Legit only way to beat the heat is to build a lead so incredibly large there is no possible way for them to come back if they are within 10 pts in the 4th qtr 9/10 times the heat are winning that game
It’s true. The Heat led the league in crunch time wins this season. Plus in the postseason they already have several big 4qtr surges at the end. The Bucks got cooked like that multiple times. Knicks are in for a real battle this series.
Which would be a miracle for a Thib team. Been watching Thib teams for years and his offensive schemes are so uninspired. The Knicks for instance have the lowest points per game total of the teams left in the playoffs. At the beginning of the playoffs they were third to last with 99pts. While the heat are First with 121. What’s also glaring about the Knicks is that they only attempt 84 shots a game. So I think, if Jimmy gets healthy by game 3, the heat are going to blow it wide open on the Knicks.
@@irawechsler5540 offense cannot flow out of that since, like I said already, the Knicks are the third lowest scoring team in playoffs since first round. They have low field goal attempts as well. The offense isn’t flowing out of defense because there is no offense. They’re averaging 99 points a game like this is mid 1990s. That’s typical of Thib, he never evolved his offensive game
Thib's should have tried playing Mcbride on Lowery. Mcbride always plays very well against the Heat and Lowery. If Grimes is a non-factor pull him from the rotation and put in someone who isn't afraid to shoot the ball.
absolutely correct too much iso and hero ball in the 2nd half & the 3's they were taking were not in Rhythm. 2nd way to many turnovers by Jalen and RJ..these turn overs convertd to heat points. The Good thing is even with with all of that we lost by 7 and were in the game until the very end we wont shot that poorly again.
Idk bro. I agree that it creates stagnation but they are missing wide open threes bro. It’s disgusting. Knicks close quarters horrible!!! Horribly! Turnovers and three point shooting killing us
Would it be crazy to say that I look fwd to watching your videos over ESPN or any other knicks channel? I mean shout out to KFTV and Richie over at knicks media💪🏼
It’s amazing Hartenstein had 2pts 1 ast and 2 rbs and was a plus. He didn’t show up but you criticize Mitch who had 14rbs 7pts 2blks. So Hartenstein can be a non factor and everything is good. Where we lost this game was early RJ and Mitch pick n roll worked. So on the next one Bam back up to prevent the lob and RJ took Vincent to the hole with his strong hand. Thibs should have kept going to the pick n roll until they stopped it. As usual when something is working they tend to go away. I hope when we have an advantage we make them stop it. Make them adjust!!
Thibs not trusting Obi is a big problem he should have played Grimes more and played McBride. He overly leans on Josh Hart in a bigs position. Hart is not a PF Thibs is playing himself. Obi was asked if he was surprised he didn’t play in the 4th he said wasn’t surprised he didn’t play down the stretch. We gonna lose Obi because of Thibs and I’m gonna be pissed about it.
They need to use Obi in a way that can instill fear..how about using him in Pick n Rolls getting him out in the fast break like they did to us ..Thibs needs to be creative use Obi for more than spot up 3's.
What about the heat would make them afraid of that. It’s deeper than that when playing the heat. They don’t care about what you can do, they adjust. They weren’t a fast break team and became one in five minutes going on 12-2 run. The best thing for the Knicks is to hire someone on the outside with an inspired offensive philosophy because Thibs never evolved any of his teams’ offenses. The Knicks are the worst ppg team remaining in the playoffs. They were the third worst in the first round. They are not going to hold the heat to under 100 points even without butler, herro or oladipo. And yet the Knicks average 99 points per game in a modem day’s playoff? That’s absolutely ridiculous.
The only thing we were missing from the 4-Spot was Obi in the 4th. Obi was not allowed to close either half. George, you don't think Obi scores 26-28 points and gets 12 rebs if he actually closes both halves? Just saying. Thibs sat him from the 9:30 minute mark on.
Difference is coaching #1 Little guys as Brunson r easy to slow down and stop in the crunch. Heat will make B go to his right and easily defend him driving right. #2 Knicks playing 4 on 5 on d as Bronson gives back everything he get. #3 toppin has forgotten how to play BB. Always a dollar short and day late on d. Never in any flow on o. Slam dunk champ parks himself on 3pt line. Coaching him, developing it over the Season, never letting it on the floor. Coaching. #4 failure to utilize Barrett etc etc
No Deuce as a chess move is interesting. IMO, Deuce should have been in there to close out the 2nd and 3rd quarter as typical. May be a typical move. But still, who wants to enter the house knowing the guard dog is waiting.
Unfortunately Mitch was not a big factor, though I don't think he played badly. He's got to start hitting his free throws. He looked TERRIBLE AT THE LINE, ESPECIALLY LATE IN THE GAME.
The Knicks have to hit their shots, particularly their 3pt shots. If the Knicks hit their shots, they win the game! Miami Heat will play them the same way and the shots will be open; the Knicks just have to knock them down.
Too many stupid 3 point shooting cost us this game. Missed a 3 point shooting, then Heat got quick 2 points-again and again. These stupid 3 point shooting really made me sick.
Facts…. Not a Heat fan, not a Knicks fan, but must say you are wrong sir.. To state that this was just “one game and won’t happen again“ is pure wishful thinking and not the observable objective reality. PLEASE stop falsely boosting the hopes & expectations of Knicks fans like what was done before game 1 to then make more excuses as to why they didn’t win the series. Knicks will most likely take game 2 by default, but they simply haven’t yet reached the professional playoff caliber Miami Heat level and its just due to their lack of experience. Knicks are deeper but not better. However, they can and probably will be in a season or two.
