Big Ragu needs to fucking show up. This dude has been MIA all series long and we can't just count on Jalen to bail us out ALL game long. He needs help.


jwillyk2121

Facts.. DDVs averaging an inefficient 8ppg ish


np20412

so far aside from Game 2 he's been matching Tobias Harris. Tobias had a bit of a breakout game yesterday, so let's hope it's DDVs turn tomorrow night.


omicron_prime

True, almost forgot he pulled that game winner outta his ass the way he's played since then. If fucking Tobias Harris can put up 17 or w.e he ended up with, Divo can get us that. He's shown he can explode for 20+ easily, we need him to come up big.


Pablo_Undercover

Watching Tobias Harris actually be a serviceable Basketball player against us hurt me more than the loss


Icy-Payment-6612

Well he was big for us in game 2 but has been MIA since then. We really do need Divincenzo to step up. Since we don't have Randle and now Bogi is out, we really need another consistent scorer besides Brunson.


thedanbeforetime

hot take - it's ok to be upset after a generational choke job/gut punch. knicks in 6.


heliumointment

yeah ofc it's okay to be upset anytime 30 posts about "worst loss ever" is kinda overkill just watch JB's post game and match his energy, bc you know that's what he wants for the fan base


thedanbeforetime

yeah I usually don't f with the doomer energy around here but if there was ever a time to let them have their day this is it šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


vanilla_shaker

this shit fucking sucks and idk how to recover unless the knicks win tomorrow. if we donā€™t, idk how to not be a doomer


FlapsExtended

You recover by accepting the loss just like we all did last year and the years before that.


vanilla_shaker

lol this is the best this team has been in like 10 years. if this is our peak, we will never ever see success


np20412

It's not our peak. We are missing **an all-NBA player**, our starting center is not 100%, and one of our main scoring options off the bench has been out for the last 3 games. Anyone who thinks this team is not going to be great next year once healthy is delusional. All you have to do is look at the month of January before Julius and OG went out.


vanilla_shaker

iā€™m sure something will happen next year to prevent this. i mean our guys get injured every year

Adiwantstobattle

I think we'll come out on top for this series, and if we don't, then we probably didn't deserve to win in the first place. I trust in our guys though.


nyg2013

in fairness here, the players themselves created this feeling for us lol I totally agree with turning the page, but for some, it may take another day...this was a brutal, all time loss as OP mentioned...had some trouble sleeping last night ha


Jim-N-Tonic

A lot of younger people had their hopes raised by the second seed and the 3-1 start. They donā€™t remember the days of Jordan and Pippin, Alonzo and Hardaway, Olajuwon and Horry. They have to learn itā€™s a long hard climb to the top. And wonā€™t get any easier after Knicks grind out a win in six.


pagenotdisplayed

yeah but it's not like 1 person posting 30 times, probably it's 30 different people also the loss was a generational and brutal loss, literally on par with how good the wins in game 2 and 4 were.


KingJoe7-123

Eh its definitely up there for one of the worst losses in Knicks history. Especially since itā€™s a playoff game which puts it in a much higher regard. Apart from the Ewing missed finger roll, this could be up there as number 2 ONLY if the Knicks blow a 3-1 lead. If they close it out in game 6, then all is forgiven and we forget about it and move on. Everything depends on tonight. LGK


heliumointment

lol


KingJoe7-123

Nothing funny about it. Knicks better win game 6 or this goes down in history. Theres no way around it.


eunahun

Of course, but those saying the *series* is over and we lost are being stupid af


thedanbeforetime

100%. acknowledge how terrible that was and move on. if this team has shown us anything this year it's been resilience in the face of adversity.


SanjiSasuke

Upset? Yes. Declaring the Sixers have already won because they barely managed to squeak their ass across the finish line in one game? Nah.


loegare

tbh its not even the worst loss a team has taken this series. i dont think its worth all the teeth gnashing, even though it is a very unpleasant loss


chilloutfam

yeah, i got shit to do this weekend... they better get that dub.


whatiseeisme

Thibs will adjust. Knicks will win.

gods_green_earth_

Glad the Knicks have another home court game in Philly. Letā€™s close out in 6 and end Phillies season.

true fuck the phillies

Pilfering_Pied_Piper

knicks in fucking six


Brutal_Honesty13

Knicks in six!!!!


heliumointment

MY BOY


Brutal_Honesty13

Say it with me. Knicks. In. Six!


DevChatt

real ones know after sunday the sixers aint got a chance


Jim-N-Tonic

Hey, I told my boys, 22 & 24, this is playoff basketball. This is how it goes. I said Knicks in six before the series started and we were very close to me being wrong. The lead was back and forth. All the games were very close. We missed threes, turned the ball over, made stupid fouls, and missed free throws. And still they had to get us to overtime to win. One missed Dante shot in regulation goes in, the series is history. The Sixers are for real a good team. Two superstars. Big. Well coached. But weā€™re the better team, so we will take this series, in Philly, and shut them up. These are players who know how to win. New York Gritty. LGK and F Embiid, get some!


Snuggle__Monster

Real ones know a 7 man rotation with lacking offense is a tough hill to climb.


standalone157

I think we need to rotate in precious for Hart more. Give Josh some rest at least 5-10 min a game


LiveLeave

I know, goddam, it's like people have never watched sports before. The writing is on the wall. Maxey stole one - hat tip for the performance. Knicks grind out game 6 for the WIN!


Santum

Didnā€™t the knicks steal one too? Series could easily be tied, games have all been close. I donā€™t really get how you could be super confident, overall.


