Whoever bet the Knicks on the money line last night is probably besides themselves this morning. +320 odds.

Times like these i really hate that I quit sports betting :lol: nah not really. But still.

Vegas had Boston at -900 for the series overall. Losing home court like that is crazy.

Tatum literally jumped into Karl. I thought the league said that's not a normal shooting motion?

Whatever. The job is done. Boston has all the pressure on them now.


Yeah I thought both 2nd and 3rd were utter bull.

The refs were really bad there was a play in the 4th where OG actually got pushed in the stands on a corner 3pt attempt.

Tucker may be the unsung hero. Sounds crazy but these intangibles of communication could prove huge.


Amazing bc we have seen what he’s talking about as close observers of the team — and last night they played in sync.

Well, then fire Thibs and make PJ head coach! :lol:

Just saw a stat that Tatum is shooting 30% on step back threes this season.

Keep baiting him into contested shots. Do not surrender open threes to anyone. Make them hit shots with a hand in their face.

Also, Brown is clearly compromised. I would love to see some off ball screens to switch him onto OG and let him punish him.

As much as this win felt good there's so much room for improvement.

There's a reason PJ was on contenders for nearly a decade. Elite role player with winning intangibles. I didn't like the Draymond stuff but I'm stoked we have him.

Yeah I mean anyone that has played basketball themselves know that a off-the dribble, step-back 3 is much more difficult than a clean look on a catch and shoot. I felt that was a difference to the regular season games.....yes the Celtics shot poorly and are unlikely to shoot that poorly again but still te degree of shot difficulty was also higher.

Really at this point one has to advise older people 70+ against watching the Knicks....it seems in this year's playoffs they make a close game out of everything...it's crazy we have seen 7 out of 7 close games...all decided in the final minutes. :lol: :lol:

No one has been more negative about the Bridges trade. He shut me up last night and I’m eating crow today.

I hope to be eating crow more this series.

Bridges won the game in OT with his defense and big shot making. And the coach was great as well.

yeah buddy!


These last two games have made (Hopefully) people realize what Mikal has actually contributed to this team?


The guy has been the SCAPEGOAT all season, yet he just keeps playing, defending the best perimeter players without plays being run for him. Just a damn SOLDIER.

He took his RESPECT tonight.

It was on the floor but KAT clearly fouls Brown on the near side arc in the second to last play and still had the look of disbelief on his face

He and Hart are always flirting with bad defensive judgment but it’s also a high activity level so you can live with it emotionally — technically it’s gonna bite you

Good. They'll take more 2's like we do.... Then the playing field will be evened.

The 3pt carpet bombing makes them invincible when their shot is falling.
