Official '24 NYK playoffs thread, RD1 vs PHI

[keko jones]

Burks needs to be benched, permanently!

 

[jayocampo]

It was evident that OG was experiencing discomfort in his elbow area during the games he played after returning from injury. I even brought it up here, but was told it was just soreness from the bone spur. However, it didn't appear that way to me. I'm feeling down about it.

I said the same thing about being worried and some of yall said "He just has to play thru some soreness."

 

[njavier03]

if neither come back it would be such a disappointing end to the season. Hart, iHart, DDV, and Deuce have all elevated their games this second half of the season. Mitch coming back, along with OG and Randle would've pretty much guaranteed an ECF berth.

that push off was so obvious

 

[keko jones]

Burks embodies the epitome of a buzzkill. He possesses hands like glue; once the ball reaches him, he's not passing it.

 

[jayocampo]

Damn it man...

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Heartbreaker

 

[Air Pope]

Not gonna lie, the lack of obvious foul calls is RIDICULOUS

 

[onewearz]

 

[ballinsam23]

Gotta give it up to this team man. The effort is ridiculous.

Tough loss either way.

 

[pr0phecy718]

Damnit

 

[clyde the glide]

Tough shot by shai. Jalen williams is a stud. I didnt know smh

OKC is literally a young version of our roster. Nothing but scrappy guys with an offensive PG that anchors the offense.

 

[big j 33]

Hit some FTs and we win

 

[biggie62]

Hit some FTs and we win

They also missed a bunch and they shoot 80% as a team. FT misses really canceled themselves out. We are just missing key pieces of the team.

 

[Mister Meaner]

No player authentics I wants [Mitch and/or Deuce] at any spots @MSG so a jacket 4 me & some hoodies for some bitties.

Feels good to be back in my own bed.
Tired as hell but is well worth it seeing outta town kinfolk.
Couple belligerent OKC fans knew which parties to antagonize & who dem boys to keep avoiding eye contact w/ all nite lol.
Pediasure on deck for the recovery.

OG will def be back. Probably don’t see him before the Milwaukee game though. Randle is going to end up looking like Ewing in 99.

I hope so.

But there was report like two weeks ago saying that OG doesn’t want to play thru the pain anymore.

Which makes sense since he’ll be a free agent. I can’t even blame him.

If Randle and OG truly can't come back for the playoffs, what a waste of one of Brunson's prime years.

 

[pr0phecy718]

Today is April fools...so don't fall for any crazy knicks reports today lol

 

[Coupé It]

If we’re going to be without Randle. Whatever. Obviously we’re a better team with him but it’ll be difficult for him to come back and be in NBA shape along with getting accustom to playing with a bunch of new teammates in such a short amount of time.

OG is key tho. He’s so important. I think he’ll eventually end up playing even with those reports out there.

 

[nick.]

Could be cope, but the quote out of context sounds much worse than I think Hart intended.

Seems like Hart was just saying how as players they have to make with what they have. Can't be relying on help coming.

 

[njavier03]

i'm just going to assume that neither are coming back, until proven otherwise

 

[pr0phecy718]

Lol

 

[johnnyredstorm]

How big is the quality difference between Mitchell and ness authentics and swingmans? If it’s like how it used to be back in the day, I’m ok with grabbing two swing men for the price of one, but the Brunson swing man I bought from the Knicks was pure trash so I want to avoid that mistake again.
