Thibs has many strengths as a coach but this offense is inexcusable

We are seemingly the only good team in the league who often runs into large periods of being unable to dribble, pass or shoot.

Nothing ever easy with this team (or Knicks in general).

Nerves... no confidence in what they are doing.

We are back to indecisiveness in guarding the high screens.

Instead of simply switching everything and living with the results we are sometimes switching, sometimes dropping and often times we have 2 guys chasing 1 guy while another Celtic is wide open checking the wind before shooting a 3.

cut into the lead by 13 this quarter, and 13 the next. Then we win by 1

Bridges and OG combined for 4 points first half. Can’t beat anyone with that production

We seem to be doing 1 time and not the next or doing on some guys and not others.

whatever the reason we look like regular season Knicks in 1st half guarding Celtics/OKC while they torch us.

Also - can we ever (just once) come out and light a team up from 3? OG with zero in 1st half and he's not alone.

Hopefully we make this a game in 2nd half.

Thibs offensive strategy to lull Celtics into coma for 2nd half.

Give Wright some burn. Offense is a mess.

This definitely looks like regular season Knicks defense tonight. Screen comes no flash and recover no direct switch just stepping right into wide open 3s.

I don’t think we’ve had a “light it up” game out the gate since like December. We had quite a few early season. But I definitely forget what those feel like it’s been so long.

We deserve to be more excited about that OG dunk, and yet ...

Can we ever get back on defense? And if we are going to foul, chop their arms off and hold them like they do. Playing soft at home.

Sometimes they are just so lackadaisical with the ball

30 pt lead isn't enough for the refs.
