Donte DiVincenzo Being Asked If The Knicks Are Going To Punt Game 3 Because Of Injuries Is The Single-Dumbest Thing We've Ever Heard

I know we throw around hyperbole quite a bit here, sometimes to drive a point home. But this? This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Asking a guy who plays for Tom fucking Thibodeau if they are going to punt a playoff game because of injuries? In what world does that make any sort of sense? Yeah, let's go ahead and not try to win when we're up 2-0 because OG is out, Brunson is banged up and we're a step away from asking John Starks to play a few minutes. 

This reporter shouldn't be fired. No, they should have to go ask this to Thibs 6 inches from his face. Can't laugh, ask it with a straight face. That seems like a fair punishment because Thibs might lose his mind hearing the idea of the Knicks punting a game. I've come to terms that we're not going to see OG the rest of the series. He's hurt, everyone is hurt on the Knicks. The damn NBA is doing everything possible to help the Knicks by hurting all of our key players. 

It's all about stealing a game in Indy. Anyone with the tiniest brain knows this. Steal a game in Indy and you have two games at MSG to close it out, even if it goes 7. Is it easy as it sounds? Of course not, it's the fucking playoffs! There's just no way anyone can possibly think punting a game when the next game is on Sunday makes any sense. Not like you lose game 3, get a week off and can maybe get someone healthy. It's not possible. 

Not to mention we're talking about the Knicks. We're talking about Thibs. This is a team that goes balls to the wall for every regular season game, but yeah, let's punt a playoff game. You tell Josh Hart he's not playing 48 minutes. You tell Jalen Brunson to not worry about scoring. Go ahead and play Charlie Brown for the hell of it. Give Jericho Sims some run while we're at it. Great idea all around.
