During the game, I said if we lose by 10 or less, players stay under 35 minutes, and no one gets injured, I'd count it as progress. The Knicks failed all three. Lmao.

I’m just glad towns likely dodged a bullet. I was a bit sick about it when he went to the locker room. Makes me feel better he’s ok even though we lost.

Looking like OKC or bust when it comes to taking down the Celtics.

3rd qtr was fun.

That white bail out 3 was the nail in coffin would have gotten back back only down 4. Then they went onile. 10-0 run after that.

Can we raise a February 23, 2025 3rd Quarter Championship Banner next to our January 2024 Championship Banner? :-?

He's a floor-raiser. Good coach. Get someone else who will crash the ceiling with this group.

Good way to look at it. This is YEAR 1 of the new Knicks, this isn't the final product. You just got a new canvas and started painting folks, a lot of work still to be done.

3rd quarter wasn't encouraging to me. It was depressing because anyone could see the Celts were letting their guard down. We are not anywhere near championship level. There are 3 teams that would sweep us in the playoffs and some that would grit it out over us in a 7 game series.

I hate to be right about the clown. Would not evelate until he is gone. Down 4, takes out hot Brunson knowing we have no offense. Brings in a clearly hobbled Towns. Starters still in the game for whatever reason, send Thibs to the **** moon.

Everything we knew before the game that would happen happened. Thibs did not surprise us even a little bit. At this point, we just need to hope we stay healthy for next season and hope the FO finds a decent coach and make some good moves.

It was when Brunson sat, and you don't play Shamet (who was actually playable) instead use Cam cause why?

The only positive was the 3rd quarter....if you can contest some 3s and play with some confidence, speed and force on offense then suddenly the Celtics look anything but unbeatable.....

I believe in the talent they have, the mindset and all. This is a good idea.
