Doesn't need to be any finger pointing. The team has not played well, the team has shot terribly and they can turn all that around and I think they will, they have all year. I wish I was there to give them a standing O and urge them on

When D.Rose join the Knicks, the Knicks had a 11-15 record.
D.Rose came off the bench as a Knicks in regular season.
The Knicks 2nd unit lineup, lead by D.Rose always BOUNCED back to keep the Knicks in the game.
However, the Knicks announcers, writers, and head-coach always gave the success of a win to Randle, or Barrett, or coach Thibs. In the postseason Knicks win in Game-2 the Knicks finally gave D.Rose all the credit for the win, when Bullocks & Burks 4th quarter performance were outstanding in increasing the one point lead the 2nd unit bench players gave us.
Recall .. Barrett received NO playing-time in the 4th quarter of Game-2 WIN !!!

Seems we are a bit poser on this series. Fake ass knick fans acting the fool is not the real deal.
Tough guy thing did not work. Knicks did not intimidate the hawks.
I like RJ’s resolve but calling out berman (who I don’t love) out when he knows damn well he has a job to do in that manner was not becoming.
All I can say is we better win because all this talk is spitting in the wind if they don’t back it up. In a few days it all blows over and we can go back to “We need a star” or stop our feet hissy fit to “I want Cade! We DESERVE CADE”..........and the simple
“Throw in IQ as a sweetener” to make it happen!

I’m human, 1-3 its not a question of wanting to believe. I’m not confident. Don’t make me a bad fan. I’m not getting paid. I’m watching, I’m cheering and will continue until its over. Either tonite or when they hoist a chip, I’m cheering!!!!

Remember when Spurs hip checked Nash and beat the suns? That was tough basketball. That was resolve over talent. I expect a Thibs team to show some of that but not with words, but deeds. Still have to put the ball in the basket.

You could be upset over a disgusting Knick fan spitting on a player in MSG.
But u cant get upset bout Knicks fans comment after watching Game-3 and Game-4
In the 2nd half of both games the Knicks team showed they don't belong in the playoffs !!!

It's been frustrating because as much as this team may have over achieved this year, they have under achieved this series against the Hawks.

Lol false the Knicks most definitely deserve to be in the playoffs we finished 10 games over 500 . We finished with the same record as the hawks and swept them in the regular season. Julius Randle had a fantastic season. Just cause he has a off series so far we don’t deserve to be in the playoffs??? I guess the bucks never deserved to be in the playoffs till this year lol dude come on I understand being upset about the past two games and our players under performance, missing shots we normally make.. but to say we aren’t a playoff team come on dog you better get used to it because this team is good and only going to get better we’ll be in the playoffs next year as long as are core players healthy.

If you can’t get excited about this team and the future of this franchise what more do you want? This is a great time to be a fan!

I give the Knicks team BIG-PROPS for their success in the regular season ..
Thibs did not experiment during the regular season.
D.Rose & Taj Gibson guidance in the 2nd unit bench players provided 40 to 50 points off the bench.
And their DEFENSE were outstanding.

In both games in Atlanta, the Knicks performance in the 2nd half of each game put a capital A in awful.
In all 4 games our Knicks performance look like the previous season Knicks.

Game-5 could turn out to be another Thibs experimental-mystery for Knicks fans .. But not for the Hawks fans, coach Nate had a Game-Plan for all 4 games.
They say the TRUTH hurts .... Our Knicks has become a winning regular season team, but the postseason .....

I hear you, learning to win in the postseason is a process esp when your star player is a PF. Love rose but you can’t expect him to carry a team at his age and health record he’s a fire power off the bench though . Hopefully thibs makes trey play some defense tonight .
