How much did he play in 2nd half?

Didn't notice too busy screaming at Hart.

Don’t have the exact number of minutes he did play 30 minutes tonight and Thibs had him on a 19-20 minute limit. It was an elimination game and Mitch was why the game was close up to halftime maybe make an exception to policy.

Great run. I expected a 4/5 game loss against Boston.

Sucks to lose to the Pacers, but hopefully we'll get past them next time.

My main hope is that Thibs has seen this series that he can trust his bench.

Against most of the regular season league it’ll be OK, not playoffs though

I think we were 7th lowest turnover team in the NBA- Josh was the secondary guy all year and Brunson's top pick and roll partner. Maybe not ideal, nut was our formula all year. Taking him out of the starting lineup has a consequence. Mikal stepped into that role and it was bad in Gm 4 and 6. Hart was also bad tonight so there are no solutions.

Team really needs another ballhandler or two in the primary lineup.

Thanks. We lost this series in Game 1. Between our missed FTs, Nesmiths's hot three point shooting and Haliburton's lucky shot we were in a mental hole from which we never really recovered. (Calling it luck isn't sour grapes because the odds of Nesmith hitting six straight treys is 0.38 to the sixth power plus Haliburton's shot that hits the heel and goes to the top of the backboard was just cursed.). I'd like to wish you good luck against OKC but I'm not big enough person to do that...

Yeah. Knicks do not have a top line passer or ball handler, and guys will and did get exposed at the high level and under pressure.

That and the KAT question.

I can't stop laughing at this! I am from Indianapolis. I was a season ticket holder of the Pacers and Colts. But I grew tired of snow and cold weather and moved to Tampa fuil time 3 yrs ago. The Pacers haven't won anything in the NBA, but for Knick fans to call out Pacer celebrations is a bit disingenuous isn't it? The Pacer fan being assaulted with trash went viral. We will see what OKC is about against us. They should be favored, but the Pacers have been underestimated all post season. I've been reading your forum for awhile. For the most part, you guys considered beating Boston the key to winning the ECF. Who knows how things would've turned out with a different outcome to game 1?

It was a memorable season and one we won't forget.

Sucks the season will be most remembered for the game one choke. It will forever follow and torment these players and this hc forever.

We're good but just not good enough.

I think Game 1 hurt a lot. This doesn't really hurt that much - this is what happens to teams who don't play serious enough every night. This is a good team, but too often found themselves doing shot that they were better than. After blowing game 1 they had to respond in Game 2. Losing 2 at home meant you were playing off the back foot and running uphill.

Yea reality set in after falling down 0-2 and then 1-3. This doesn’t sting that bad tonight.

I don’t want to dog these guys too much because this run was special. Jalen had a series winner, the Boston comebacks were absolutely insane. And the DET series was full of crazy ****. Best run in a quarter century and it was exhilarating nearly every game.

But the fact is we got outplayed minute by minute for much of every series including the ones we won. It wasn’t exactly a ringing endorsement of this roster or coach even though we scrapped out Ws and got far.

So it’s just a weird feeling now. I want to be proud of these guys for the run but I’m disappointed in them at the same time.

He didn’t, you did.

I play devils advocate all the time and we all have differing opinions. No different.

I think im not that upset about tonight, but Im also not feeling that proud of the team. Its a team that couldn't stay locked in consistently all year.

Props to OG who played a heckuva game.

I don't think it's unreasonable for year two of KAT, Bridges, and a healthy OG to be better than this one was.

Yea last year it was easy to be proud in the loss. This year it seems like we just beat ourselves and lost a very winnable series.

Funny thing is if we lose to Boston in a hard fought 7 game series in an alternate reality we probably feel better than we do tonight.

It’s not unreasonable at all. Plenty of precedent to support staying the course. This team clearly wasn’t the apex of cohesion or teamwork and those things only come with years together.
