Hey All, just dropped in first time since last. See I’ve missed anything when it comes to Thib’s coaching.

Why would you put KAT back into a game with 2 seconds late to get hurt on some freakish play?? Just crazy!!

Wsup Raider .. I guess he wanna see KAT play center again on both sides of the court.
I would've started the 4th with twin towers KAT & Mitch, plus have OG defending Cade to start a qtr down by 8
 
It would be a miracle at this point if we win this game, KAT’s been kept to just 10 pts and the bench has been a non factor with the exception of Deuce’s 8 buckets

It look like Brunson & Hart been playing Hero-Ball together for 35 min .. Reminding me of Randle & Barrett
 
Knicks are catching a momentum with the elimination of Thompson, the Pistons are shaking, 90-85, 4:27 left, Knicks still have a ft
 
Almost got them. Going back to Detroit to take one of the next couple of games will be a real test
 
After the game all the Pistons players are walking around MSG confidence as if everyone should have known the outcome. Bold!
Bickerstaff vs Tibbs 1-1

Tonight the Knicks team shot 34-81 from FG,
10-35 from 3's,
and 16-19 from FT
HC Tibbs played a 7-man rotation in Game 2

Brunson played 44 minutes
Brunson (12-27 FG) for 37 pts, 7 Dimes, 6 turnovers (To much Hero-Ball).

Mikal played 38 minutes
Mikal (8-18 FG) for 19 pts, 5 reb, 3 steals

OG played 42 minutes
OG (4-10 FG) for 10 pts

KAT played 33 minutes
KAT (5-11 FG) for 10 pts, 6 reb

Hart played 40 minutes (Why)
Hart (2-6 FG) for 10 pts, 7 reb, 5 Dimes
 
What should we do for Game 3 in Detroit ???

Should we increase our front court big man rotation by adding Precious (hustle) performance alongside KAT, and Mitch in lineups. We do need 3 to 4 fouls from Precious a game, this is the Playoffs.
Plus we need ball-movement rather than attitude, we have to win both games in Detroit, and moving the ball-around more to give 9 (or 10) rotation players touches on the offensive-end of the court to get a better shot at the bucket.
Being Detroit is playing more physical, plus Cade racing up court for a quick dunk. the Knicks need 9 or 10 fresh players to race Cade, and return the physicalness (PJ Tucker). The Knicks need two wins in Detroit, or a 1-1 to go 6 Games.

Missed the game at work. Almost stole it at the end but can’t count on that. Really just need one in Detroit to regain home court. We just need KAT to show up. 10 points in a playoff game: unacceptable. And we need to be more aggressive going to the bucket 🪣 instead of settling for jumpers. Free throw disparity tells that story. The more aggressive team always gets the calls. If KAT and crew(OG, Bridges, Hart…) show up we will be fine. Thibbs will shorten his rotation in the playoffs. Most coaches do because it’s win or go home. JB is our HERO! He will always show up. The “others” as Shaq always says need to show up and KAT has to increase his season numbers not decrease. Knicks in Six!
