@IanBegley Can you ask him if he grabbed his hamstring because he was ashamed he airballed, or if he airballed because his hamstring hurt.

OG Anunoby had nine of Knicks’ 14 points in overtime. He hit 7 of 8 free throws and grabbed three rebounds in extra session. Strong finish for a player who was coming off a hamstring injury, playing for first time in roughly 2 weeks

@BigKnickEnergy_ We said this after game 1 last yr too this team had 9 days to prepare and came out looking sorry This team ain't got what it takes, and this coach DAMN SURE doesn't

It’s a long series

Mike Brown not going double big against a small team that struggles to score in transition... I'm so tired of this bum.

@BigKnickEnergy_ Mike Brown losing us this game by playing these dumb Brunson-Deuce-Shamet lineups

Knicks look like they have had four days of rest, whereas Philly looks like they played a game 7 just two days ago.

@krispursiainen I don't see why that'd make any sense for the Celtics? They got a ton of room for improvement since they own all their picks. Sengun+Tari for Brown doesn't make them better.

Nobody yell at me. Is there a Sengun+Sheppard for Brown configuration that makes sense? Udoka has wanted him down there, right? Maybe Eason S+T involved?

@BenRitholtzNBA Mike Brown has made adjusments since that disasterclass. Let's see if he gets it right first try next rd.

Man if Knicks had somewhere to hide Brunson and Brunson wasn’t in Australian jail and Knicks had decent defense that could hold down CJ we could be up 90.

Props to coach for adjusting mid-series. Please let's start off making the right choices against Boston.

@IanBegley Any changes on the Head Coaching front? I beg

We’ll talk to Mike Brown in a couple minutes but have heard no changes coming to NYK starting lineup for Game 4

@TheHoopCentral Couldn't you just type "CJ McCollum in these playoffs:" ????

CJ McCollum over the last 3 games this series vs. New York: 27.0 PPG 3.7 RPG 2.7 APG 50.8% FG 39.1% 3P 34.8 MPG

@Ravali1978 - Under Brown we're not even going deep in the playoffs - We lose to all athletic teams now instead - We're losing against a lower seed - Brunson still plays hero ball - Starters look worn down in april now

@knicks_verse Mike Brown was brought in to: -stop failing inbound pass in deep playoffs. -team being capable to fire power teams who only shoot 3s (pacers or miami). -beat teams who are below us in the standings. -reduce iso/thibs ball in playoffs. -not wear down our starters to may/june.

Mike Brown was brought in to; - Maximize KAT - Improve 3pt defense - Have better rotations - Play with more pace - Give players clarity on what their roles are - and so on.. So far, the Knicks look worse in all of those aspects. Is it time for some uncomfortable conversations..?

@BenRitholtzNBA I hate to be that guy... Update pls?

@knicks_verse Naw stop

Let’s play some tankers baby! 🫡

@krispursiainen Mike Brown can't even run a play to try and get a shot off. Get him outa here already

Knicks get Jalen Brunson the ball with six seconds left, but he drives into two defenders and turns it over. Brutal end for New York, who falls down 1-2 in the series. Brunson airballed a late shot-clock middy with 16.4 seconds left. Then turned it over with 1.2.

Mike Brown can't even get them to run a play to get a shot off.

Free Thibs man

Mike Brown is a terrible coach, I've been saying this all regular season. Back then it was 'reactionary' Now we're watching it play out in real time.

@krispursiainen Mike Brown is dumb asf. Took him this long to make that adjustment... What a bum.

After five halves of the series, the Knicks switch Jalen Brunson off of CJ McCollum. Josh Hart’s assignment now. Hawks playing with pace and purpose. NY calls timeout to stop 8-0 run, capped by NAW 3-pointer off the glass. ATL 69, NYK 54. 9:48 3Q

@BenRitholtzNBA I've been saying all year we should have fired Mike Brown. Now we have to watch this mistake play out in the play-offs. What a waste of a season.

They simply do not lose that game if normal lineups are played. As bad as Brunson was. As many mistakes as they made. You guys KNOW how hesitant I am to blame the coach. That was absolutely inexplicable. And then to DOUBLE DOWN in the 2H. Really disgraceful stuff. I’m sorry.

I despise this coach. I despise this team. We're not going anywhere with this roster. Garbage.

@BigKnickEnergy_ Not a bad idea ngl

Trade everyone, build the team around Diawara 🤣 night folks see yall wednesday
