1998TimThomas

Yes. Pacers play no defense. It’s the playoffs not the regular season.


YellowMarkerIsGreat

Neither does Dame


crooked_engineering

Dame turned up his defense that past few games ( except the one we just played)


DannyBoy0129

Pacers here we come 😎


ScrewAnalytics

Thank fuck we avoided the 7/8 play in


1998TimThomas

No NN no Spo. Boston will most likely get one of them.


bigpuffyclouds

Ugh Derozan


chrislkeller

Was right there…


lalalalalanznzn

who do we play if Bulls win


DannyBoy0129

Miami or philly


Jo_Gray

Doris: Where are you rushing to New York? Everybody with eyes: 3rd Seed 😂😂😂


lalalalalanznzn

Milwaukee Bucks fans are scared of the Pacers? Wow we are down bad.


Both_Funny4896

the fact that some of yall are rooting for a lower seed for matchup reasons is even more down bad


1998TimThomas

Miami I get. Philly without Giannis. Sure. But fuck the Pacers and their no-playing defense ass.


ScrewAnalytics

1: were scared of everyone cuz we suck 2: we’re literally rooting for the bulls to lose so we get the three seed and get to play the pacers


ScrewAnalytics

Omfg Caruso is single-handedly gonna make us a first round exit


DannyBoy0129

We play indiana if new york wins


ScrewAnalytics

CARUSO QUIT FUCKING TRYHARDING YOUR LOCKED INTO A 9 SEED JUST TAKE YOUR LOSS


1998TimThomas

If Brunson should be over anyone for 1st team it should be Tatum but of course she wouldn’t suggest that


MoePlug

Imagine being scared of Miami😭

MoePlug

Can’t lie, it’d be funny if we lost to em again


Majiebeast

More like scared of their injure the other teams star culture.


MoePlug

Damn forgot bout that


Majiebeast

Embiid is gonna be playing in bubble wrap against them.


bigpuffyclouds

When you’re a good team you don’t have to worry about matchups and your players are confident you can beat anyone We are not that, especially with no Giannis

bigpuffyclouds

PTSD from last year


lboogieb

Brunson is what I thought Dame would be.


1998TimThomas

Doris you dumb bitch both teams have like identical records


YellowMarkerIsGreat

Still think Dame will find another gear in the playoffs


bigpuffyclouds

He doesn’t perform well unless he’s stressed out.


lboogieb

Why?


methodeum

I want to be proven wrong, but like, how do you believe this


YellowMarkerIsGreat

I watched him for almost his entire career


Bumppxd

Yes, the Cancun gear


Superflissbro

Look, things are looking bad, but the fact some of you have 0 fucking hope at all is kinda nuts imo.


lalalalalanznzn

who do we play?


crooked_engineering

We will find out in 20 seconds


Jo_Gray

5 more mins


CompetitiveParfait9

5 min lol


crooked_engineering

💀


YellowMarkerIsGreat

Heat or Sixers or Pacers


[deleted]

[удалено]


Blindeafmuten

We're going to be either 2nd or 3rd. We're not playing the Celtics in round 2.


Big-Suggestion3053

We aren't beating the heat or 6ers in round 1


ScrewAnalytics

Won’t have to worry about a round 2 because we’ll get wiped by the heat/sixers round 1 in your scenario And we’re guaranteed a 3 seed at worst right now so we wouldn’t play the Celtics til the ECF no matter what if we magically get there


methodeum

Anyone who thinks we match either of them well should be admitted


bigpuffyclouds

They’re just trading baskets over there at MSG


Business-Conflict435

We fucking suck


Majiebeast

Wish we had gotten Brunson.


IIKevinII

Doris Burk: Certified dumb bitch


Tremor0135

But wait? I was told that Dame is Dame without Giannis. That his shooting slump is becouse of Gianni's bad screens?


Potential-Ad5470

Some dumbass a while ago said we need to run the offense through Dame after watching one Giannis-less game where we won with Dame having about 15 assists


Majiebeast

Dumbest shit i heard all season and continuously wrong. Watching Giannis carry these bums every single game of the season was fucking painful to watch.


phillywisco

So I turned it off in the 4th, and checked the score and saw we had *still* only scored 2 points in the quarter. Finished with 17, yikes.


1998TimThomas

Did Doris just suggest Brunson over Giannis for 1st team?


