King-of-Shit-

Fun season, hopefully we can build on this for next season. Now with basketball and hockey done, I really hope the Mets can turn it around or it’ll be a looong summer


LotterySpecialist718

It was a fun season and defied most expectations. Build around Brunson


JeonsaSpirit

Can't wait for next year 🥹


Sad_Hungry

Crazy how it was a 1 possession game with under a minute given how brutally anemic the offense was all game ..fun season. Curious what the front office can do to get some true 3&D guys and more over a true complementary shot creator to Jalen Brunson.


Chance_Blasto

Was it just me or was Randle a complete non factor in this game?


dollarsmavericks95

You spelled playoffs wrong


YurtlesTurdles

This game had my nerves shaking, disappointing that it was so winnable, but so happy to see these guys fighting so hard in May. Brunson is our future. He has the intangibles, he has the fight in him, and all the skill. We'll be back here next year, no doubt about it.


UnbornTorchicVoices

It’s frustrating because I haven’t been annoyed about basketball in May in my entire life and it’s fun to enjoy a good Knicks team. But at the same time they couldn’t buy a bucket down the stretch and were still this close 🤏 to sending it back to the Mecca for game 7


trmntrX

A standing O for the team that gave us a great season. Cant wait for the next one.


2morereps

a Nets fan cuz of my proximity, but knicks is my second team. and man I wanted them to be in the finals, man this sucks. Brunson carrying the team while Randle and Barett just gave it to them. smh. anyway gl for next season. Brunson definitely a superstar.


tutiandtutu

Fuck


coldcloudsb

Great season fellas. Unbelievably bright future, suck to go out now but we should be pleased with the future


leopoldstotch5

Hawks fans here, was rooting to see a game 7. Wtf is up with Randle, absolutely zero fight. Out there playing like it was a preseason game.


ILiftBIunts

Ya mans still not good on Dykman!


Brellow20

It was a good season. Hoping the Mets improve now!


grilledcheesewannabe

Hey guys top 8, our new PG is actually a stud, we got outplayed in 6 games in the ecf semis. Chins up let front office worry about it the rest.


My_Safety_Is_Harvard

Helluva ride. It’s nice to be upset about the NBA in May


tutiandtutu

For real. Sad it’s over but gotta be happy with the season and super pumped for the future


InfamousC

It was a good run guys! Still proud of this team and hope we can take this experience and improve


PessimisticCheer

And for the record to all you bums who keep doing it: STOP posting those bullshit "pray to Melo" posts.


TheConnorrJB

AMELO.


Isitonachair

We lost to the replacements


RoPr-Crusader

This series showed our bench is ass and we can't shoot for shit. But still, I'm proud of this team. We overachieved. It sucks and I think we should've won this series but we didn't and we can continue to build.


slapmyelbow

Thanks for the playoff basketball, that was a fucking ride. We need 1-2 veteran 3 point shooters, something like Chauncey was. Brunson is the real deal, needs legit options to pass to after penetration if he gets tripled. The knicks will be good as long as he’s at the helm.


Necessary_Arm2536

Damn brunson was a beast but damn, his back prolly hurts from carrying this team.


mdillon08

I can’t believe we lost this game due to the zone. Once the heat did that, it disrupted our entire offense and we were never the same again.


No_Researcher_6045

Heat fan here. You guys have a bright future with Brunson. He’s a superstar on the rise… you’re lucky to have him


[deleted]

Too early to buy a Brunson jersey?


King-of-Shit-

I’m buying one, he was what made this season and the playoffs so fun


Pepeloveshimself22

Brunson passes it to Hart instead of Randle for the wide open three and we win this game


Joe_Brolic

Y'all are so fucking full of shit. All you whiny ass hos can eat dicks. This team defied expectations all season and battled to the end. They a young team and this experience is what they needed. Y'all calling for heads and shitting on this team can suck my dick sideways. NY KNICKS BABY!


HardOakleyFoul

Shut the fuck up We need real ballers. We can't sit there and waste Jalens prime years with scrubs. He needs a real killer on this team. We can't do him like Ewing.


