i can tell u never watched a knicks game this whole season so ill tell YOU why. Randle gets hard fouled by jaime jaquez on a drive to the basket and lands on his shoulder, Embiid a 7'3 280 pound behemoth dives on robinsons knee, Batum rolled on bogdonavic ankle, only player that got injured due to minutes was og but thats because 3 KEY PLAYERS were already injured not by minutes but unfortunate circumstances, so how about u watch the games before opening your mouth,

[@aidenroqz]

​@berrymckockiner5883 you want him to play 12 guys? Look at the mins per game played during the reg season, was any Knicks player in the top 10? When everyone was relatively healthy, he played Burks, Sims, Precious, Boggy, Deuce, and Hart off the bench. And that's before Randle got hurt when we were on a nice run dude. Mitch was already out. With Mitch, you would've had 12 able bodies, but you can't play everyone in the playoffs. Rotations shorten because the games mean more and you can't afford, Burks to have a bad shooting game like he did most of the reg season after he came to the Knicks. You cant have Sims have silly mistakes like he did yesterday, that's why they were not getting playing time, in playoffs games one or 2 mistakes could decide a game. If everyone was healthy, I bet you JB, Donte, OG, Randle, and IHart would start. And Deuce, Boggy, JHart and Mitch would come off the bench, what more could you ask for? What Burks showed in the past 2 games, he didn't show in the reg season, of course you're not gonna trust that he suddenly finds it. Is it nice to see goin forward, yes, but nobody expected Burks to give this team anything in the playoffs.

Maybe all the injuries have finally caught up with them. They are still standing essentially playing with only seven guys, which is a tremendous achievement. Regardless of what happens in the rest of the series, I'm proud of this team and I think Knicks fan should be. But I think a lot of the blame rests with Thibs. You can't run your starters into the ground, especially in today's NBA. When you don't give your bench guys minutes, how do you expect them to step up when needed? He does this to every team he's coached.

[@cleanfresh6718]

60% of the starting rotation is injured and none of that was Thibs fault just unfortunate accidents. If Thibs doesn’t play the players that help the team win then we lose bruh it’s that simple

@@cleanfresh6718 if you run your players in the ground "unfortunate accidents" are more likely to occur. Randle should not have even been playing at that point. D-Rose went from a league MVP to a role player because of "unfortunate accident" while playing under tibs. Same can be same as Jakim Noah

[@haiKarma]

He was playing his bench. Donte, Hartenstein, and Josh Hart were the Knicks bench. Robinson got hurt landing on a foot, so Hartenstein became the starter and Sims took the bench spot. Randle got hurt in Feb, so Josh Hart took Randle's spot. Achiuwa played the bench. Grimes got traded for Bogdonavich. Donte took Grimes' spot. OG took RJ Barrett's minutes after the trade. McBride took IQ's minutes on the bench. Once OG got surgery from bone spurs on top of Randle's injury is when the Knicks started playing heavier minutes overall. Randle's injury was bc he got undercut in the air and landed on his shoulder.

The Knicks just want to be a game 7 it’s all a business move more games at the garden more money they make 💯 😂

Where’s that energy from game 1&2 Knicks fans

Check it tomorrow, we don't need piped in noise in our arena

[@austinbailey7775]

@@christianvidal1088I’m sure Indiana is trembling

Yeah, most or all of these well-known sports analysts are always wrong, SAS, Perk, and certainly Barkley.

[@thomasthomasthomas296]

it is the coach that ran rose into the ground and pissed off jimmy butler, what did we expect him to do other than run his players into the ground over and iver again

Hoping both this series and the wolves nuggets go 7...

The Knicks are probably banged up but they’re still winning in 6 although the way Haliburton has been playing balling since game 2 I think the Pacers might have a shot of winning

FFS... The guy's name is Thibodeau, nicknamed "Thibs"... Why do people not pronounce it correctly ??? ...Even the Knicks analysts don't say it right... Lol

[@melanatedgod5337]

I love how they dismiss what Charles said. I'm sure Charles has forgotten more basketball than these 2 will ever know. Perk is one of the worst on tv.

Charles Barkley working when he ain’t even on the clock or there

[@MrNaturalSez]

Oh well, at least the Mets and Yankees showed up for Mother's Day...

[@scottcooper444]

I trust CB over any of these people. There’s a reason why those guys on the bench get paid. Play em..

[@TheWhiteFamilyChannel]

Burks and McBride probably won't even play. Coach's decision...lol

Bug perk needs to sit back for a while. His wolves take was an all time Bust
