Any updates on Porzingis and Hauser?
One day Marcus Smart will be defensive player of the year, mark my words.

From a fundamental standpoint it is better for a man to have nothing but be under the protection of Jesus Christ than for him to have everything he could ever want yet be completely without.

Jesus Mikal with some huge defensive plays this game.

And a clutch 3 as well. Good for him

The way the Celtics play is analytically correct but when they're missing shots it is just brutal to watch.

I'd argue if you're the more talented team, you actually hurt yourself by focusing too much on the 3-point shot, since you're diluting your talent to something that's higher variance. More blowouts, but point differential doesn't matter in the playoffs.


Fair point.

Bridges dominant stretch there.

Also Jaylen, expected more fight there. Let it get completely ripped out.

One of the greatest Knick victories in history. What a way to end it by Bridges. Brown and Tatum will never be top 3 or top 4 in the league

This is on Mazzulla. Putting Kornet, Hauser and Pritchard on the court in that 3rd quarter was the key. You are up 20 and you lose because you are too stubborn and keep 3 space cadets on defense on the court together.
Hauser should play 0 minutes in the playoffs
