Not shocked. The letdown game was coming for the Knicks after they miraculously stole the first 2 games on the road. The Celtics are the more desperate team today and are playing like it. This is just like game 3 of the Wolves/Nuggets series last year and the Cavs/Pacers game 3 yesterday.

Celtics will win this one comfortably.

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.


I'm not sure the knicks can have great offensive games in this series. Their strategy is to make the game ugly and keep it low scoring like they did in games 1 and 2.

How can an NBA player be so bad at shooting a basketball from the free throw line? They’ve touched and shot basketballs much more than the rest of us mere mortals presumably.

At this point Mitch gotta try everything to get comfortable shooting free throws. Seriously bigs who obviously cant shoot free throws in a regular manner need to find different ways. Hell maybe do it like sochan and shoot it with one hand. Under handed or whatever. Nobody cares about how it looks.

Peyton Pritchard is so money on buzzer-beaters. That's his thing for sure.
