The officiating was lopsided in Boston's favor in literally every game. I hope Adam Silver has heartburn this morning

:nonono:
Points in the paint

Knicks - 64

C's - 32


KAT should have had like 30+ pts if the officiating wasn't so bad. Every time he went to the rack he was fouled oh my godddddddddddd

Hoping Tatum is fine. One thing I respect about these two teams is they just play hoops, no extras like the Sixers or Pistons. Tatum is a great player and a honorable competitor.

The series isn't won yet but this game feels like a culmination of the last 5 years, since Leon Rose succeeded the Steve Mills and Scott Perry regime of doom.

This was the first complete performance by this team in the series.

We need our stars to be productive and efficient on offense to compete and Brunson and KAT delivered offensively. Jalen is such a great shot creator. And when the ball moves and everybody feels engaged, this team reaches an entirely different level.

This was the Mikal who's worth all those picks. He was engaged on both ends and when that happens, the team becomes hard to beat. What's interesting is that the Knicks seemingly flipped the script and decided to attack the Celtics' smaller players when matched up with Mikal on a few possessions. His size in the midrange is an asset that has been underutilized at times.

Also shout-out to Mitch man. He's a monster. I love how we can have two different shapes with either 5-out, uber-efficient KAT or with rim protector, offensive rebounder Mitch. Based on what the game dictates, we can go with either player and have near-elite play from the center position.

Agreed regarding Tatum. There was no BS from him he was just hooping.

Also yep. Pundits in the media here were saying that Mitch was unplayable and yet he came through and anchored the defense. Mikal getting to work freely in the mid range. There's so much to unpack but I'll say this because I need to try to sleep:

Mikal and OG are elite two way players when they're getting fed offensively.

Mitch played 25. Josh played 30.

Just saying.

There’s no one I would rather over Jalen not a 1A Brunson when you need buckets.

Mikal **** your 5 picks Bridges is finally showing up when it matters.

But it’s curious that Mikal starts so slowly … he needs to run some extra layup lines before tip


he's been doing this all series except game 3.

damn shame the disrespect.


I understand the numbers game but it’s still dumb to make a guy do stuff he can’t do and Mikal has a semi-automatic midrange but really isn’t that accurate from 3

So would we rather him miss 4 threes or make 4 twos? Tonight his low value shots won the game

He shot 10/15 from 2 = 67%. That’s the same as shooting 44% if all those shots were 3’s!

Best offensive output of the series even with our hero Josh Hart playing less than 30 minutes :D


The offense turned to crap when he went to the bench in the 1st half but we got out to a much better start with him starting. The KAT and Robinson pairing looked so bad in the first half we even went down by 13 at some point I think. Then came back in the 3rd again with Hart. He was throwing dimes and setting guys up for open looks. Good thing we never made any panic moves or drastic changes to the starting lineup :wink: And I know you enjoyed his defense, had some huge defensive stops. Refs screwed him on that 5th foul but we were rolling already at that point. Hezi and Thibs win again :D


Honestly I barely remember Hart from this game but i'm sure he did some positive things :D