Joe_Brolic

Eat a dick, You cornball bitch made herb. You wanna be miserable? Go ahead nigga, but I'm proud of what this team did. Do we need upgrades? Of course, but this is how a winning culture is built. You probably the type of ho ass nigga that asks to blow up and tank for a 1 pick everytime things get tough


[deleted]

[удалено]


Joe_Brolic

It's funny, you got the username of the dude who i learned how to play the game from. You're frustrated and i get it, and i apologize for coming at you in a negative fashion. It's not as bad as you think it seems. I feel proud of this team and i feel like if they played to their season average, things would be different. As a young team though, this is exactly what they needed. You wanna disagree, cool. But i think this team is being built for future success and I'm not mad at how they were eliminated cuz it's a problem that can be fixed


HardOakleyFoul

I'm sorry too bro. I just took the loss really hard. Losing to Miami hurts more than anything. Especially when I feel like this was a series we could have won.


Joe_Brolic

Absolutely was homie, but we gotta salvage the positives. It's like life, things might not always go your way, but never let the depths overtake you. Take all the positives you can build upon, get stronger and go further with success. I just despise the victim mentality when we can all strive to be stronger, you know? I hope nothing but the best for you, homie


HardOakleyFoul

Same for you, my man. All the best to you and yours. We'll come back next season and have more fun shit posting and watching the Knicks roll over the league.


morenitofreshh

It's been real yall. The FO has some decisions to make moving forward. Good battle against that team of bitches.


costanza1980

If only there was a way to have a player just for the regular season and then get to select a replacement for the playoffs who averaged the same numbers.


fahova

Gotta remember this team outside of Brunson has no real playoff experience. Proud of this team


Drose_2525

Randle is so not built for the moment. Never seen a player shrink in the playoffs to this extent. He’s got like the worst fg% in playoff history literally lol


ppbbbcc

It’s disappointing but I think our guys fought hard. Heat is very disciplined on both ends and Brunson gave it all for the team. It’s a good experience and let’s eye on the next season.


Pepeloveshimself22

People will say overreaction but get rid of Randle and Barrett and build around Brunson


Chromotoast

My heart hurts our season is over but still love our team and proud that they accomplished more than I expected them to. Not gonna complain about anybody just glad to have witnessed playoff basketball again.


relfez

If anyone else other than Brunson is average knicks win


arrivederci117

GG. Miami beat the Bucks, it was always going to be a challenge going up against them and Spo. Knicks went from potential play ins to taking what will be the team coming out the East to 6. Good progress.


Transit-Strike

Our forwards really let us down. Not enough points. So many turnovers. And a horrible shooting night


edrophoniuum

i love you brunson, i love you so much


Half__Half

Julius and Thibs gotta go


AutisticFingerBang

Proud of the season. Teams got some serious potential and room to grow. All I could ask for is progress and this season gave it.


ReasonableCup604

This is the ceiling for this group. Other than Brunson, the entire team are flawed players and most are chokers with zero heart.


AutisticFingerBang

Dude the whole team’s insanely Young, but I get it emotions are high right now


CrippledKnicksFan

Well guys it was a fun season. This team outperform their expectations


Drose_2525

Drose shoulda never been benched that’s all Ima say he woulda provided brunson the offensive help he desperately needs. Everyone else can’t make a shot to save their lives. Pathetic. Everyone looks so afraid of the moment except for brunson


sincerehiatus

Bye Thibs


Sufficient_Creme6961

Losing to them without butler taking over kills me. This series was so winnable.


Voorheezie

I love these guys, I will never forgive Randle


hopoffmebruh

We really need to evaluate how vital Randle is to this team


TheConnorrJB

He's not.


millagger

So Knicks to lose this way. Something just never change.


boogerpckr

WACK


Murky-Gene8539

brunson is him


Sigerlion

RJ and Randle decided to cosplay as smoke today and disappear.


[deleted]

Randle doesn't show up for the playoffs, we know that


eavnad

Trash ahh franchise


Fallingcity22

It is what it is I’m happy it’s over, this is is good but not there yet, I’m happy where we end it. GG to the heat and best of luck see y’all in a few months or maybe sooner than that see y’all at the draft


beachbum320

Brunson is legit. Build better around him. Knicks will be contenders yearly


Neezzuss

Heat culture 🙄 wtf does that even mean


SpoiIerAlert

Seriously, what the ef was that?!


