They really went at him hard with that ****. Like trying to get him to badmouth his coach.

Saw that.
Yet no mention of what Carlisle did wrong.

Yeah that so wild.

And the Knicks have played kinda ****ty all around too.

Talk of Thibs for coach of the decade.

Indy forfeits the remaining games, admitting they are a just a team of wanna-be;s.

I just come here for Todd's posts.

Per Shams the Knicks have put on hold ALL Kat for KD trade talks until Kat’s next poor performance.

Great win. We win the next one and it will be as if those first two games never happened.

Brunson has got to cut down on the turnovers. He had at least 4 bad passes that directly lead to Indy fastbreak points. He has got to be better, and Bridges needs to hit a damn 3.

Play McBride, Shumpert, and Wright more next game. Give the starters more rest.

Trust the Process

And another 2 points erased on fantom travel which would have put us up 6.

In fairness, he took about 5 steps for that one.

Brunson/Mikal combined 12-36 and 2-11 from 3 and we steal 1 on road.

My fandom must be blinding me — watched replay and thought it was normal Kat drive with only 4.5 steps.

OG Anunoby kept us in it when we went down 20.

Nothing about this Knicks run makes sense which is why I don’t put it past them to win this series after starting 0-2 at home

Didn’t really feel him after first few minutes but he was tough early.

Props to Rick Carlisle for added his GOONS to the rotation to counter Mitch. I still think deuce is a better start option but Mitch was the only player (in my opinion) hart wouldn’t mind coming off the bench for. Reduces locker room issues. So good move by coach.

Mitch forces Indy to play goons and reduce the number of shooters on the floor for Indy. 5 and out not working against the twin towers. They don’t want to give up offensive rebounds.

Thibs was losing and just made a critical chess move over Rick Carlisle.

I believe Thibs found his 9 man rotation. Let’s hope this is permanent.

Starting Mitch did what it needed to do. Their offense was contained overall and we played them even during the starters mins.

Forget rest.

Give the team more guard defenders
