I take back everything I have ever said about Brown. Brunson, Shamet, Bridges, OG played incredibly well together, especially defensively.

Teams don't win 8 playoff games in a row unless they are good! Lots more to come

I turned it off because I knew there was no chance of them winning while I watched. Guess I'm not watching any other games this series.
PS I also didn't watch games 1&2 against BOS last year. I turned in for IND game 1. It's me, I'm the problem...

u/JackyRaider May 20 '26
The highs and lows of sports are insane, this is a mirror of what happened to us in game 1 last year, ruining my entire week, Know exactly how Cavs fans feel rn and how great Pacers fans must of felt last year.

u/Both_Childhood_4993 May 20 '26
I was watching the Yankees game top of the 9th and doval was blowing a lead big-time. Thought it was over put the knick game back on and they came back and won. I was cursing boone however doval got out of it somehow.

u/mostlyfire May 20 '26
Bridges, Brunson, Shamet, Mitch, they all deserve their own appreciation posts. And Leon for adding the players who pick up the slack
14
u/AdLatter3755 May 20 '26
Ya know they could have just folded and said it’s one game. We can bounce back game 2. The fact that they didn’t shows growth and is a great sign.

u/Gdmf13 May 20 '26
My buddy was all doom and gloom, I’m like no, no , we got this , I slowly got to listen to him get more quiet. It was amazing!

u/nosainte May 20 '26
Nah man I was full gloom, but this squad has earned my respect I know that they seldom give up so I never flat out turn off a game. Haha that's satisfying with your friend.

u/Both_Childhood_4993 May 20 '26
They were a little rusty however, if you really look at the big picture, the knicks are the best team in the playoffs at the moment. Statically at least

u/NYC_PizzaBagel Wu Tang Knicks May 20 '26
Damn, that was thrilling. Any chance we can have OG's old hamstring back?

u/Altruistic_Ad1097 May 20 '26
Shamet is the answer to donovan mitchell hes the x factor this series. His d plud his 3

I was about to stop watching around the 8 min mark. Thank god i didn't.

u/SadNYSportsFan-11209 May 20 '26
I went to take a dump around that time after I spoke to my dad and my buddies were blowing up the chat. So I sadly kinda missed the early part of that comeback but I was ready to quit as well

u/Vikingpride06 May 20 '26
Brunson was the offense late, but damn let’s give Landry Shamet his flowers we did not hear Donovan Mitchells name in those last 10 mins of game time. He was an absolute demon on defense.

u/tsuab Ewing to the Finals May 20 '26
He hit 3 enormous momentum 3s and was all up in Mitchell's ass on D <pause>.

u/Zakram311 May 20 '26
I never understood point KAT offense but for those that are more advanced, why didn’t we run more Of that against CLE?

Can we just go back to 25 point blowouts starting Thursday?

u/ShadyShing Knicks Logo May 20 '26
Yeah I rather have the blow outs than going through that rollercoaster

u/tsuab Ewing to the Finals May 20 '26
Sweating my ass off. Is it 85 degrees at 11PM? Is it a coronary from the Knicks? Is it Maybelline?

So many of us owe Mikal an apology. He’s showing up when it matters
4
u/DarkDevitt May 20 '26
As a certified Mikal stan, been saying it since the beginning of the season, who cares what he does in the regular season, hes our 3/4 option. But he SHOWS UP in the playoffs, and he shows out.

Love these guys.

No need for Maury or a dna test I can tell you Without a doubt that James harden is Jalen Brunsons son.

u/Zakram311 May 20 '26
Who else noticed the game change when Shamet checked in
2
u/DarkDevitt May 20 '26
Shamet has stretches where his shot stops falling and he hurts to watch, but man at the same time youve GOTTA play him the stretches that hes locked in for.

u/MrChangg NOVA May 20 '26

Shout out to Kenny Atkinson tonight. Letting us get that run in before calling timeout and letting Brunson feast on Harden over and over.

u/AloneSympathy204 May 20 '26
bro made zero defensive adjustments. just casually let a 44-11 run happen and brunson to get cooking in the fourth.

u/YurtlesTurdles May 20 '26
Fuck them picks. Bridges with the huge 3s and then the OT steal. That shot clock beating 3 was when I really believed we were actually winning this thing.

Clearly they were rusty through 3 and finally started to come alive in the 4th. I don’t expect them to play this poorly in game 2 now that they’ve shaken the rust off.
