Nick was so obviously rooting for Denver to get swept last week

A Coach Thibs team wearing down in the playoffs after playing hard af during the season. Never would've expected it

Wildes, “Hold my hand” is a riot!!! 😂😂😂😂😂

Pacers fan here: First off, fck Trae Young, we both agree. But seriously - Brunson, DiVincenzo & Co. have shown true-ass heart & grit this series despite being in a millionaire league where that's the exception to the rule. No matter what the series outcome is, any real Hoosier or NY ball fan knows they're out there pushing through the struggle.

NYK forgot their defense... the fast pace is not helping New York. They need to slow down and force Indiana to defend total 24 seconds.

His assessment is as good as a parrot’s assessment. Mitch Robinson injured nothing to do with minutes, Julius Randle out on a dirty play by Miami months ago, OG barely played this year…hamstring injury because he is made of glass…always injured…Bogdon trips 9 seconds into coming off bench…nothing to do with minutes. Idiotic narrative

lol Nick didn't know Hartenstein is left handed lol

Nick is so right here. OG shouldn't have been playing more than 35 minutes per game with his injury history. If a coach can't find 10-15 minutes for a plug and play offensive player like Burks or a versatile defender like Precious, what is he being paid for? It would be different if the Knicks actually only had 6-7 good players, but Thibs just let capable rotational players sit while he ran guys into the ground. If I'm Precious or Burks or Jericho Sims I'm highly offended that my coach thinks a guy hopping around on one leg is better than me on two healthy legs.

I appreciate nick actually calling out thibs one of the few things nick is right on

The refs better show up for my Knicks. We're sick of small market teams making it this far.

Is it minutes restrictions, or common sense roster management? All the HOF's you've seen in your life don't play all 48 minutes every playoff game. Maybe in a game 7.

Last year, the Nuggets didn't have any players average over 40 minutes per game in the playoffs. The year before the Warriors didn't have any player average over 40 minutes per game in the playoffs. Middleton led the championship Bucks in playoff minutes playing 40.1 minutes per game. All of a sudden "never won anything" Thibs has discovered a new "play the starters the whole game" strategy and people question why it doesn't work???

hold my hand lol

HALIBURTON IS INJURED TOO. He has three listed injuries. Stop talking about “Brunson is playing hurt.”

The Knicks could use another star too

Knicks be barely winning games and when they do win it’s always questionable because of the refs bailing them out

Wrong. It's not because of roster weakness, it's because they had zero fight in them, they seemed to just give up after the first 5 minutes of play. Dante Achuiwa Hart McBride Burk and even foot injury Brunson are perfectly capable of having good games. This was on all of them. A weak bench doesn't get you down by 40 points.

They are gassed. That philly series was intense and a bit physically draining. Now it's a young team that loves to really get out ahead of you & will run you up the court all night. NY is winded like hell right now and you lose posture and poise when you have to dip into your ressrves that early.

Even if the Knicks beat the pacers and make the conference finals, they might not even have 5 players eligible to play. I mean damn at some point with all these minutes being played and injuries happening, the teams gonna crash. Lord have mercy Thibbs😭😭😭

I bet Commissioner Silver was happy to see the boxscores of 31 Free throws Knicks and 8 Pacers but than saw the Final score and had the same reaction as he had at the All Star game 😂. Everyone knows the league wants Knicks vs Celtics in the ECF!

These guys are suppose to be experts right? But they don’t point out that 3 of the guys out for the Knicks have nothing to do with overuse, nothing whatsoever. He’s had to play these guys big minutes because there’s noone left.

So Austin Rivers thinks 30 NBA players can make an NfL team right now, but Nick thinks guys are hurt because ~checks notes~ they played the games?

True, most players max time is gonna be time of possession. so, if your team runs 50 plays which is very high, you may play 40 minutes. don't forget Diva RBs and WRs need a break to catch their breath...but basketball players keep running up and down till a timeout or injury happens. Think all those football heads like James Jones forgot that. get a rub down from 5he trainers or injection. lol.

He’s comparing Jokic endurance to Hart? There are times Jokic has to walk up and down the court, and that’s not to say he’s a superstar. Hart just has absurd conditioning, Mitch getting grabbed by Embiid in air Thibs fault too

Not the point. Even with them being the highest fouling team, 31-8 is a pretty wide margin. So to say the refs didn’t show up for the Knicks…

It's the gambling. Of course, the stand up thing to do is to just say "we're fine, no excuses", but Brunson doesn't want people betting their money on his effed up foot.

to say “yeah we are short handed but there no excuses” sounds like a cop out .. just say “theres no excuses,” why remind people they are short handed! sounds like excuses ..

Chris and Nick have the absolute worst takes.

if playing 40 mins a night gets you hamstring you’re not an elite athlete. soccer players play in bigger arena for 90 mins plus the added time. around 100 mins per game. no time out no unlimited substitution. no air conditioning system. in far more intense leg breaking circumstances where people actually clash their legs into each other. maybe instead of blaming the coach, knicks should tell them to increase their fitness and conditioning. paid like top elite athlete, how about act like one. 😂