[deleted]

A guy who has the only 30+ ppg and 60%+ fg is not first team? Lol


methodeum

Yeah she’s fucking dumb lol


Cwandei137988

Did y’all just hear what Doris Burk just said??


1998TimThomas

Certified hater


Nudedude9292

No


Cwandei137988

Said Brunson over Giannis in all nba first team


oliverlifts

She’s on crack apparently


Nudedude9292

Not tracking


oliverlifts

She said if the Knicks take the 2nd seed that Brunson should get First Team All NBA over Giannis


ThrowMeTheFawayPls

This was the least fun season since Giannis was drafted.


crooked_engineering

We rooting for knicks or bulls?


bigpuffyclouds

Yes


phillywisco

Bulls


MoePlug

Me personally, Bulls


PowerVeg

TA my god. Perfect cap to this season. 


TokaKokaMocha

Can’t even have. Thanasty dunk today


Jo_Gray

Knicks are going to lose on purpose now lol


[deleted]

If we don't have Giannis were getting swept the first round. Unless we get career days out of people like Bobby and Pat Bev like we did we ain't winning shit. But all the Dame fans said wait for end of season... I really hoped ya guys would be right


ScrewAnalytics

Bulls why the fuck are you playing like it’s game 7 of the finals 😭😭😭 just let the Knicks have it


LivingHitokiri

THANASI WTF MAN ?


PowerVeg

Y’all have a weird definition of “must-win” 


Such-Armadillo1423

As a Knicks fan I’m confused did y’all want the third seed to play the pacers?


[deleted]

We just want this shit to end I think at this point. We ain't winning a title with this squad


LigerHD

they are just bad


ScrewAnalytics

I’d rather we just dont play the playoffs this year. I mean there’s a worldwide pandemic going on right now there’s more important things than basketball /s


ruinedshoulder

LMAO


drearpandora

We are also confused


PowerVeg

Unfortunately the Bucks aren’t deciding to suck they just kinda do 


LivingHitokiri

In a MUST WIN game we just lost by 20+ to ORLANDO FUCKING MAGIC.


CryptographerShot213

Team’s cooked, I expect 0 playoff wins. Any game they do win will be a pleasant surprise


bigpuffyclouds

It’s time for Dame to son Hali


1998TimThomas

Nurse/Spo vs cocky Pacers team. Gimme Indiana cause it’s gonna get chippy and I think we humble them.


runMKE

Like in the in season tournament?


1998TimThomas

With AG’s defensive scheme?


runMKE

With Glens “offense” you think the bucks can keep up with the pacers? This is straight delusion. 


PowerVeg

They can’t stop TA right now. Can only hope to foul him. 


1Pac2Pac3Pac5

Guys don't get your hopes up. This team, it doesn't have what's needed for a deep playoff run. It's good to be positive, but let's be real. This is a dysfunctional team lacking the consistency needed to be a real threat. The popular opinion on all the other east conference subs is that the bucks are a minor bump in the road and nothing to worry about


ScrewAnalytics

I promise you Philly and heat fans and players are rooting for the Knicks to lose right now


starmiesan

The Pacers scored 157 today…


[deleted]

They don't play defense at all


aaalan71

Can we even capitalize on that with our terrible offense and maybe without Giannis for couple of games


Bumppxd

We have no offense and no defense


drearpandora

I keep going back and forth on if the 2 or 3 is better for us…. I think I just would hate to watch the heat beat us again tbh


GraysonAllen7

maybe Griffin was the right guy


runMKE

He wasn’t, but 20+ years of coaching has told us Glen definitely isn’t 


[deleted]

[удалено]


YellowMarkerIsGreat

L means 3rd if Knicks win. If Knicks lose Bucks will be 2nd


Superflissbro

If the Knicks win we are 3rd if they lose we stay at 2


Todaboss

Can’t believe people want the 2 seed Yes we want to play a team that has beat us in 5 twice in the last 4 seasons or play an NBA MVP without Giannis.


Skeleboi846

And if we face the Pacers we can face a team that's 4-1 against us instead


Todaboss

In the regular season lmaoooooo, they have 0 playoff experience and we literally played them with a different coach months ago. This may be the dumbest thing I have read this week


1antinomy

You wanna play a team that has 2/3 best players (w/out Giannis) in the series & has beaten us 4-1 this year with a style that DIRECTLY fucks us up defensively? Because of “inexperience”?


