they honestly made a bunch of BS - law of averages from them missing the 1st 2 games. But the defense has gotten lost way too many times. seems like thibs trying to outsmart himself by not sticking with just switching everything and instead they're mixing in drop, hedge and recover nonsense etc and completely botching it.

but prichard and tatum both hit like 4 deep pull up 3s that are not high percentage shots.

I just puked in my mouth reading this.


Say what you want, but that team beat the Celtics twice in the regular season.

This is a superteam of role players, it’s not going to get the job done. Trailing by double digits three games in a row + getting swept in the regular season.

You say that while we’re up 2-0 against the best team in the NBA. Pathetic.

its certainly not sustainable. Because you can't expect the Celtics to shoot terrible every game.

the double in the post has to stop...if they make a shot over a smaller player so be it...giving up wide open 3's because you are doubling is asking to lose.

The plan and approach has to be different.

Going to have to change coaches for that one.

My mind is blown that we can't do a pick and pop for KAT for an open 3. Like, seriously, what is it? KAT afraid of the initial contact? Poor JB/KAT IQ? I don't **** get it.


it's the poor screens from KAT, i hate to admit.

can't see him being more willing to set screens with that hand.

thanks for everything, thibs.

I would be goddamned if we allow them another uncontested three.

If we play that asinine defense again in this quarter, forget about it. I have no idea what Tom is looking at. Everyone knew that these guys weren't gonna keep shooting poorly.

This is horsesh*t. Unacceptable.

We can argue hack a Mitch turned the game on Celtics hand for the 3rd time this series.

Honestly, F Thibs. I rather keep Mitch out there and get them in foul trouble. Mitch is a **** for still struggling with his FT's, but I don't care. I rather put pressure on Boston than what this team is currently doing. BS.

results matter over everything obviously but we can be real with ourselves and admit both wins were flukes. knicks deserve credit for playing well down the stretch of both games and to an extent their defense - but the offense continues to be extremely poor and simply not good enough to win (unless your opponent shoots 25% from 3)

it works to an extent when they're out of rhythm. but you have to get them there. we certainly did not today.