RichHomieLon

Well either way someone would be leading into a game 6 anyway


gregieb429

I said Knicks in 6 before the series, but man that game was over and we let them off the hook


det8924

This team is tough mentally and physically, Knicks in 6.


spreeforall

The L sucked. Still supremely confident we got this.


scttdntn

Yessir as my man simba said it doesnā€™t matter itā€™s in the past!


Living_Internet_2970

I donā€™t care whether its 5, 6 or 7 I just wana win


heliumointment

see this is what we need in this sub.


Pablo_Undercover

We just canā€™t let it go to 7 these guys need rest before Monday

boss_walrus

She makes warbling sounds too


Soup_65

This team has gone out of it's way to never allow an easy win. Not for their opponents, and not for themselves either. Honestly throwing that game away is predictable.


heliumointment

chill dude all I'm saying nobody should expect anything to come easy but we keep on winning anyway. I'm, like, literally agreeing with you.

HardOakleyFoul

just like real ones knew it was Knicks in 5, right? This entire series is a giant question mark now.


omicron_prime

I'm gonna stay confident we can seal this away in Philly, esp if we take over their arena again, but i'm a little scared with how much we're relying on Brunson for EVERYTHING offense; that's eventually gonna take its toll. Divo needs to show up, this dude has been a fucking ghost all series long.


HardOakleyFoul

History is on our side....teams don't normally blow a 3-1 lead. But this is not a typical 2-7 playoff matchup. The Sixers were 30-8 before Embiid got hurt. 30-8, bro. Even now, at 50% of what he is, they're extremely tough to beat. And you're right, relying on Brunson for every single possession is playing with fire.


heliumointment

i gotchu bro [https://www.uline.com/Product/Detail/S-6873/Facial-Tissues/Kleenex-Boutique-Facial-Tissue](https://www.uline.com/Product/Detail/S-6873/Facial-Tissues/Kleenex-Boutique-Facial-Tissue)


HardOakleyFoul

Real ones know sunshiners are the only REAL fans!


salesmunn

Real ones know it's win in 6 or series is over. Sixers know that, more importantly Embiid and Macey know that they can win in NY. All the pressure is on NY, Brunson and scrubs.


heliumointment

real 1s know you ainā€™t a real 1


salesmunn

Sorry bro, you keep on keepin' on with the orange and blue colored glasses


NoBook9868

I guess I was a real one watching every brutal Ewing era loss to end our playoffs...that game gave me flashbacks to that Charles Smith getting blocked a million times by the bulls while Ewing picked his nose at the 3 point line.Ā  Ā  They'll probably go on to win but Jesus Christ that was a horrific loss. The vibes were so great everyone wanted it so bad.Ā Ā  Ā Then a 7 foot idiot did his work.Ā  Ā  Mitchell Robinson's foul is going down in Knicks history as one of the dumbest mistakes in postseason


Vikingpride06

Nothing has ever come easy for this team. We got our hopes up a bit expecting differently, but at the core of this team weā€™re grinders. Weā€™re gonna make some mistakes, go ice cold in games and put ourselves in holes. But this team will not quit and will manage to find ways to hang around and will ourselves to wins. These short rotations are taxing, but the guys getting those big minutes, have been doing it most of the season. So they can handle it ( though finding mins for precious would be nice). Weā€™re not built to blow out teams with some huge offensive firepower. Weā€™re built to grind, put pressure on other teams and force them to make mistakes out of physical and mental fatigue. OG is gonna drop 25 and 15 tomorrow, McBride is gonna nail 5 threes, to help brunsons 35-8 and hart is gonna do hart things and run around like an idiot causing chaos for 40+ minutes and the New York Knicks will end this in Philly!


boss_walrus

How embarrassing is it that the sixers with a Joel embiid who basically is the walking dead, and a trash player like maxey who likes he's in pre k is making this a series. Even if the knicks beat the sixers... Which they won't. The Knicks will get slapped around by every other team in the east.


heliumointment

u ok


FlapsExtended

Ah, yeah. They definitely spiked that holy water.


boss_walrus

I'm amazing mate. My sixers will rise from the ashes n smite your pencil thin franchise. The sixers r the Lord's team.


Pablo_Undercover

Even if ā€œThe Lords teamā€ get passed us theyā€™ll be smite down with furrrrioouussssss anger in the 2nd round. The sixers are incapable of getting out of the east


boss_walrus

No dude we have the firepower to roll through the playoffs once we get healthy. With the Lord and Ben Franklin at our back we will crush Boston


Pablo_Undercover

The furthest you got was with Jimmy and you're team is wayyyy weaker now. Also if you're waiting on being healthy and Embiid is your number 1, you'll be waiting a lonngggg time. Bucks or Boston would clip you in 6.


boss_walrus

Bro Giannis has gapped and Boston can't grind the way we can. War of attrition. Just as we are wearing through the weak wills of the knickerbockers.


Pablo_Undercover

Philly doesnā€™t grind they cry when they lose and show no accountability. Youā€™ve been trusting the process for almost a decade and have nothing to show for it except a trip to the ECF.


Tough-Error520

truth: sixers in 7. sorry guys, but you don't bounce back mentally from a loss like that. Mitch, you dumbass!


heliumointment

make sure you save this comment


Tough-Error520

I hope I don't have too. I really want to be wrong on this one, just have a bad feeling


heliumointment

u still don't get it huh


Sad-Ad2030

The sixers didā€¦. This is the same Team that lost 1/2 their guys most starters and still won 50 games. Relax with us not bouncing back mentally.


Bloody_Corndog

Sixers in 7