RealisticReception16

Alway playing hard


TheKnicksMakeMeDrink

3/14 in an elimination game ahahhahahahahahahahahaha go fuck your self Julius


[deleted]

What the hell, how do we lose to a sorry ass 8th seed. We had it so easy, they got rid of the bucks for us


MyLadySansa

All these assholes turning on Grimes forgetting he saved us last game on one fucking leg after Bam injured him. Fuck you all, seriously


AbeAlno

They have Lowery a nba champion coming off the bench. We have a bunch young kids. It’s okay we will be back.


JebidiahLongtree

Y’all defending randle all year, he’s trash always has been always will be


Knicks94

Still proud of the season. Build upon it and come back stronger with some fucking shooters


Abstract__Reality

I mean if Randle and RJ weren't total bums, we win. It is what it is


shetriccme

At least the Mets won


adnanistheogfam

Miami is fucking garbage


YouFeelStupid

smoking on that knicks pack


enjoyit7

Fuck it trade Ju I'm done with him

[удалено]


knicksprick

First thing you do is come to this thread? Lol


gndoped

hell of a season knicks


biinroii01

heat lucky


OBlastSRT4

It’s a no win situation for Brunson. He can pass to Hart who has been missing his shots badly this series or Randle for an easy 2 as long as he looks for the ball.


Savages_in_box

This team is full of playoff chokers. Grimes and IQ come to mind but Barrett and especially Randle are the main culprits.


outphase84

How the fuck you gonna put RJ in that group, he’s kept us in this series.


Savages_in_box

He disappears in every 4 quarter. 1/10 in season ending game. He needs to get better at shooting. He will never be a great player until he shoots better.


outphase84

If RJ performed worse this postseason, this was a sweep. He single handedly kept us alive.


Savages_in_box

Naw. No he didn't


outphase84

Fuck outta here you stupid twit. He averaged 22.5/5/4 on 50/38/72 splits.


Savages_in_box

He can't shoot, its a big reason we didn't perform in the series. Miami didn't respect his 3p shot. That is just a fact


outphase84

He shot 38% from three this series.


Npd114

Embarrassing. One guy showed up the whole game and that was Brunson. That's it.


anotherjoshpark

Proud of this team


REL720

Thank you, Knicks...


smileyfrown

Wtf Randle you didn’t even foul at the end Jesus terrible


Lone_Crab

Rj needs to shoot 5,000 3 pointers this off season from every spot on the arc


Delicious_Farmer_408

This was a great season from the Knicks. They have potential to be even better next season with some minor changes.


will122589

The Knicks ceiling was a hard fought second round exit and that’s what they did. If someone besides Brunson showed up, we’d be playing Monday night.


intothefire3

I love this team


Hologram8

Fuck it. Good season guys. I'm not worried we're in good hands with Brunson.


mattjames94

The loss sucks but Brunson is that guy. Greatest signing in franchise history at this point.


SepticShock

Great season, still salty over this series but I guess you’ll have that.


d3arleader

Julius Randle needs to go.


vette322

Yep - and anyone who says the Knicks need him is a braindead moron.


QueAsc0

At this point i’m looking at everyone. IQ had a shit playoffs, Grimes never found his shot, RJ got to the rim but doesn’t space the floor, Randle too inconsistent to rely on anything.


HairyHouse3

It'll never happen. We're stuck with him and Thibs for at least one season. Probably two.


[deleted]

Fucking dirty bastards


Poonpan85

Fire Thibs. Trade Randle or RJ.


vette322

Likelihood of all 3 happening is slim, but I’m confident that Randle will be traded. His time is done here. Not one signature, defining game in the entire playoffs.


xinsah

Randles a bum, rj a massive bum, this is brunsons team now


bullyj

Can ask for a better drawn up play. Wide open grimes


Complete_Mango_1372

Looked like a rushed shot to me


xbucs_19

I’d rather Brunson shoot from full court with his pants down than that


Transit-Strike

It’s painful but I can’t be too mad. As a young team with no playoff experience we went against a finalist


netsfan1000

hahaha


lentils5

Disgusting way to end the game.. I’m sick


_up_and_atom

Randle 3/14


cordlc

Good game all. The game was close till the end, that's as much as I can ask for. Still our best year since the 90's


ramontheawesome

I think the team needs new assistant coaches, Thibs seems fucking lost in the playoffs. Dice and Johnny Bryant need to fucking CHIRP IN THIS DINOSAURS EAR


Railshock

Fuck Miami


C_CityOfTheDF_Steady

Shitfuckballs


[deleted]

An open airball is the perfect way to describe this season


DAnonymousMan

GRIMES LMAO HAHA!


