Remember how we were all expecting our FG% to go down? Well, it did. It went from 76.3% to 67.1%. Unreal efficiency. Absolutely unreal.
This young team just came back from being down 2 to 3. We started off the series going down 0 to 2. And yet, we perserved and won the damn thing. I saw a lot of people calling this Pacers team soft earlier on in these playoffs (and, to their credit, some Knicks fans defended us from that moniker). It is definitely true that we are an offensive-minded team. It's definitely true that our defense is often suspect. But this team ain't soft. A soft team doesn't come back from 2-0 or 3-2. A soft team doesn't win a game 7 in the freaking Garden.
Haliburton also got a lot of crap earlier on for not looking for his shot enough? How did he do in the first game 7 he played in? 26 points on 10/17 shooting, 6/12 from 3, 6 assists and 4 boards. Not bad for someone making his playoff debut.
I will come back and talk about the rest of our team in a separate post. I just wanted to highlight Hali's play tonight because he's the known that receives the most criticism.
For now, though, I want to give it up to the Knicks fans. I want to give it up to the Knicks fans in MSG and several great Knicks posters in this very thread (cgf, Capn'O, dakomish, Im Coming Home, Chuck Everett, KnixtapeH20, Maury2423, DaGawd and others). There were a couple of Knicks posters who said some wild **** (and I will highlight one of them in a separate post) but for the majority of them, the Knicks fans in here were great.
And I also want to give it up to New York's players.
Alec Burks has my respect. He went from not playing at all in the first 3 games to becoming one of New York's biggest scoring threats. He was amazing tonight.
Donte DiVincenzo also has my respect. Yes, I do believe that he starts **** at times. He's a chippy player and chippy players are gonna pull some **** at times, if only to get the crowd energized and give their team momentum. But he was absolutely tremendous tonight. 39 points in a game 7? Yeah, that's just amazing. Donte and Burks combined for 65 of New York's 103 points. That's over 60% of their team's scoring.
Joe Hart always had and will always have my respect. The dude is a **** warrior. Were his stats good tonight? No, they weren't. But the dude was almost dying out there and he still went out there and left everything on the court. He played 37 minutes and would have played more if he didn't foul out.
Jalen Brunson was also freaking amazing throughout the series. He was the series best's player, imo. It sucks that he got injured in the 3rd quarter and was unable to return for the 4th.
In general, injuries sucked hard for the Knicks throughout their playoff run. It 100% sucks for a fan to see his team get so many injuries at such a crucial time. But that team still fought tooth and nail. This is an amazingly tough Knicks team. They are here for the long run, you just have to make sure they're healthy come playoff time.
What a **** game.

Excuses. They had the #2 seed without Randle. Had plenty of chances to close them out up 3-2, and didn't show up in Game 7.
Yes, it was a disappointing end and they deserved to be criticized

You're on a bit of a hot streak lately
Great post. Your team is finesse, not soft. They showed a heck of a resiliency this series. Knicks will drink a cup of warm milk and we'll be back for more next season.

Knicks have 2 first round picks back to back. Don't know their cap situation but they can get cheap talent or flip it for a piece.

we overachieved all season. I'm more than satisfied and proud of my team
Myth_Breaker wrote:I'm glad the Pacers won here, especially in the Madison Square Garden. Of course the Knicks were injury-depleted, etc. Nevermind with it - the point is that regardless of the outcome of this particular series, the winner of it is unfortunately a heavy underdog against the Celtics. But perhaps Porzingis' injury can change the equation a little bit?

I understand you haven’t watched good basketball all season but that shouldn’t be an excuse for not using your head.
Embiid put up 50 burgers, was allowed to be as physical as he wanted, and got a historic whistle. He was healthy. He just did like he always does and disappeared in the 4th.
The bucks weren’t a good team. Giannis wasn’t going to destroy anything with an OG, Mitch, iHart, Precious front court out there.
The Knicks are historically good as a healthy team. The bucks and sixers were either average or just good.
Embiid could barely move. The idea that he was healthy is comical.
Bucks were still better than the Knicks with Giannis.
They were not "historically good" based on a 25 game stretch in the regular season lol. Get a grip.
They overachieved.
They missed their chance to make the ECF last year to be honest. That Knicks team was healthy.
This posts underachieves...but I get it, being irrelevant sux....

The team lost a top 3 draft pick, stuck paying broke back Ben Simmons $40 million next season and the only hope for their franchise is a super 6th man Cam Thomas.
Let them enjoy our loss. This is the most happiness they’ll experience for a while since it won’t come from their own franchise

They’re annoying trolls. They also suffer from an inferiority complex. Even when KD, Kyrie and Harden were in Brooklyn, the attention their team received was short lived.
This undermanned and injured Knicks team has had just as much playoff success as that Nets team with 3 stars on it.
Just keep lil Bro’ing them, because quite frankly they’re not a threat now, or in the distant future.
The goal is to be competitive with the Celtics, Nugs, OKC, Mav and Wolves of the league. The Nets and their fans are an afterthought.

No need to be so emotional at a few Nets fan poking fun at their cross town rivals.
Its not that deep. Relax
