I suspect the magic has run out...

No team is as good as them really. But this team has what it takes for an upset. The coach just has to create some action that works. Every single shot has been a bad shot for weeks.

It's honestly shameful that diehards are priced out. The crowd energy is ass too. Feels like Barclay's. :noway:

I am not a fan of going down big and then trying to crawl back into games.

Id prefer if we just played a complete game

Happily gifting open 3's all day, like the first two games.

The difference is the Celtics are simply making their shots now....

We are not pressuring them on the perimeter. That’s the difference. At some point, they are going to make open shots but the lack of desire to play defense is on the Knicks. They are just waiting instead of pressuring the Celtics.

Did ya think the Celtics weren’t gonna show up today,especially their stars. Absolutly unacceptable to get off to these slow starts.

Screaming at the TV, man. He pulled out the switching, I was hoping, praying really, that he'd pull out off ball movement. It's sickening the Knicks can't do this swing the ball ****.

Never suspected Tatum was such a deadeye 3pt shooter! They've made 10 more 3's - 30 -pts - even counting Mitch and our poor shot selection/offensive play, that's more than the difference right there.

This team has hit its ceiling with this coach. I was a believer all year, but I’d also assumed there would be some action to get guys moving. Nobody moves, everybody just watches.

Of course they were going to show up. But we were hoping the Knicks would show up, too. Add another slow start to the innumerable games.
