Series Thread: 4) NY Knicks vs 5) Atlanta Hawks

[thunderc]

Pretty nice first playoff series by Tre Young

Happy about what?

thibs did nothing to get the team to play under control.

every shot was rushed. Defense was porous throughout...

Happy with the Knicks being in the playoffs and winning a game for the 1st time in 10 years.

Despite what you may think, this was not a good team. They were punching well above their weight during the regular season. They had no offensive firepower outside of Randle so the Hawks shut him down and made the rest of the team have to score

The Knicks won the series 3-0 durin reg season. Same players.

different format , playoffs. The Knicks choked.

none of the Knicks players were properly prepared for this... and that’s on thibs..

Rose and Burks I assume have had playoff experience...

lol, you coddle the Knicks as if they are a bunch of invalids.

For someone that claims to be an expert on all pro athletes you don't know shit. The regular season means nothing. Don't remember exactly what year this was. But the Cavs and Pistons faced each other in the playoffs during LeBron's second stop in Cleveland. The Pistons won the regular season series, then got swept in the playoffs.

Saw this on sportscenter this morning. Young's only the 2nd NBAer to score 30 in 3 straight playoff games at MSG since MJ.

Thibs got a bad team to try their hardest every single game and it gave them a record that didnt represent their talent level. Them getting exposed in the playoffs is due to their lack of talent, not due to thibs.

It was a team f up so why not?

like anything will change...

the franchise stinks

Lol, now they are a bad team?

they choked as a team with Randle being the catalyst.

I'm probably the biggest Julius Randle fan on this board and was disappointed when the Lakers elected not to keep him. But if Julius Randle is your #1 option, you're not going very far in the playoffs. He would be a good #3, maybe even a #2 on a contending team. But he's not a #1.

lol, why am I surprised you takin it all at of context for attention..

Atlanta ain’t that good, the team choked!

The Knicks have a lot of cap space.....add a couple starters

I think the Hawks are establishing themselves as clearly the 4th best team in the East after the East's big 3 of Philly, Milwaukee and Brooklyn.

Young- getting better.

Yet,.....you were bashing them for their offseason acquisitions? LOL.

Julius , needs to follow yellow brick road to get a brain.. dude would be lethal

They are still growing guys. I think John Collins is growing into a great third option and DeAndre Hunter still has room to grow into being that guy you speak of. Also, Capela is the perfect pick and roll 5 to play with Young.

And Collins may leave as a FA since he turned down their offer during the season.

They have plenty of cash to chase FA's....

You didn't watch the series....???? They struggle to score.

Translation: Knicks have a lot of crap space to pick up more crap players who cannot perform in Post season ...


I did not know that Alec burks played pt guard for the Harlem Globtrotters .. and, Julius , you can’t dribble through 3 guys, that’s six hands that will steal ball away from you... what the

I was? I would love for you to find what you are making up right now.

So many times you do this DJ- just make stuff up out of whole cloth with no support. You would be a very poor attorney.
