"Death to the Pessimistic State of Mind" - Nas Voice: NYK '23 Pre-Season Thread

Word? Knicks came back after being down 14 in the 3rd… they closed it to a 4pt game

This doesn’t make sense since we took the lead and had it tied up multiple times

Were y'all watching the game

Like Ironman says below:

We were down 14 cause Thibs out a WOAT lineup out there3rd quarter of Doom still persisted as it has all season

No, they've fallen into double digit leads during the third quarters constantly which is why they're only one game over .500

Like Ironman says below:

But what does that have to do with the end result since we overcame that and took the lead?

I agree our third quarters have been horrendous but what does it matter for this game?

It matters, because that's why they've been inconsistent and digging yourself out of holes is not a sustainable way of winning moving forward especially against elite teams like the Nets.

To start the 3rd quarter the Knicks sat Rose AND IQ and started with this lineup:
- Burks, Grimes, Fournier, Randle, and Robinson

To play against:
- Mills, Harden, Bembry, Durant, Aldridge

Look at those lineups and make it make sense

 

[ISO]

Smh wtf does he think he’s gonna strangle a ref what’s up with this dude

 

[ikbm]

refs fukked us the whole night. randle should be upset. but thats the difference between good players and great players.
they get the benefit all night

Are you serious right now?

The knicks started the 3rd quarter up 1. Thibs took out Rose and IQ and put a garbage lineup in and we IMMEDIATELY went down 13.

The knicks did not score until 8:04 in the 3rd when Rose and IQ were back on the floor

The knicks weren't down 13 because they "couldn't execute." That lineup to start the 3rd wouldn't be successful against a college team. It's trash coaching.

[NY's #1 Draft Pick]

Wow you can’t make this up

 

[TOAD99]

Nba officiating is trash

no wonder Randle was heated

 

[g-ice]

Okay then yeah Randle has the right to be upset.
