I am mad!!! And I gotta get this rant off my chest.
I apologize upfront if my writing is full of spelling and grammatical errors but I gotta rant after watching that dogshit of a performance by the Knicks!
But what in the entire fuck was that tonight?!!? I don’t fucking understand why it is so difficult to play some damn defense against this team!!!
Like it blows my mind how many free baskets the pacers got after MAKES! Anyone who played junior varsity basketball knows you gotta get your ass back after a make and too many times I see stupid Siakam leaking out for an easy layup!
Speaking of Siakam I can’t believe this guy puts up 30!! Like Thibbs had no answers this guy. Last year OG did a pretty good job defending him until he got hurt but this year like what the fuck happened?!!! This dude scores 39 and 30 when you have legitimate defenders!! Absolutely terrible!
Also Knick fans need to come back to reality Tyrese is better than Brunson. Like to see Brunson struggle with Nesmith and Aaron was eye opening. Turning the ball over terrible passing. All series long Rick put a coaching clownsuit on thibs on how he bottled up Brunson. Making him super frustrated forcing him into bad shots and making him sit in foul trouble with running back ups at him like TJ. I like Brunson but after this series I see his game is extremely limited and I’m not so sure he can take the Knicks all the way. I think he has hit his ceiling.
Now Thibs. Dude what in the entire fuck are you doing man!! The bench management is just god awful. First to start with Payne who was a major dud besides one game in these playoffs and then you insert Shamet and wright who BARELY PLAYED ALL FUCKING SEASON??!? Like what the hell man!! It’s like you are looking for answers as Rick ran circles around you and was getting production from the 7 and 8th guy off the bench. As I’m watching this game some big man comes in hits 3 three pointers and scores I think 11 and I’m like how is this no name guy coming off the bench and killing my team!
So many things frustrated me about this game and thud team. It’s hard to organize my thoughts after watching such a shit effort but here are the things that are on top of mind
-
Knicks for some reason can complete an odd man rush fast break?!!! I a pivotal moment in the game Deuce McBride (more on him in a bit) goes too wide and get called for stepping out while he hit the three. On the replay it looked like he was in bounds but nothing happened!
-
Clearly the NBA wanted Knicks to win. They were getting all the calls!! KAT kicking dudes in the dick and OG sticking his knee out all got called on the pacers. Even with the ref push Knicks still couldn’t get it done
-
Josh hart great on the boards decent on defense extremely limited on offense. That break he had and tried to volleyball set KAT for a dunk that just bounced off the rim I just chuckled inside and thought wow that was terrible man.
-
Knicks desperately need a back up point guard. Deuce has hit his ceiling. Payne is trash and Wright is a journeyman. Knicks and thibs did nothing all season to develop the rookie they drafted or Bring someone in a veteran guy to help give Brunson a breather but nope.
-
For the life of me I don’t understand why the Knicks were letting Nesmith and Tyrese shoots uncontested threes! Like what the fuck guys!! I saw they did the same thing with TJ tonight and he hit one. The defense needs to be better period
-
KAT lovem and hate dude is a massive goofball. I do think his knee was bothering him tonight but it’s the playoffs and tonight’s performance was terrible. But him and these stupid bone head plays. The offensive fouls the flopping on the floor after every drive. When he’s not hitting the three his game becomes very frustrating to watch. KAT and Brunson should be enough of a one two punch to beat this stupid pacers team but nope tonight they both complete shit the bed. Sorry fools
-
I labeled this rant what I did because I laughed at @grayruby picking the pacers to make the finals. I thought they were frauds turns out it is the Knicks who are the frauds and I am the one with egg on my face.
-
Overall this series came down to game one and Nesmith. This guy hit like 6 threes in a row and stole game one. Also he did a fantastic job on defending Brunson all series long. I honestly think he was the difference in this series. If it wasn’t for him I think the Knicks are going to the finals
I am sure I can spend all night bitching and complaining about this game and the Knicks but overall I am shocked they made it this far. Please excuse the cussing and keep this post away from the children. My rant is over it just sucks to see my team get so close only to shoot them selves in the foot just like the bills did a few months ago against the chiefs.
Until next season. Rant over
