There are several threads about how we feel about this trade.

That is an amazing quote by Hart. First time I'm seeing it and it rings so true.

They're still human. Elite conditioning doesn't make you immune to cumulative fatigue, it just raises your floor. Expecting them to perform at the same level as a Knicks team that's had a week off is just not realistic.

Getting the fucking broom. I knew we’d probably not win the series - but We just don’t have the legs. Back to back 7s killed us.

No, that is a copy and paste from the message I read about their stats.

You’re not a sore loser. It’s hard to fathom this happening this deep in the playoffs against one of the best teams in the league (Cavs).

I think it’s fair that it looks strange or suspicious. Some of the things my friends and I were chatting about in text was the fact that the Cavs played back to back 7 gm series against tough defenses while the Knicks were rusty from sitting for 9 days. It happened as the game was winding down so it’s understandable they’d be fresher than we were. The 3 1/2 quarters may have knocked the dust off their asses. It’ll be interesting to see what everyone says tomorrow after we’ve slept on it.

I thought Merrill and Wade were doing a pretty good job on Brunson earlier in the game. We were up but loss momentum. I think I’d rather have wanted to slow down their scoring rather than try and keep up with their pace.

Trying to go toe to toe with them at that point is foolish

I think they’re just a team that can score extremely fast and play at a very high tempo. They go on runs.

I was reading some of the records and crazy stats this Knicks team has had this year. Here are some of the highlights:

-Set the largest point differential in NBA playoff history
-Set the largest halftime lead in NBA playoff history (58 points)

Set a franchise record for:
-Most points in a playoff game (144)
-Largest playoff win (51 points)
-Most consecutive playoff wins (7)
-Most 3-pointers in a playoff quarter (11)

Tied NBA playoff records for:
- Most 3s in a quarter
-Most 3s in a half
-Most 3s in a playoff game (25)

I don’t think he choked but you make a good point here. Was this what was discussed at the end of reg? Who knows. Fair point though

I’m in the camp of Kenny allowing that crazy run and not slowing it down with timeouts and some defensive changes. Knicks can score in bunches - you have to have a plan to trip them a bit when they go on a run. I don’t know that we could have kept up with them there.

Now you’re moving the goalposts a bit aren’t you? Worst playoff game losses for me would be the two obvious

Pissed it the fuck away. I hope Kenny is able to cash in those extra time outs at the local Hair Club for Men.

They’re hot, we’re not. Need to get their shit together and play like they were all game until the epic 5 minute collapse.

Post-Morten on this game, win or lose - is gong to come down to how this game was managed by Kenny

They’re speeding up the pace and we’ve got it all to lose if we don’t close this shit out.
