  1. Crazylockdown

    We came out fine and had the game under control until Hart got hurt. Terrible injury luck, all you can do is laugh at this point, we’ve been losing a player like every 3 games. Proud of this team no matter what in game 7. These bum pacers getting all excited along with Doris Burke, dumb hillbillies…

  2. SunMoonJuxtaposition

    This is exactly why I’m glad the Knicks played the regular season down to the last minute to get the 2nd seed and home court advantage. Just have to close it out in front of the home crowd now

  3. BigToeJ0e

    Not even mad, just disappointed at the ridiculous amount of injuries…I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like it. This team is very tired and it’s showing on their defense (and offense too) this team has dead legs and is running on pure adrenaline at MSG. I think what sucks the most is that a healthy Knicks team smokes this pacers team, let’s hope they win game 7!

  4. aesop_fables

    All I want the Knicks to do is sleep until sunday

  5. merlin401

    Everyone left including Hart needs to be at 100% health Sunday and basically that’s all there is to it 

  6. Tough-Error520

    sorry, but without josh hart, we’re fucked. thats 4 top guys out. i’ve never seen a fucking team have so many fucking injuries like this in the playoffs. this would be like the spurs losing Tim Duncan, Manu and two other topi players.

  7. Hali is kind of insane for doing anything when he was legitimately the 4th best PG in this game

  8. TheKnicksMakeMeDrink

    The injuries are starting to really fuck me up, man

    Everyone is getting hurt no matter what and we’re still here

    We’re going to win game 7

  9. Siakam killed is this game.  Pretty much came down to the Hart injury and Brunson starting off cold. Brunson eventually picked it up, but it was too late with Hart injured.  If Hart was 100 percent, we had a shot. 

  10. deuce_and_a_quarter

    That’s how much Hart can affect a game. Damn.

  11. Another series loss to the pacers would be devastating

  12. DabZonTwitch

    I’m more than fine with closing it out in the Garden. Tonight was rough but winnable throughout, just needed to hit FTs and have Brunson hitting sooner. Sunday it is

  13. Rare-Ad-9088

    Genuinely need the corpses of hart and OG to play or shake and Sims play 5 good minutes

  14. The_Uncut_Gem

    Game 7 at the Garden, we can shut them down. Need Josh to be ok.

  15. ryankidd77

    I don’t know what else to say. I could go on for an hour about how terrible everything was tonight. Instead I’ll say, let’s bring this back to MSG and get a W. I still believe in this squad.

  16. teknomatic

    Jalen started the game very slow. Hart got hurt very early. And the defense and rebounding was really bad.

    I’m willing to bet Josh has at least a strained abdomen, and if he can’t go on Sunday then it’s really bad for us.

    the Celtics are probably loving this right now. They’re either getting a severely hobbled Knicks, or a team that needed 7 games to beat a severely hobbled knicks

  17. Tough-Error520

    has any NBA team in playoff history ever had this many fucking injuries????

  18. blkschizo

    I LOVE THIS TEAM. THEY SACRIFICED EVERYTHING TO BE RIGHT HERE. Terrible loss but what are we gonna do? MSG about to be a god damn mental asylum on Sunday

  19. NoScopeMusical

    – Another one of *those* games. Our guys were in it until Josh got hurt. The energy was never the same after that. It’s hard to put into words just how vital he is to this team’s success right now. I just hope he’s good to go for game 7.
    – Deuce was great. Took a while for Jalen to get going. Need them for Sunday
    – The Knicks have the worst fucking injury luck this season. It’d be funny if it wasn’t so damn cruel. Bench depth is paramount moving forward
    – There’s no use pouting over tonight. Got one more game left. Let’s win that

  20. HipnotiK1

    We cut it to 5 early in the 3rd… Game was right there…

    Next possession we strip nemhard and they somehow maintain possession and hit a 3.

    Next time down they get an offensive rebound off a miss leading to a 3. Back down 11.

    Despite everything we were right there. So many bad breaks and bad bounces and pacers just out hustling us. We started the game well too for once.

    And then the missed free throws…

    It’s crazy how the narrative shifts back and forth entirely. After game 4 it’s thibs is running his players into the ground. After game 5 it’s thibs is the best. After this game back to blaming thibs now that Hart is hurt.

  21. Balducci30

    We need Hart man. Please don’t let him be out for game 7
