[Kristian Winfield] Donte DiVincenzo on the idea that the banged-up #Knicks should punt Game 3 to get healthier for Game 4: “Hell nah. We ain’t punting nothing. We coming in here to win the game.”

The whole discourse around is a waste of time and breath. It’s not our culture, and if you take game 3 the pacers might pack it in game 4 and we get a sweep and everyone gets to rest. Not to say you don’t consider pulling the plug if we down 20 in the third but that can’t be the mindset to start the game.

Why would you ever ask a player if they should punt a playoff game, like wtf?

Heck yeah! That’s the attitude I want to hear from our dogs.

I seriously would expect no less. Win or lose going forward this team really showed us what they’ve got, and they will not lay down.

I have nothing but confidence in us winning this game tonight. We have battled adversity and bounced back all year, why stop now? Our time.

I can’t see how Jalen is anywhere close to 100% , and given we know nothing about what happened to him in the locker room for a qtr and half outside of a “sore foot” diagnosis, i’m putting him at like 80% at best? If Deuce and Precious step up with big minutes and we get another Divo masterclass we win this game even with a compromised JB. All I know is our guys are DAWGS and are gonna give it 100% no matter what. I’d love to steal this game with OG out and just drive the final nail in the Pacers coffin and i fully believe we can do it.

This was predictable. It’s literally not in their nature. What a bunch of absolute dawgs
KidSickarus
obviously this is the correct response and hopefully it puts this stupid idea to rest.
now, trying to imagine the alternative: “yeah we are going to hand this one to Indiana. in fact it would probably be better for everyone if we asked the league to cancel the game entirely, and we’ll forfeit of course, and pay for refunds on everyone’s tickets.”

I expect them to be laser focused and with a boost of adrenaline knowing that they’re short handed. Whether or not that means they win is one thing, but I expect them to be sharp.

If Precious plays under control and Deuce gets in shooting rhythm this team will absolutely beat the pacers.

It’s been next man up all year and this team is always prepared to go to war no matter who is able to go

If he was thinking that I would have concerns.

I mean, what else is he gonna say?
“Nah we’re fucked without OG, gonna tank this one”

I definitely don’t think they should punt but I do think it’s a good opportunity to take a game to play some of the bench guys a few minutes and see if they have anything to contribute because we’re going to need bodies

Purposely giving up playoff games is reckless.

Did you really expect a professional basketball player to admit that they’d just give up?
OFC they’re gonna try their best.

We literally won a game against then with Randle,OG,Mitch injured.Burks/Bojan weren’t here yet, and Grimes was injured too.Precious started,McBride did well off the bench and Jacob Toppin and Sims got some run.That might be a blueprint of what we are looking at right here.Yes,Haliburton was on a minutes restriction and didn’t play in the 4th but the way he is playing right now it would be better for the pacers if he wasn’t playing to close out games.The idea that we should give up on a game that basically guarantees u win the series is downright idiotic,especially for a team that’s as tough as this one.

If Brunsons not playing, it’s basically a punt. Love this team, but they haven’t shown us that they can win w/o our superstar on the floor. Tough truth.

As expected. LGK!

Only fake fans are suggesting they give up game 3
