Against Indy, we should consider having McBride and DDV pressure Haliburton full court to tire him out and to slow their offensive pace. On offense, I’m sure we’ll continue to use most of the clock and be deliberate in our attack, trying to probe for their several weaknesses and hoping to offensive rebound misses to keep possessions going for long periods.

We should win this in 5 if all our guys remain laser focused on preventing easy fast breaks and open three’s. We got this.

It's been years, but I remember that dudes out there used to smoke angel dust and wet (weed dipped in embalming fluid). I dunno if that's how they still get down but this is facts lmao

We had a saying, never take a blunt from a Philly/South Jersey smoker. Ever.


"i used to wild off embalming fluid."



Lmaoooooo I remember that. This is why Styles P started going off on them boys



"It must be the f*cking drugs. Smoke weed *****....drink liquor *****!!"

One of my boys hit a blunt laced with that mess. Dude was crawling in the bushes at 2am asking for soup. Never in my life will I understand why someone would smoke wet

I just watched Ric Puker say that Thibs doesn't put players in their natural sweet spot...um, really? The Knicks have a roster loaded with players having career years, literally the best years of their whole careers but he can't find players sweet spots?

Young veterans have gone from solid players to all-stars and all-nba players under his tutiledge but apparently he doesn't find their sweet spots...I guess they could be even better without Thibs getting in the way, right?

Young players have developed under him during his career at multiple stops, more than NY. Not just lottery pick talents but even late draft guys. Players with limited skills find a role and have long, successful careers under Thibs, some have even gotten accolades and post season honors, too.

He has taken players that appear as useless as possible while being an actual NBA player and his teams have won with them starting even to the ire of fans. We should hold that against him in practice but he squeezed the most out of a player that most couldn't.

It seems Thibs reputation isn't based on reality, it's based on people in the media regurgitating the same distorted perception of him over and over until everyone finally believes it.

I'm glad the team flushed those turds last night though because the anxiety on here was real af before the game tipped off. I wanted to hand out bro hugs and edibles to everyone who was going through it. Once the Knicks laid the hammer down early I knew they would pull through one way or another, they were not messing around.

Pacers will be a different animal but I expect the Knicks defense and rebounding to cause them serious issues to the point where I can see them blowing Indiana out in at least one of these games, if not two.

Isn't Josh Hart shooting like really good from the top of the three point arc? That's literally an example of Thibs ensuring that his players are being used to their strengths.

My one criticism of Thibs is that I'd let Hartenstein shoot mid range jumpers if he's open once or twice per game. Dude has nice touch.

One of the few real criticisms of him that has merit is he has such defined roles in his system that he doesn't use all of every player's abilities. Also his inflexibility within that system makes change slow to come.

The counter to that is to look how players and the team flourishes under his guidance. It's hard to argue against it but it also may be the reason why his teams have had ceilings less than the finals. To get the best against the best is the toughest of tasks.

PHI looks like they're about to run us out of the building in the 3rd after erasing that 22 point deficit. 71-61. We haven't scored in 3 mins. PHI is rolling. DDV makes a HUGE 3 to stop the bleeding.
