And I'm sure Brunson would have taken a few more if he didn't turn the ball over too.

Time to regroup and for Brunson to share the ball

Also someone needs to tell Mike Brown that McBride and Brunson cannot guard CJ; Keep Hart on CJ

Again again I guess

Bad coaching move and I’m a deuce fan. But CJ needed more length on him to guard that very predictable and every 35+ step back move we all seen coming, except Mike Brown. I rather see Mikal on CJ.

If OG wasn't superman tonight on offense this wouldn't have been close. Jalen should apologize to him and the team

I will give credit that the Knicks at least used other guys to bring the ball up more. That said, every time I saw the ball in Alvarado or McBride's hands I was thinking there goes 6-7 second of absolutely letting the opponent rest and us being forced into a rushed shot as shot clock winds down. It's nuts. Atlanta is doing nothing to cause that. It's our our knuckleheaded-ness

I never ever expected or thought that 34 year old McCollum would be the most clutch and best player in the series.

Mike Brown took way too long to find what worked. And it was too late. Coaching change will have to be made after all of his weird panic lineups. He’s coaching for his job the rest of the series.

Bye bye Mike Brown
Great guy but wow. Thibs is somewhere doing pushups right now.

NO KAT NO RINGS

If JB don’t pass, NO BLING

I always thought Billie Donovan would look nice in orange and blue.

Brown has been hunting all season to find what works and still not there.

Pass. I think the game has moved him by. We need a young innovator, not a re-thread

Great minds think alike. Can we fire Brown mid-playoffs and hire Donovan?

KAT had less shots than OG Jalen Deuce and only one more than Clarkson. 3more shots than Hart.

I don’t think that’s the formula. And we knew that BEFORE the series started.

His one super skill is offense and shooting.

Do we have a Mike Brown problem or a roster problem or both 🤔

We're too small and too predictable. I'm not sure how often we need to see Brunson/OG iso and get trapped.

But I was skeptic of playoff-Mike Brown and now I'm a full-on non-believer. Dude is seems to be scared and frozen in indecision

Can’t win a chip with one way players at two of the most critical positions. Especially center. If you can play a guard against a center, I don’t care if Superman was our coach. Can’t win.