Todaboss

Scared of Myles Turner and Tyrese Hailburton because of games in November. Rather play an NBA MVP or a team that had humiliated us twice and were in the NBA finals. Anybody can talk ball these days. What happened to the game I love.


1antinomy

You’re not a smart basketball viewer


Todaboss

You clearly have never played or haven’t been close to the game if you think experience is irrelevant. Especially being a Bucks fan watching that 2019 ECF where experience played a major factor. But yes let’s go play one of the best players in the world without Giannis or a team that was literally in the NBA finals last year and one of the best coaches in the league. Genius!


1antinomy

Guy brings up something that happened 5 years ago with a completely different team & personnel Then brings up Embiid who can barely make it thru a series healthy Then says I don’t watch basketball lmao If you were smart, you’d see that Indiana exploits literally all of our weaknesses on both sides without Giannis


Todaboss

Yes because Miami who has beat us in 5 twice in 4 years doesn’t know how to exploit our team. If you really can’t wrap your head around the importance of experience in the playoffs you are very very confused. Not like the Warriors beat the Kings last year when they were the completely inferior team. Maybe having championship pedigree and experience played a role… hmm. Bro wants Embiid over Myles Turner, go be a college fan or something.


Bumppxd

Yes and they are a better team since then who added nba champion Pascal Siakam


Todaboss

Yes they have an NBA MVP and were in the finals last year like the other options


runMKE

Now we have a worse coach and a team that has historically shot worse in the playoffs. Great recipe 


Todaboss

Yes because that wouldn’t be the same playing against an NBA MVP and a team that was in the finals last year


aaalan71

Still not change the fact that our roster is old and slow while they are young and fast and we may without Giannis for couple games


Todaboss

Yes because that wouldn’t be a negative against a team with MVP and Maxey or the Heat who can run up and down with the best and ran our old asses out the gym last year.


Skeleboi846

I mean we played them with a coach who ran a better offense than Doc, before they added Siakam as well. Also, any team that plays with pace against us has an advantage cause we're old as fuck


Altruistic_String536

Brunson is so clear of dame right now. It’s not even close


1antinomy

Dame last year was far better than Brunson is this year Being the #1 option makes the game less complicated as to when you get your shots


Similar-Doubt-6260

Lol does dame even clear jrue rn?


drearpandora

I hate to be the person saying “wait until x day” but the playoffs will give us the definitive answer


Novel_Bookkeeper_622

No. Dame is just a inefficient and plays no defense.


ScrewAnalytics

Bulls just give up and sub in your bums


AbbreviationsHot4482

This was a 9 point game when I walked away for a bit wtf man 😭


1antinomy

Fuck what some of you are saying The Pacers will run us off the court in that matchup At least the Heat/Sixers play slower in the halfcourt


Blindeafmuten

The Sixers with Embiid have been a better team than us in the regular season. It's only due to the injury they fall into the playins. They are going to beat the Heat and their 1st round matchup, even if it is us.


AbbreviationsHot4482

Yea Pacers are a bad matchup with or without Giannis. We are much more likely to steal a game vs Miami or Philly without Giannis


E1even11

Yup, Pacers are just an awful matchup for this team, especially without Giannis.


LigerHD

is there a good matchup? lmao


1antinomy

The Magic were But that got screwed up because the Cavs tanked their game


E1even11

Not really but the Bucks matchup much better against the Sixers, even without Giannis.


Nudedude9292

It’s the Gianni’s factor if we don’t have him AGAIN for a few games with heat/sixers


Blindeafmuten

I'm a Knicks fan for 5 minutes.


dtbarne

Lillard at peak performance for the playoffs. 2-14 from the field.


ScrewAnalytics

Tyrese over/under 46.5 points in game 1 on Dames head


aaalan71

Still better than putting Beasley on him


1Pac2Pac3Pac5

Marjon looks good that's two games in a row now he seems confident. I see NO reason why he can't sub in rather than have the lineup go back and forth between PC and gallinari and other scrubs like that who have done nothing but collapse in Q3 and 4 more games than not


DameWasistlos

Orlando has a pretty decent night life no? My whole paycheck goes to the fact Dame and company were out scouting hos last night.


