"Who are the Knicks? Brunson, Brunson and some other Knickas" " - Official '23 NYK Offseason Thread

[g-ice]

No sugarcoating it in regards to our stars always shytting the bed from the line at the end of the games but you lying to yourself if you don’t think these refs didn’t play a key role in todays game.

 

[DoubleClutch]

Knicks are terrible closers. They could have 10 more wins if they were

 

[qnsfinest]

Its time the knicks players and fans fukkin man up and stop blaming the refs and coaching.

These players are from clutch themselves, to many games with horrible free throw shooting that should of clutched games for us.

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

Randle and NOW Brunson have a history of missing final FT. Not good at all and I don't want to hear fatigue about that that's pure mental.

True, but I definitely think their is a correlation between the late game FT misses and their higher usage as compared to earlier in the season.

I won't discount the minutes have been ridiculous especially with the shortened rotation. Freethrows are still Freethrows and they missed about 7 between them and the one from Mitch

 

[Wargames]

Someone should see how many more games they would have won this season if they shot league average ft%.

Their style of play is based on getting FT to the point it’s the one factor they seem to consistently draft for. Not hitting their FTs is a legitimate problem, but I also feel that it’s one of those issues we’ll see fixed if/when they take that next step.

Only counting Knicks home losses here.

The first game against the Bucks, the first game against the Raptors, and the game against the Bulls.

 

[Wargames]

Any other team gets that call

 

[g-ice]

And as for road games @Wargames

At Milwaukee, and the first two games of the Texas road trip.

Free throws killed them there as well.

 

[seemorecizzy]

loss is on thibs
usually i have no sympathy for choking
but you cant play these guys 40 mins back to back games, especially when da second game is against the raptors who always play us aggressive

 

[Knicksman20]

Team getting gassed at the end of games has been a constant theme of their recent losses

Been saying this coach's style of play & management isn't sustainable. This is another prime example. People get so happy & gassed off the wins but it's gonna be futile when our players don't have the legs down the stretch & at the end of the season. It's how players get injured

Brunson and Randle both played over 40 minutes on Home/Away back to backs. Barret only played 27 mins yesterday so he ran him for 49. Also Grimes played 37 yesterday and 40 today. THIBS NEEDS TO BE REIGNED IN OR THE PLAYERS LEGS ARE GOING TO BE DUSTED BY THE TIME PLAYOFFS START. THAT'S IF THEY GET THERE AND SOMEBODY KNEES OR ACHILLES DON'T EXPLODE. Funny thing is Brunson and Barret recently came back from injuries and he going full bore after a flight private yes with all amenities but still Dude was almost fired at the beginning of the season and is going all out protecting his Job.

April breh are they going to make it to the all star break? That's the question.

I thought Grimes had a cold when he sat down for a few minutes in the 4th he Was coughing trying to catch his breath. All with capable bench players he shortens the rotation like its late march or something. He is in Job protection mode going full bore fruck'em now that they have their table setter in Brunson if they are not going to make a move the move is to thibs.
