Wow finally a post game thread for a Knicks win!

10 points in 3 minutes for Jeremy Sochan. He was the difference maker tonight.

If the Knicks win the finals the PGT being posted within 5 minutes would be an improvement

The only reason this series is going six games is Mike Brown. Took him long enough to fully unleash KAT and OG. Snyder just stole 2 of those games.

Knicks absolutely have a good enough team to make the NBA Finals, just going to be if Mike Brown can get them there.

Mods can suck my dick from the back. Post the fucking postgame thread on time.

Knicks won….so I guess less than 300 comments and less than 600 upvotes 

A loss woulda been 5k and 2k comments

First 3 games are starting to feel like filler

CJ McCollum got outscored by:

• Josh Hart
• Mikal Bridges
• JEREMY SOCHAN

This is your villain?

you know it was bad for the hawks tonight when dyson daniels was the best 3pt shooter on their team

Jalen Brunson

r/nba get mccollums dick out ya mouth. prolly fuming Brunson got 39 at will

McCollum got clamped hardcore

fuck all of them brunson haters. called him a midget and he dropped 39.

hawks 42 threepoint attempts vs knicks 26. Tony Bradley real playoff minutes. a lot went on during this game

Quiet on here tonight lol Knicks in 6

Karl Anthony Jokic

suck it /r/nba

Jalen Brunson is that fuckin guy

I cannot believe the entire NBA community went into mass hysteria after Game 3, including this very fanbase. Becky Hammon, the Mikal crying story, CJ being a brand new villain, Brunson trade talks, etc. I know we were all mad, but in reality both Hawks wins were by one point and enabled by 2025 Pacers-type mechanics.

CJ McCollum got outscored by Jeremy Sochan in a playoff game.

Yes, read that again and understand it.

Jalen bronson best game

Be anticlimactic if Knicks just plow through now.

cruising in new york

Mike Brown turning KAT into baby Jokic and getting OG more involved is what turned things around.

this series should’ve been a sweep ngl

CJ McCollum with a game that would alert the FBI

Buminga had everyone fooled with game 3

What a game from Brunson 

Been a real bad 2 games for Atlanta here.

Dont know how they can get back into this series sans a hot shooting game.

Jalen Johnson sorry ass transition player

Classic playoff Brunson game

KNICKS IN 6

That was some beautiful basketball… Dr. Naismith would be proud.

Nice to not have McCollum score 25. Hope we close it out in Atlanta

It’s like the Knicks need to struggle to realize how good they are. It makes for good entertainment but man it’s stressful sometimes haha.

B

PLAY ZACC OVER KISPERT DAMMIT

Let’s close this shit out on Thursday. Bury them for good and take a fucking breather lol

Craziest thing about this game to me was how Risacher didn’t see a minute of the court even on garbage time. Complete bust, Bronny legit might have a better career…

I know when the Knicks lost games ²⁄₃ we had a week-long media discourse about how horrible Brown’s rotations were because he played some minutes without KAT/Brunson together and didn’t give Mikal Bridges a quick hook.

And maybe it’s not worth it because we got fucking demolished, can’t hit a shot, can’t hit a free throw, and still can’t defend the same backscreen action… but holy shit, what Quin did with the rotation tonight was malpractice. Beyond baffling.

Gabe Vincent played 23 minutes. Kispert played 14. Tony Bradley played 13. They were playing together for extended minutes during “competitive” play. And we were playing CJ at the same time too. How the fuck are you supposed to defend with that rotation? How are you supposed to score? That’s a rotation that would get run out of the gym by the Wizards. Legitimately the worst rotation we’ve played all season.

For context, Dyson played 25 minutes. Kuminga played 17. WHAT THE FUCK?

• Kispert should never play another minute as a hawk. He’s ³⁄₁₅ in this series and 0/8 from 3 and is a traffic cone and walking and-one. And he was horrible all season.
• Vincent is a seriously negative player. I understand giving him a 4 minute run, but it’s the playoffs so you don’t even need to do that.
• Bradley was not on a roster a couple weeks ago. His best career season was when he was traded mid season mid season to a 22-win Thunder team and played 18 minutes a game for a 22 game stretch.

Shorten the damn rotation. Let JJ/Dyson/Naw handle the ball. If you must extend the rotation, at least give Gueye some minutes. Try out Buddy if you must. Try out Risacher if you must. Insanity.

Hox

cj mccollum is 34 years old

BING BONG

I know this series ain’t over, but I’m more scared of the sixers with a healthy Embiid than I am of a streaky Celtics team that’s also thin. And I’m talking more size and weight compared to what OG , KAT, and Mitch bring. 

Sixers have a  crazy backcourt and 2 wings in Oubre and PG that can match up with OG and Brunson. And no way KAT punking Embiid like he does teams without a real 5 like Toronto, Cavs, and Atl.

I hope Ben Stiller is able to celebrate this win without being dragged into random political drama like last time

The kuminga special

Took long enough

It’d be the most Knicks thing ever if this goes to Game 7.

Maybe idk the hawks were Lucky this wasn’t a sweep

Karl Anthony Towns is the best center in the league currently.

damn knicks fans are angry

JALEN BRUNSON LEADING ALL PLAYOFF SCORERS

Remember when we were bad

Love these quiet threads x

Why do the Hawks play CJ significant minutes when he is on an expiring contract and their chances to win it all don’t change from 0% whether he plays or not. Other than increasing his free agency value and triggering Knicks fans, isn’t it better to develop and get playoff experience for the talent that will be there next year?

This was the best Knicks ball movement I’ve seen all year. Like I couldn’t believe my eyes, KAT was launching it out and we swung it passed everyone for a crisp corner three, several times this game. It’s just not what you are used to seeing with these guys all generally thriving with the ball in their own hands, but wow. Mike Brown if this is your vision then I’ll be your guide dog

Now if Knicks can win Game 6 on Thursday, it’d be great.

What is Atlanta going to do with Risacher? Are they even picking up the team option?

I’m incredibly behind. Had no idea Sochan was even on this team

What was the smallest Knicks lead in the second half? They absolutely controlled this game

For the love of god, can somebody tell Shaq that hawks don’t even sound like that

YERRRR

Kuminga truthers have gotten very very quiet

It’s crazy the Hawks beat them so bad it looked like the series was over but it was just 2-1 and now it’s 3-2

Bill Simmons actually entertained an email from a listener saying that CJ was Dame with bad PR

BTA

It does seem like this Knicks team lives and dies by Brunson, though, which is….exciting…lol

The lone blemish in Onsi Saleh’s tenure is trading Luke Kennard for Gabe Vincent lol.

That didn’t make much sense at the time and we could sure as fuck use him now.

so 30pts victory with mikal 7pts and shoot 6 times

trade him for depth + some dawgness, knicks bros? we can make it happen in offseason!