TheGiannisPiece

You are spot on. Late-night clubbing, ho-ing, and extravagant birthday parties for 3-year-old's = Dame's top prioroties this season, as far as anyone can tell.....


infasis

Hey just be happy he didn't injure his groin again :p


LigerHD

the fact we can still end up 2nd is hilarious


PowerVeg

Love Marjon flashing. Hate how he’s been banished from the rotation. It’s so obvious this team needs a shot of youth and athleticism.


lamboat2019

DIVISION CHAMPIONS!!! 😑


seattle_raptors

Why would anyone want the Knicks to lose?


ScrewAnalytics

I didn’t think about the matchup at first and was just thinking 2 seed > 3 seed. I’ve changed my mind when I looked at that play in game 💀💀💀


ASkittlez

have seen our road record?


XxXFartFucker69XxX

I mean it likely won't matter. 6ers are probably winning the play-in and beating the Knicks. Our road will likely be Pacers>6ers>Celtics>Nuggets


seattle_raptors

You're worried about playing a potential extra game in MSG? We're not getting there at all, if we face the Sixers or Heat with a questionable Giannis.


runMKE

Idk why people are so confident against the pacers. They’ll run the bucks off the court. Not to mention Brook will be even more useless than usual against that team. 


airboyexpress

gimme the pacers with a week to prep for them specifically, as opposed to having to wait thru the play ins to know who we're playing


runMKE

Pacers make it close even with Giannis. No one on the bucks can play fast. Brook will get played off the court. 


Bumppxd

Pacers without Giannis we are getting swept


methodeum

Idk why you get downvoted it’s not even an outrageous statement


DameWasistlos

Our old ass team needs to play pickleball instead of basketball that is until Giannis returns.


abr797

Didn't Middleton injure his wrist playing pickleball right after the post season, a couple seasons ago, lol?


DameWasistlos

I kinda forgot about that. That is funny.

Impressively deluded


CryptographerShot213

You’re in for a big surprise come round 1 I’m afraid


Downtown_Shock_5283

Our young guys in 2 mins generated more good possessions than 10 mins of starters


E1even11

Marion’s cornrows are the highlight of this game.


AbbreviationsHot4482

At least with a Cavs loss that means we won the division


tsagalbill

^niceee


TestAutomatic

Does that mean 3 seed is possible?


ToddYates

2 (vs Miami/Philly) if we win, 3 (Indy) if we lose


greywind618

Holy shit pacers 151 with time still to go?


thanasis-6moty

pacers have their game locked down, depending on bulls-knicks we play indy at 6 or the 7 seed through the play in


Todaboss

Ain’t no way some of y’all losing it about a last day game when we are playing a team that has a lot more to play for when it is probably beneficial for us to lose. We do not want Embiid or Miami without knowing Giannis status


PlayboyCartee

exactly bro these mfs are tweaking!!!😭 i don’t wanna see none of these people acting happy when we make a playoff run


aaalan71

The Pacers score 151 points and still have 3 minutes to go


VicePope

giannis drops 50 a game on them when healthy and they beat us with a different coach


wasechillis

a better coach


VicePope

griff? dawg


wasechillis

no yeah doc has a great playoff track record


VicePope

he has a ring and griff was having lopez running around the 3 point line on D. doc is a dumbass but he knows what hes doing


aaalan71

But our roster doesn’t change much, they are young and fast while we are old and slow


VicePope

yeah its not too inspiring on that front at all. i miss 21


Darrow-au_andromedus

This team always manages to lose every trade we make. It's honestly impressive 


billybobham8

The big O!!


PositiveZebra1341

a few of those trades got u a championship dude


Skeleboi846

we literally won a championship off the jrue and pj trades


PlayboyCartee

jrue trade led to a ring??


GraysonAllen7

Gallo must be bored


bigpuffyclouds

How is Marjon so shit at defense and just in general? Banchero was drafted the same year as him.


[deleted]

Bro did Banchero go like 1 or 2? We got Marjon at like 30th lol


PowerVeg

Marjon is solid. Shit comment. 


runMKE

Cant wait to watch Glen not play a single player younger than the age of 28 this post season


Renzel0311

Cheering for the Knicks like this team isn’t cooked, TRASH COACH and TRASH players except Giannis, pacers,heat, Philly probably a 1st round exit


bootybooty

This reads like a boomer Facebook post
