I have been reading a lot about replacing Payton. As it is, he comes out after around 4 min (of relative unproductivity) into the 1st and 3rd Qaurters. At this point, it is just a show of support for a guy who has been a starter the whole season.
Not sure anyone on the knicks can really guard Young. Maybe Frankie, but he picks up fouls like Urshela picks up grounders !!! I would like to see Burks in the starting lineup - at least he can provide some offense. He has been playing with the first unit + Rose at the end of games any way.
Leave it to Thibs to figure out.

looked a lot better last night.......and it looks like Rose may start starting !!
I like Gibson under the basket....he has sure hands and really really hustles after rebounds, and he can hit a short range jump shot.
I am also loving seeing Quickley and Obi get so much playing time in their first playoffs. Regardless of the outcome, it is priceless experience for them moving forward with their careers...good coaching Thibs !!!
Curious to see how they respond to a much larger and louder hostile away crowd, somethings that were missing during the regular season.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKNICKS !!!!

Rose was the man last night. When we win it seems like one or two guys elevate their game. Most of the season it has been Julius. I am not sure if ATL poses more difficult matches for him or he is injured or tired. He is justly tired as he has rose this team from a lottery team to a playoff team. I absolutely love the enthusiasm as the benchnwas more crazy than the Garden crowd. I think we will steal one in Atl and take back home court. Go Knickerbockers.

What the hell is wrong with Randle and Barrett ??😤🤯
With normal production from them and we could easily be up 3-0 !!

We need to get this figured out now or the party is over. It seems like Randle is double teamed a lot, especially as he enters the paint. Obviously someone else is open. I have no clue as to what is going on with Barrett. How is Young so open so much of the time? Go Knicks. Need to get off strong on Sunday, can't fall behind by double digits.

Oh how I hope the Knicks win on Sunday. With the Yanks playing "must not watch tv" we need something to watch. I don't want to be in "I can't wait for the Giants opener" mode.

yup, they are faster, better passers, and seems everyone can shoot the 3 !!
Knicks could not even execute a schoolyard 2 on 1 break........

I hope they get off to a good start, play good defense and don't fold when the Hawks have their inevitable run. I hope the fans have a lot to cheer about, are grateful to have basketball ball and behave themselves.

Maybe the success of this year will make MSG an attractive landing site for some FA help. Thanks for a good season and I will be looking forward to the 21-22 season.

anti climactic ending to the season....I has suspicions all along that they would have a tough time beating a team in a series.
like tt said, hope they can land a good FA or two. They also have multiple picks in the first round.
rest well knickerbockers.......we will see you in a few months.

Seeing how the Hawks are playing the Sixers, it probably meant that the Hawks were that good and maybe the Knicks weren't so bad after all. In retrospect it was a great season for the Knicks. Hopefully they will fare well in the draft and free agency. Surely, the Garden is a more attractive place to play than it was a year ago. Go Knicks!
