Cmon guys let’s go

I thought that was great coaching by Brown. Saving all those timeouts for the end of the game was a difference maker. 3 timeouts in a row in clutch time to make sure NY got good shots.

Many Knicks had key contributions. Was very satisfying. Overcame adversity

Miles needs to get his head out of his ass and Jose needs to ride pine. Shamet and clarkson were more effective

Og was huge, Jalen clutch and KAT was great when he wasn’t a dummy. Mikal played great d and hit his shots. Josh had a few series where he was scared to shoot but yet again after being hurt he comes in gets key rebounds and deflections and tough d on much longer Paul G

(5)(7)

Hint, Hint
Mike Brown is pretty conservative. He's going to stick with his playoff rotations as long as it's close.

If OG is out for anytime I expect an 8 man rotation with Deuce starting at the 2, Hart and Mikal at forward and Mitch, Jose, and Shamet coming off the bench.

Pissing me off

I know we joke about it a lot, but beginning of the 4th would have been a risk taking, genius level move by Brown that maybe Mazulla or Spoelstra would have pulled off to success for like 5+ min

I thought the play of the game was Oubre fouling Mikal at half court with 1:17 left. The Knicks were about to turn it over up 5, instead they got to reset, Brunson drew a foul and the Knicks went up seven. All the pressure went on Philly to score 3 times quick and get two stops, Knicks just had to run out the clock.

I'm thankful Philly didn't draw out the last 30 seconds fouling. Sorry guys who bet the over and the Knicks.

My first reason was Jose is ass as an actual PG

The second reason was Brunson was choking as a ball handler and the way Brown fixed that earlier was to pair Kolek next to him. He did it to end a number of games, but stopped doing it once Jose arrived. It was an effective solution to Brunson getting swarmed late in the game.

TYLER KOLEK why is he not getting burn with that second unit with Kat and Mikel they would cook with Kolek getting them easy looks