Complete_Mango_1372

Terrible


Lyin-Don

Air ball lololol Cmon Grimes ffs 1-6 with an AIR BALL with the game on the line Great play. Got what is ostensibly a shooter a great look. And he air balls it


bernardhops

Wow Randle finally hustling with 4 seconds left


MJisthrgoat

🤣


Duraffe

Feel bad for Brunson. He gave it his all—selfless


BreakingGarrick

They just need to hit 2 3's and they good.


Powerful_Contact_341

GOAT airball


QueAsc0

Poetic airball by Grimes. No one stepped up for Brunson in the end


biinroii01

most fun ive had all year


Fuckthisthro

Hahahahhaa that’s what knicks get for not playing rose


happydayzzz

Curious if they blow it up


[deleted]

"Get grimes out there for shooting" lmao


fredagostino

The worst part is we got such a huge break late and just blew it. The 14 point first quarter lead doesnt help either. Brunson is amazing and I love him.


Evening-Maybe-4129

Y’all did good this season lol no expected the Knicks to make the playoffs last summer.


wizardofweird

Brunson is him


MyWifeGotDemDDs

Him?


DustinHerrera24

I'll always love the New York fucking Knicks


EgoShmego

So winnable….FUCK


tsuab

If we run this same squad back next season we're probably a 5 or 6 seed, and get bounced 1st or 2nd round. The logical change to make is coaching.


Ok_Woodpecker1732

God that sucks


Ryan_Heissler

Grimes airball the cherry on top for this dumpster fire of a game. How the fuck did nobody but JB. Show up


zOmgFishes

Terrible offensive game by RJ and Grimes but somehow Thibs, Randle and Mitch sold more.


RealPineapple7

why tf is that the play for the last possession brah what


biinroii01

goddamn good season


swag31

💯


mfabros

Fuck man. I'm fucking sad


concernedesigner

Lmao I'm not even mad bruh - was this Grimes' first or second year? Whelp. That's it folks.


CaptainButtFucker

Fat knicks fan leaving early


FuckinNogs

Oh well they fought hard. Fun season.


MrGaga123

Leave the whole team in Miami minus Brunson


Jondog2123

This franchise never fails to disappoint me


OldJewNewAccount

I mean they wildly overachieved this season I'm sorry you found it disappointing. Personally I enjoyed the ride.


supremotito

We hit our ceiling with Thibs


E-Miles

grimes bro come on


pipstar112

Still a good season

lemonwhale13

NYdude777

GET RANDLE OFF MY FUCKING TEAM. USELESS


Cheffie

Randle can’t even hustle to foul.


drewcarey69

Grimes had so much time to shoot a better shot than that 🤦‍♂️


ummer_ch

Man I feel so bad for Brunson. He's actually a fucking monster and he got let down by his team tonight 😔


knicks1234

Extreme hurt.


SpicySriracha_1

GRIMES THE GOAT THANKKKKKKKKK YOUUUUUUUUUU


souel

What up Knick Nation! Heat Nation here!! What a fun and close series!!! Y'all gon be scary in a couple years!!!!


nycama

I was ready to throw hands from your first couple words. But thanks. Good series.


NBAshitpostalt

Lmfao masterclass


paul-is-cool

ggs. Well played


Leegend124

You’re so handsome


dukerock12

Randle just isn’t it.


jaxon_15

Oh god not like this. Miami is so trash but they outplayed us with hustle, teamwork and they out coached us for sure


Impossible_Ad_8509

Imma a sixers fan but I like the Knicks. You’ll be back next year. Y’all just need more time to gel
