Game Thread: New York Knicks vs Atlanta Hawks 6/2/2021 7:30 pm [Game #5]

We just can?t score in the paint... gulp

RJ 9-11 in series from the FT line

Hold on .. ball hitting the ref or the time clock are supposed to be still good, and shoving someone in the back is now a flagrant WTF

Knicks survived a surge from Atlanta to only be down by 5 at the half. The Knicks won?t survive the 3rd quarter if they don?t make a surge of their own.

Solomon Hill, who has barely played in this series, tries to pick a fight with Noel as teams walk off court at the half? Why? Who does that in game 5 of a playoff series?

Knicks down 5 at the half....52-47. Randle with 17 and RJ with 7.... points m it?s not confident we?ll outscore ATL by 6 in second half....

Offense has been out it?s for about 17 of the 18 quarters, so only a fool would believe we start hitting shots now.

Gonna take a small miracle to force a game 6. We turning ball over, can?t hit open shots, can?t score in the paint.

Very chippy game and Tray young is really starting to get on my nerves. We should have put him on his ass game 1 or 2 to slow him down like good old Knicks basketball. Do it with reserve player so it?s of no consequence to your lineup. Can?t have a bad 3rd quarter this time around.

We need KK or someone else on the bench to pop TY a good one

Randle with the 1st half double double. He has not been efficient but he?s busting his ass out there. It would be great if RJ, Burks, Bullock, and/or Quickley shot the lights out from deep in the 2nd half and got us this win.

This is playoff basketball and our Knicks aren?t showing the proper playoff intensity. If Oak is at the game he needs to give the halftime speech! One half left in the season fellas let?s go!

Why not a Reggie freaking Miller doing our game I wish I could get the Knicks broadcast

59-50 and ATL about to blow this wide open

Too many turnovers.... no ball or man movement... ISO and standing around.. Randle has 7 turnovers and it?s now 62-50.

Season over?

ATL not doing anything special.... we just can?t score. Can?t win if you can?t score.

I'm watching the TNT broadcast because this is Marv Albert's last season. Get Another win so it won't be his last commentating the Knicks!

Long rebound.... Hunter beats 3 NYK to ball and gets putback. 1 thing to miss shots but this is unacceptable that ATL winning every 50/50 ball.

Not the most exciting game.

5 minutes left in third quarter and NYK have 54 points. Not gonna cut it

Down by 11 and no Knick boxing-out Capela in the paint .. not looking good in the 3rd qtr.

2:50 left in the 3rd and they have 11 points in the Q. We are down 14 points.

We are 4-23 from downtown and have missed 4 FT

Barring a major rally, season over in 15 minutes of game action.

Hard to fathom our offense disappeared for all 5 games. Credit ATL, of course, but we missed a ton of open looks and we completely halted any motion or ball movement.
