Yup. Indiana’s defense has been great, but it’s not everything. Our guys are gassed and they were missing shots they normally make. Particularly Brunson missing some point blank layups.

We not going 4/30 from 3 at home 😤. Expecting a loud crowd at MSG to revitalize this team.

Shit happens sometimes! It’s not over until it’s over!!! Let’s go Knicks

Josh Hart sad

Rest, recover, come back and compete. This team has been awesome and inspiring.
scattered_brains
i still think we can actually win this series because the pacers are not impressive at all against our third string players.
but if knicks were full strength this would be a sweep

A win by 1 or 40 still equals the same in the playoffs. It’s 2-2, not 1-3. Our guys will get some much needed rest, we’ll go home and take one, and momentum will be back on our side. The Garden will lend the team its energy.

YOU SHOULD ALL BE HAPPY. THE KNICKS HAVE BEEN IRRELEVANT FOR A LONG TIME. THE PLAYOFFS ARE NEVER A CAKE WALK STAY HUMBLE

Have we won a first quarter this post season yet?
We can’t keep getting down double digits every fucking game man, why we come out so flat every game??

Indiana really locked in today, back to New York and hopefully our guys can pull off a W in the next 2 games to close this series out

Thibs’ strategy now comes to bite him. Playing guys 40+ mins throughtout the season is not good.

Damn seeing Hart down like that is tough

I mean shit running a 5 man rotation will gas the fuck outta any team
Radiant-Steak9750
I’m not making an excuse, but the whole team is hurt.The rotation is so thin now..To thin😭

OG out is really effecting our team 🙁

We have to show them who’s boss game 5. They shouldn’t be having this much confidence in themselves rn
kjweitz
It does.
I wanted one more round from this team. They are *almost* there. With the injuries, it’ll be a slog getting to the ECF. You can’t help injuries. That being said, the Knicks are not the wasteland that they’ve been.

# Crazy thought for game 5: Start Burks at SF and have Deuce and Precious coming off the bench.
Deuce makes the starting lineup too small, and Precious creates real spacing issues. Burks has shown he has something left in the tank. Brunson needs three-point shooters to give Brunson floor spacing when he goes inside. I also believe we need to play Simms for 5-7 minutes per game, painful as that is. OG is not coming back this series, so the Knicks need to adjust

Unfortunately injuries have caught up to the team, love coach but I absolutely hate that he plays these dudes to the brink, he really has to change it up next year, it’s unacceptable Hart is playing whole games, sometimes you have to let your foot off the gas, can’t be ball to the wall every quarter.

Vegas now has Indy favored to win the series.

Stupid hot take but I think we should only insert Brunson when needed until he’s 100%
psynergy_chaos
Definitely does syck but as long as we hold on to our home court we’ll be good! We took the pacers best punch today and we’ll return it to them at MSG on Tuesday!
letsfixitinpost
Pacers fans gloating, like literally we gotta play burkes with significant minutes we’re so injured right now. Also we got no idea how fucked up brunsons foot is

I am not worried at all. They will regroup and win game 5. It was a bad game, it happens.

Indiana can have their moment. The Knicks will regroup. Hopefully OG can return in the next game or two
Struggle2Real
Sure. But it’s a hell of a story.
Knicks in 6, Indy in 6, Knicks in 7, Indy in 7 all seem (relatively) equally possible. I’d been thinking yesterday how I haven’t had a game 7 for my team since ducking 2000. For whatever it’s worth, I enjoy and embrace the emotional rollercoaster of the POs.
Add in the injury situation, and this team has given a real life Disney movie Rudy script type situation. This is an amazing time. To be this beaten up and still be a favorite to end up in the ECF? Sign me all the way up.
