[huerter]

You mean Jesper Fast?

Nice work, Sherlock.

Refs gave us a lifeline yesterday lol, but the mid 3 are getting confident against these Heat and we were able to shoot them out of their zone. Hopefully we clean some things up defensively and we can get IQ/Grimes going too.

Just need 1 in Miami and we'll have HCA back

 

[mrmovies779]

I see the can't defend or shoot Knicks have showed up for game 3

Too much complaining from the Knicks.

Too much complaining from the Knicks.

In fairness, they are getting jobbed.

It wouldn’t be such a problem if the refs gave the Knicks the same calls at MSG.

 

[mrmovies779]

Knicks are definitely winning the whining game.Shut up and play through the frustration guys

Meh, they got a Brunson 3 last game when it was clearly before Hartsenstein got fouled, plus they missed a clear Heat shot that hit the rim, and they called it an air ball.

Not really..Heat are out hustling them all over the court.

That was two. They got those breaks in the 4th quarter. The rest of the game was pretty terrible.

I’m not saying the Knicks aren’t playing stupid, but they aren’t getting anything, while every touch is going against them. It’s a typical home NBA game.

Looks like the knicks were exploring Miami Nightlife the last two days.

 

[17futurecap]

The 3 point shooting was hilarious.

 

[East Coast Bias]

Knicks aren’t a great shooting team to begin with, but the playoff shooting has been abysmal. You can’t shoot 28% from 3 in this nba and win

Hopefully we are due for some positive regression.

 

[mrmovies779]

Knicks are in trouble...their shooting is embarrassing.

 

[17futurecap]

Knicks 3 point defense is non-existent

 

[17futurecap]

Feels bad man, players hurt, bench horrible. 32 million combined in DNP in Rose and Evan.

 

[NCRanger]

Officiating horrific again. Not the primary reason the Knicks lost, but it did take players out of the game.

 

[mrmovies779]

Heat deserve the 3-1 lead..they're out working us on both sides of the court.

 

[RangerBoy]

Dolan's basketball team is one win away from summer. I don't hate the Knicks but anything which brings misery to Dolan is ideal. There was speculation about the coach last fall. Some members of the front office such as World Wide Wes aren’t big fans of Thibs. He thought he was about to get fired especially after the loss to Dallas at home.

 

[East Coast Bias]

This team has a ceiling and a 2nd round exit isn’t bad if that’s what it ends up. If you asked me that in January, i would say that’s probably optimistic for this bunch. Just hurts to be losing to the Heat.

It’s all positive progress. Some moves need to be made this summer regardless. But it’s hard to win in this league without elite talent and the Knicks are definitely short on that.

 

[17futurecap]

Great bounce back after the first, they looked ready to pack it in.

Barely hung on, but live to fight another day. Shout out Mitch making enough free throws.

Still feels like it ends Friday, but win a road game, and go from there.

Great on Grimes and Brunson playing all 48, they needed both.

Desperately need a good Josh Hart game.

 

[Irishguy42]

Jalen Brunson is undoubtedly, unequivocally, and unsurprisingly....HIM

 

[East Coast Bias]

Incredible. All series long Bam has been doing this.

 

[ponzu4u]

How can you not enjoy this man?

 

[JimmyG89]

Just moving screen after moving screen. I know the league loves offense, but man do they need to crack down on this happening everywhere. Players will get hurt/injured because of this.

There’s a lot of gray area with a lot of the stuff that goes on. even the push offs are somewhat ok. There’s levels of gaining back some space. Judgement calls.

But this stuff is blatant and obvious. It’s a clear violation of the rule. There’s no explanation for this other than letting the Heat get away with it and deciding it’s no longer a rule.
