The celtics are hitting their 3's thus far. It was bound to happen and if they continue theyll win big but we know they also won't hit 3's 4 straight games.


It's not like the Knicks were hitting their shots in the first 2 games either. The Knicks offence has been abysmal in all 3 games so far.

So Tatum gets to bearhug Kat without a call but KAT bumps Brown and it's a foul on Towns?

Bigs never get a fair whistle. It's like it all went to Embiid and everyone else gets the shaft.

This is why Embiid flops around like a fish. It's the only way to get calls as a big.

Knicks offense being bad makes more sense cause Celtics have one of the league’s best defenses.

It's also why things like Shaq trying to decapitate Brad Miller happened. Since Bigs get hacked regularly they occasionally snap.

Knicks with Rockets offense in the last few minutes - shoot random garbage shots and hope to grab the offensive board.
