    Miami won this game on the offensive glass

  2. Carmelmao

    “The fourth quarter game plan? Fuck rebounds, foul them instead.”

    – Tom Thibodeau

  3. TheAgGatsby

    Why didn’t the Knicks just rebound the ball when the Heat missed a shot?

  4. fuckareyousaying

    Horrible rebounding by NY & I just realized Randle looks like Hermes lmao

  5. MKenshiX

    Where is Stephen A? Is he safe? Is he alright?

  6. weekndalex

    pathetic rebounding display from the knicks

  7. RipHelios

    Hey kevin, You dont have Lebron anymore, you can’t win in the playoffs again.

    Love: But we have Lebron at home.

    Lebron at Home: JIMBO

  8. SiphenPrax

    Yeah it’s (very likely) over.

    It was a fun ride this year, and I’m very happy we made it to the second round, but we have a lot of work to do in the offseason to go farther next year (we BADLY need to be better at 3-point shooting).

    If the Heat win on Wednesday, I hope they end up representing the East in the NBA Finals because fuck Boston and Philly.

    **Zombie Heat:** *“Coming soon to a stadium near you”*

  10. DjLionOrder

    The Heat just got another offensive rebound while you were reading this comment.

  11. Palifaith

    Not ideal when your entire bench scores a combined 10 points.

  12. EndOfThaSummer

    Knicks should be disgusted with themselves omg. I never seen a team get their ass whooped solely off of offensive rebounds. That 4th quarter was worse than any 20 point blowout idc.

  13. mMounirM

    Knicks can try and blame the refs but get a fucking defensive rebound ffs. out-hustled

  14. Number333

    As someone who did not watch much of the Cleveland series but expected NY’s size to be a problem for us, **HOW ON EARTH** did we get what felt like 10 offensive rebounds in that 4th Q? It wasn’t even our bigs. Lowry got 2, Martin got 3, lmao I cannot imagine how *INFURIATING* that must have been for Knicks fans ‘specially when it was 84-91 early 4th.

    Expected us to win and we played great ball until the 4th Q where our shot died but hustle made up for it. Can’t wait to close out on Wednesday!

  15. GGezpzMuppy

    Lowry and Bam finally realising even Superman needs a little help every now and then.

  16. Man, Jimmy is HIM on both sides of the floor. Amazing.

  17. dustybooks22

    Heat are the biggest frauds, easily should’ve been the top seed in the east.

  18. turdnagels

    Randle WALKED to the same spot every time down the floor, put his hands up like Oliver Twist at the fuckin orphanage soup line, and then had the audacity to mope around every time Brunson and Barrett actually made a play. Send this dude to Cancun rn

  19. realudonishaslem

    Knicks beat the Cavs by dominating the glass against 7 footers like Jarret Allen or Evan Mobley. And now they‘re out here getting absolutely, I mean ABSOLUTELY murdered on the glass by the Miami 6’5ers tonight lmao

  20. ToinouAngel

    And people really thought New York would win that series. SMH.

  21. MySilverBurrito

    Team playing like the 2020 team again and its amazing to see. Ball movement, defense, shooting. I love it 🥲

    Corporate needs you to find the difference between this picture and this picture:

    * 2020 Kelly Olynyk

    * 2023 playoffs Kevin Love

    They’re the same.

  22. ms--chanandler--bong

    Miami really cosplayed as a mid team all year just to fuck everyone in the playoffs

  23. Piratenika

    I’M LOSING SLEEP AT NIGHT, you know what I mean. This is not the way I wanted my last year as a knicks fan to go.

  24. Best Knicks team this century and we’re going to lose to a cowboy coffee salesman and his IT department just fade me already goddamnit

  25. PrancingDonkey

    Win or lose, it’s been a great season for the Knicks. No shame in losing to the team that beat the #1 seed Bucks. Heat are playing some zombie shit, never seen a team that sucked ass in the regular season turn it up like this in the playoffs.

  26. sentientblaze

    The Knicks are so unserious and it starts and ends with the effort randle and to a lesser extent Barrett display game to game. I did not see a single box out from either of them throughout the 4th

  27. NiceGuyNio

    Knicks in nine.
    Miami will relax after going up 4-1.

  28. TruggWalg69

    Bam was huge today. Good to see him have that game.

  29. Direct_Morning_3223

    my team hasn’t been semi relevant enough in so long for me to remember how sad losing when it matters is.

    Man this sucks 🙁

  30. Toast2Carnage

    Celtics/76ers praying Knicks can somehow extend this series lol

  31. TSSFranco

    Watching Julius Randle play “defense” this series has taken years off my life. I have no idea how Thibs tolerates it

  32. Tuxedocat1357

    You know that Heat-Warriors finals that people for some reason keep thinking happed in 2015?

    That’s now actually possible

  33. thebestjordan123

    Miami was a Scott Foster legacy game away from a sweep

  34. IMovedYourCheese

    Thank GOD the “this the first time all playoff teams are 2-2…” narrative is dead before it really took off.

  35. drop_the_eggs

    WE BEAT THE BUCKS IN 5 AND THEY STILL COUNTED US OUT AGAINST THESE BING BONG LOSERS. JIMMY BUTLER IS THAT ALPHA DAWG. BAM GOT THE CLAMPS LIKE THAT ONE ROBOT FROM FUTURAMA. KEVIN LOVE SHOULD HAVE PLAYED FOOTBALL. JUST ANOTHER WIN BY THE HARDEST WORKING, BEST CONDITIONED, MOST PROFESSIONAL, UNSELFISH, TOUGHEST, MEANEST, NASTIEST TEAM IN THE NBA.

  36. Plusstwoo

    We really getting 2020 all over again? Bubble fraud agendas in jeopardy

  37. FreeformCauliflower

    It was Caleb Martin’s turn to get the Josh Hart soul-crushing rebounds

  38. IRanOutOf_Names

    Shoutout Bam. His 23 and 13 doesn’t pop like Brunson’s 32 but he was dominant tonight. Incredible defense all throughout, all the while slamming the paint every time he could.

  39. The-Pharcyde

    Spo never winning a COY is a crime. Lmao.

  40. WheresMyTubeSock

    Winning as a team way better than having jimmy go nuclear every night

  41. dagreenman18

    Heat 🤝 Panthers

    8th seeds dominating the playoffs

  42. WeefBellington24

    Yo the Miami Heat are one game away from being BACK to the ECF.

    Amazing.

    Sucks to lose in such embarrassing fashion and get bounced so embarrassingly early but holy shit. Kudos to the Heat