Nah Julius is not the savior we can win without him if needed just need to play smarter and take care of the ball. Jalen missed all 7 3's and had 5 turn overs RJ had 4 turnovers...and was 1 for 5 on 3's Only Obi shot a respectable number 37% from the out side ..too much hero ball and tunnel vision in the 2nd half.
like i said b4 if we are on RJ radar to win games for us we are dreaming big time , we need Randle and Obi is not the answer , can't blame Obi , this coach is stubborn , we have a Derrick Rose that can lead this team but he was shot dwn , here come the bad news Heat will win the series 4-1 maybe 4-2 but I am ok with it cause the knicks are not going pass the second rounds , we all expect that anyway
Tib is forever stubborn. I like him in the reg season but in the playoffs he don’t make the right adjustments. I was shocked he pulled Randel in the 4th quarter in the Cavs game.
What up George??!! Did we get out-coached today? What was our game plan? From the beginning, I felt the Heat came out with more 🔥🔥🔥. They wanted it more. They won. We need better from IQ, IHart and J Hart and Grimes. We had better be ready on Tues. We did out-rebound them. Where was Deuce? He could have harassed Lowrie. I thought our guards were going to dominate. It is on our wings and coach. On to the next one. We need Julius, the good, all-star Julius. We also need to shoot way better from the foul line. Good show. Salute. It is going to be a series.🟠🔵
Disappointing loss, we couldn’t hit 3s. Last 5 minutes of the game were terrible offensively. Thibs burned his timeouts early he definitely would have called 1 if there were more. I don’t know what to think of grimes he doesn’t feel very impactful and always has a couple dumb fouls, I thought he would be more aggressive coming off the bench against miami’s 2nd unit. And brunson’s jumper looked flat just not how he usually shoots I wonder why
If we don’t defend the 3 and take more 3 in the next game we will end up losing this series !!! We need to take more 3 in this series and btw we also need to be more physical and tougher and stop the freaking turnovers , we can’t let them pretty much bully us , we have to guard lowry better bc he was the problem !!!
We’re not a good 3 pointer team. The heat went on a zone defense to force us to shoot 3s because they know this fact. We have our moments but in a 7 game series that will be our downfall.
More 3’s. Fuck no bro. We are a horrible 3 point shooting team and they have bam are baton and Kevin love guarding the paint. All of our success in first half going to the paint! Miami went into that zone and Knicks fell into the trap, literally. Shooting threes over and over and over in that third quarter. That’s why we lost that game 11 point swing in the third!
RJ, LOST HIS COOL, KEPT GETTING FOULED, REFS IGNORING CONTACT, DON'T FORCE IT, ACCEPT THE FOUL, BLAST THRU, MAKE THE PLAY, GIVE THE LOOK, SHAKE AND RUN BACK AND PLAY D. OR HIT THE FREE THROW.
Where is the runner-up sixth man of the year IQ?Little Big Head has to stop dribbling so much and pass the ball.If the three isn't falling drive the ball pass or shoot, make something happen.
This game was NOT lost because of poor 3 point shooting despite the narrative from the usual unanalytical idiots. It was lost from Tibbs poor coaching in the 4th quarter. After Butler injured his ankle he should have flooded that part of the court taking advantage of a 5 on 4 game. Instead he capitulated to Miami. Also the 60% free throw shooting of the Knicks for the game was putrid and also costed us the game. We have NOT shot well from 3 even against the Cavs it only averaged 28%. This was Tibbs worse coached game. He was completely outcoached by Spoelstra. Our defense was flat. NO steals and we did not disrupt the Heat. Quickley had O steals. His defense was lack lustre . He could NOT handle old timer Kyle Lowry. Deuce McBride could handle Lowery.
I don't understand the next man we can never hold and stay in front of on that. I'm madness always open for a free three point shot the opposite team is always Pakistan is always open for A33 point shot always why we can't stay in front of them. And why we always switched and loosened on man that we gotten tips gotta? Make some adjustments cause you can't go down old 2 so tips. Gotta. Do something? Man. Come? On man these guys gotta play better. Than? What they. Is played the day man
I think everyone is giving a lot of credit to the heat but honestly this loss looks flukey. The Knicks shot 60% from the line and 20% from 3 but it was anyone's game at the 4 minute mark and we lost by 7. This should have been a blowout. Meanwhile the heat had a comeback miracle against the bulls just to make the playoffs. Knicks in 6.
Based on the ugly three point shooting ability, Knicks does not the victory and Quickley does not deserve the best bench award. This kind of shooting ability really made me sick
We looked so strong in the first half
Heat are just too talented to beat.
@@starfishandroid They aren’t talented bruh, they are just shooting lights out from beyond the arc as of late
@@cleanfresh6718 Soo true but not in this game, he meant to say the heat are more playoff experience and it showed.

Ironic that the best 3 point shooter on the Knicks is Obi Toppin! Turnovers lost us the game! Hopefully Jimmy is ok but I doubt it. Lets Go Knicks!

I truly think Thibs dislike for Obi clouds his judgment. Man would rather give up a game rather than rely on him.
Looks like Heat were ready for Knicks’s poor 3s.
If knicks don’t hit their 3s this will be a short series same thing happened with the bucks
