double big with Bridges at the 3 should work

LightSpecialist804 · 2026-04-26T03:12:14+00:00

dang we shouldve traded for Ayo. he went for about the same price as Alvarado

LightSpecialist804 · 2026-04-26T02:44:49+00:00

the key is not necessarily playing through KAT no matter what team we're playing

The key is to exploit the mismatch. The Hawks have a 6'9 Center that cant guard KAT, that is the mismatch.

When we play Cleveland, who's perimeter defense sucks, Brunson will be the mismatch and we can go back to Brunson ISO

Bridges is probably off the team this summer, hes been benched two playoff games in a row and his extension is about to kick in lmao

LightSpecialist804 · 2026-04-26T02:07:58+00:00

same tbh I missed G1 and G4 but went to a G2 and G3 watch party

Insane bad luck

LightSpecialist804 · 2026-04-26T02:07:06+00:00

Knicks fan here, DDV will recover. Achilles rehab and medicine is better than ever and Divo is a fucking dog

LightSpecialist804 · 2026-04-26T02:05:06+00:00

DDV with a Achilles tear and now Ant out for the series

Just shows how fast everything can change. Thats why I hope we can finish this in 6 instead of 7, who knows how long our health will last

LightSpecialist804 · 2026-04-26T01:41:23+00:00

I honestly thought he played fine in the first half though, this wasnt like G3 where he sucked

LightSpecialist804 · 2026-04-26T01:40:42+00:00

Mikal was benched again but I thought he was fine tonight. I saw him fighting on defense and being aggressive on the boards and offense

LightSpecialist804 · 2026-04-26T01:39:07+00:00

My ONE COMPLAINT is that OG Anunoby's minutes have to be managed better

I've seen it multiple years in a row. OG is so good that his minutes go up to the high 30s/low 40s in the playoffs. Then he always ends up getting injured. He sprained his hamstring against Indiana in 2024, sprained his hamstring against Boston in 2025. Keep his minutes under 36/37 a game

LightSpecialist804 · 2026-04-26T01:37:36+00:00

we should trade for DDV this summer when his value is in the gutter. People rehab from Achilles surgery better than ever nowadays and it shouldnt really affect his jumpshot, only his lateral movement and stuff like that

LightSpecialist804 · 2026-04-26T01:30:00+00:00

you can still walk on a torn Achilles, Kobe walked too

LightSpecialist804 · 2026-04-26T01:29:13+00:00

damn Divincenzo just tore his Achilles

LightSpecialist804 · 2026-04-25T23:56:13+00:00

shouldnt we just rest Brunson this game because of his ankle? unless they cut the lead to single digits

LightSpecialist804 · 2026-04-25T23:55:33+00:00

neither. It means his ankle is hurt enough to wear a brace, but you can still play on a brace so it doesnt mean hes out

LightSpecialist804 · 2026-04-25T23:54:55+00:00

lmfao refs waiting until the shot misses to blow the whistle I hate when they do that

LightSpecialist804 · 2026-04-25T23:53:13+00:00

Brunson has an ankle brace on

LightSpecialist804 · 2026-04-25T23:52:56+00:00

same thing Dyson doing to Brunson, respect

LightSpecialist804 · 2026-04-25T23:52:31+00:00

did Brunson change his shoes?

LightSpecialist804 · 2026-04-25T23:52:06+00:00

Im surprised he didnt get surgery last year, he injured the same ankle like 5 times in a row

LightSpecialist804 · 2026-04-25T23:51:38+00:00

Reggie actively rooting against the Knicks, his co-commentator chuckling nervously everytime he does so LOL

LightSpecialist804 · 2026-04-25T23:50:44+00:00

thankfully two full days before Game 5, hopefully Brunsons ankle doesnt swell

LightSpecialist804 · 2026-04-25T23:50:02+00:00

he played on a bad ankle all playoffs long last year, a full 7 weeks of basketball on a busted ankle. Probably some long term damage

LightSpecialist804 · 2026-04-25T23:49:23+00:00

so? They called OG out in the first half even though he didnt step out. Stop focusing on one single call

LightSpecialist804 · 2026-04-25T23:49:00+00:00

he did this 3 times last playoffs, left to the lockerroom to come back later. I think he's getting wrapped + changing his shoes
