  1. We didn’t lose by 50 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Let’s hope we come out breathing fire in MSG and give those smug faces a whopping.

  2. There is nothing to be mad about:

    Ask yourselves where a rotation of Brunson, DiVo, Hart, Precious, iHart, Deuce, Burks and Sims finishes over the course of an 82 game season.

    It’s literally an 11 seed roster somehow in the middle of a 2nd round series. I have never seen something like this in my entire life.

  3. PsychotherapeuticUlm

    ![gif](giphy|1Qg5oT2z3CyJGbDOrL)

    I just want a full team man

  4. newbike07

    For those who prefer black comedy, 34% from the floor at 19% from 3 is comically bad.

  5. Coolio1014

    Still confident in our guys. One game isn’t the end of the world.

  6. EliManningsPetDog

    Well this is not looking good. Pressure is on

  7. DanDash34

    Simply can’t get mad at the injuries and lack of depth catching up to us. Pacers are far healthier with a deeper bench.

    Win or lose this series, I’m proud of this team and their fight and heart

  8. IWantANewBeginning

    So this is how the bucks felt. Should have been an easy sweep if there was no injuries. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

  9. The_Uncut_Gem

    Not the first time this year we’ve had our backs against the wall, and we haven’t quit yet. Game 5 at the Garden, we can do it.

  10. Burks generational game ig 💀💀 Hope our guys rest up and come back for game 5

  11. This makes Game 5 the most important game of the season. Win Game 5 and you can force it to a 6-7 game season and hope that OG can come back. Lose Game 5 and you most likely lose the series. What will this Knicks team choose?

  12. SweetLou315

    Well my expectations rest of the way can’t get any lower now

  13. SunMoonJuxtaposition

    Nuggets have a couple injuries but had 4 days off between games 2 and 3, look what they did to the Wolves game 3. Knicks had 1 1/2 days off and look at the results. At no point there’s going to be 4 days off in this series. There’s 3 days between games 5 and 6 which had the possibility of not even happening if one of the teams were swept. I just don’t understand the scheduling

    Knicks in 6

  14. broadnoodles

    Start Burks.. Next game sub him out with Mcbride…

  15. ForsakenRacism

    They gonna clown on us for not having a bench. My brother in Christ the bench is starting these games

  16. Man, Pacers fans are annoying but the Sixers fans in that thread were fucking pathetic. Bunch of soft ass losers.

  17. Lazarus704

    This was a quick turnaround from Game 3 and obviously our guys are tired. An explosion like this from a run and gun team was bound to happen. We are down two starters and two main rotation pieces. Knicks in 6

  18. Distinct-Pangolin112

    I have to give INDY a ton of credit. They have a deep team that can go a legit 10-12 deep. Good job by their scouting department..

  19. deuce_and_a_quarter

    God, Allah, Buddah, voodoo, or whomever else I’m missing. Someone talk to one of them to get OG back…

  20. YourAsianBuddy

    Horrible effort and performance. I’d be ok with we closed Game 3, but now we’re in the shits.

  21. Oprahapproves

    Diakite DETONATES for 2 points, 1 rebound, 1 steal, and 1 block in valiant effort vs pacers

  22. JetsFan2003

    Guys it’s my fault, I drew a picture of Lammy and Katy from *Um Jammer Lammy* in bed with the caption “They Fucked On The Knicks Bed” in impact font, thinking I would post it in celebration after winning today. God has frowned upon my handiwork, and has cast punishment for my sins.

  23. Game one and game two victories count just as much as the game three and four losses. A one point victory is the same as a 40 point victory.

    Knicks just gotta win 2 out of the next 3. Every game starts 0-0. Every day is a new day.

  24. TheNightRain68

    Gonna be funny watching pacers fans act like they’re tough shit when the only reason why they’re here is because they got to face two heavily injured teams in a row lol

  25. FtheRedSox

    Embarrassing. Even with half our rotation out.

  26. The real shame is losing on that crazy 3 Friday. Injuries are catching up but I know they’ll come out strong and play well Tuesday. 

  27. timekillah

    I am relieved haliburton is looking well and not injured, will have no excused when he loses at MSG 😀

    also alec burks meaningful minutes, again!

  28. Welp can’t win a game if you can’t score or defend for shit, lets redeem ourselves in the garden please

  29. The short turnaround from game 3 to an afternoon start in game 4 showed. 2 day rest from game 5 to game 6 will be huge. Win at the garden on Tuesday and close it out in Indy

  30. Knafstuds

    We needed to win game 3. Realistically the might finish us in 6 with all the injuries we have. As a fan though. KNICKS IN 6. NEW YORK KNICKS NUMBER ONE BABY

  31. elswannie45

    Today was about as bad as a team can play, and about as good as a team can play on the other end of the court.

    It’s a 3 game series now. Hoping we hear about OG’s status sooner than not.

    Win the home games and keep fighting. That’s Knicks basketball baby

  32. Balducci30

    We can beat them without OG, my main concern Brunson is really not looking like himself these past two games on that foot. Shit he usually makes easily is not falling to an almost comical degree. I think he’ll come out strong though, these boys play better with their back against the wall – Knicks in 7

  33. slyguy183

    If you got nothing nice to say then don’t say nothing

    So Fuck Reggie Miller

  34. 95mphsliders

    There were good shots taken in that first half they just weren’t falling. Tough loss no doubt, but let’s reset for game 5. It’s basically a 3 game series now and we have 2 of those 3 at MSG. The team needs the garden to be electric on Tuesday. This isn’t the first time the team looked dead before coming back strong.
