Well, Mitch is shooting the same % as Boston did in Games 1 & 2 from 3.

I hope we wave white towel and don’t risk a stupid injury. Doesn’t matter if you lose by 2 or 30.

Fouling at this stage only has upside for Mitch. His confidence was in the gutter. Now he’s hit a few.

Only thing worse than Mitch at FT is the rest of the Knicks from 3

Funny part is I've seen better form from him practicing 3s last year than his FTs and think he would hit a higher %. lol

Whoever told him this style is better than last year needs to be fired. He could make more underhanded. Get some damn arch, at least we would have a shot at a rebound. Airballs are a joke.

Knicks needed to try something different. No way was Boston going to keep missing so many 3s. Only way forward was to use our size against them. Now the pressure is on NY.

I like the big lineup but overdoing KAT post ups to counter Bostons 3s ain’t it.

That stretch of KAT post ups in game 2 was just about the only consistent offense the Knicks had besides counting in Brunson's late game heroics. The Celtics have had a smaller defender on KAT all series but the Knicks haven't made them pay. Having KAT take shots inside with Robinson hitting the offensive boards forces the Celtics to at least box out instead of getting into the open court on long rebounds with the defense on their heals. This is why KAT is on a huge contract.

Nothing is a foul against KAT on offense. Unbelievable if it wasn't the norm. I don't care if he complains too much; that isn't fair and they keep fouling harder.

Knicks need to start laying punks out, show they will not put up with this BS. Tatum pushes off all the time and was trying to hurt JB. Tatum and Jrue, one holds, the other one chops hard on KAT. Put PJ out there and let him go off on someone, enough already.

He's very unlucky. Where has his 3pt game gone? This version of KAT is not worth that salary.

KAT post ups have largely led to horrible attempts against multiple defenders and KAT on the floor trying to get calls that don’t come, and then the Celtics getting a 5 on 4 fast break

Thibs needs to get him looks. Our team in general can’t get 3s off unless it’s Brunson pull ups

Foul on Mitch, no call, foul on KAT, no calls. Yeah, that is fair.
