As a pre teen I remember walking in the Grand Concourse around Fordham RD in the Bronx and seeing the poster of the woman in the wet Jamaican T shirt and saying wow, " What's Jamaica ? " And man what a woman. What a poster, the Farah Faucet poster, Cheryl Ladd, and some other very famous ones graced many walls but that one was the one that captured my imagination as a pre teen. More natural figure no plastic silicone.

Good call Alpha. She was even better than the Sears catalog.

This isn't rocket science, play Robinson and KAT together for the first 5 minutes of every quarter. Let KAT post up against whatever smaller defender they put on him and then pass out of the double team. Have Josh come in off the bench and close quarters. Play McBride between 1st and 2nd to get the non bigs some rest.

If Knicks lose this series, Thibs is still going to get fired so he needs to look at what's working and lean into it. Celtics have outrebounded the Knicks both games and killed it on the offensive boards. Knicks can't expect to win again hoping the Celtics will miss 75% of 3s.

Of course the Celtics are favorites. Knicks starting 5 have gotten their asses kicked all season by the Celtics, including the playoffs. Thibs has gone on record saying he doesn't think a player should lose their starting slot because of injury, yet 20+ games into his return and Mitchell Robinson is still coming off the bench.

Barring a complete collapse where Knicks get run off the court for 4 straight games Thibs has probably secured his job.

Also all the Celtics do is shoot 3s so whenever they lose they are gonna miss a bunch of 3s. Good teams will make them miss 3 because making the other team miss shots is how you win basketball games. It’s not hoping they miss 3s it’s making them miss 3s.

A loss, and all bets are off.

Huge game.

I'm honestly treating it and hoping we can find a way to get a split at home and go up 3-1 with 3 chances to close them out.

Well - so far we haven't laid down and quit once falling behind (we are defending 1-5)

Moving mostly to perimeter switching vs drop coverage has been key as it puts onus on each guy to guard, makes Kat/Jalen step up and keeps everyone home (less rotations).
