped by three defenders and has to force up an off balance shot in a clogged paint.

This is all aggregated stats by someone inflating the individual parts to spite the sum of it cultivated by a great coach. That or they just don’t know basketball beyond what’s on paper.

I haven't seen this type of analysis from you since them Tommy Bilfiger dayz.😁
 
It would be such a Knicks way to lose if we were to just get beat down the rest of this series.

We’ve had such an amazing season and have grown so much as an organization I feel it would just be for naught if we go out the same way we always have.

For better or worse in this series, if we’re going to go down we have to go down fighting for me to truly believe in the metamorphosis.

Fam we dont have to do this.

This was our best season in a decade, and it happened in a way that its repeatable and something to build upon.

Got a great contract in Brunson, a decent contract in Randle, a bunch of young talent, and a ton of picks.

We can be disappointed in losing this series without losing sight of how the Knicks are finally in a place that most fan bases would kill to be in.
