The refs have been giving the Celtics a passionate bj the entire series. Hart getting elbowed so hard he was bleeding how that was not called at least a Flagrant 1 is a farce.

and no I don't think Brown got hit for real by Brunson. Brown is there rolling around on floor and as soon as refs say nothing to it, he's all better and stops acting

times like this I would like someone like I.Stewart on this team to help enforce things.

Brown should be arrested on the spot for sexual assault and contributing to the indecency in front of minors.

Jail this ahole.

Instead of Shamet I would put Precious in the rotation and go with a bigger lineup. OG’s hamstring is bothering him so his minutes need a reduction. Precious actually played semi-decent in game 3 when he played 6 minutes.

Have Deuce backup both Guard positions and Precious subs in it PF for KAT. Mikal plays the 3 when OG sits.

Game 6 here we come!

OG looked like a G Leaguer today.

He really represents us so well: sometimes he looks like an unbeatable star, others he is nowhere to be found. He is really frustrating sometimes!

You all are missing the bigger picture: he misses his sideline Misses.

He will have plenty for Game 6 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

There are soooo many details, like this one, that I’m still amazed haven’t been addressed in one way or another. This speaks of our earlier offense being completely discarded and adjustments not even being considered. It’s just weird. And my simplistic way of seeing the issue just thinks that Thibs is a stubborn old school guy that thinks that playoff games are won in ISO.

At this point the Knicks have to be the wildest and most unpredictable team remaining in the playoffs and not really in a good way. And for how much I love this team, I HATE THEM TALKING ABOUT HOW THEY HAVE TO HAVE A FULL 48MIN EFFORT and they just never do. The closest has been the half in Game 4 and still the offense was mid.

Win tomorrow and then keep winning.

KAT isnt driving anywhere as much as he did during the regular season either. When Boston was cutting off his lane to the rim, plan B should have been to get the 3 going.

It looked like the team just collectively shrugged its shoulders and mostly gave up on getting KAT going.

Not for nothing but every NBA championship coach thinks this way in the sense of your thought line.

Boston with Tatum, Minny with Ant Randle, OKC with SGA. The list goes on. Ewing. Hakeem.

Maybe the Detroit Pistons didn’t.

Also, maybe if KAT didn’t self regulate himself the bench with fouls he’d get more opportunities.

The gather shuffle. Players from past decades must look at this in disgust.

True, that.

Otoh, the NBA needs to start a sexual predator list with Brown at the top.keep him away from under-18 players.

Knicks simply need to glue somebody to Derrick White. Keep him to pedestrian numbers and it’s a wrap.

This post reminds me of a similar situation when I was a kid in basketball camp. One guy was killing us and would make every open shot so I told his man to ignore everything else on defense and stay on him. "if someone is going to drive by you ignore them and stay on your man'. Needless to say he got distracted on defense and his man beat us hitting an open shot. I was pissed but lookin back he was a kid so you got to expect he going to mess up. Sorry for the random story but your post just reminded me of a childhood memory.

Coach needs to step up. Celts defense shut down the Knicks offense. I can agree it was a bad night, but we didn’t do the little things that allow us to push through bad nights.

Need to bring better intensity. That’s what Thibs is supposed to do. Get the most out of these guys.

You know I gonna spin wit it
