So, this just feels like the Knicks are going to walk the Celtics down for another close victory. Knicks are making them play UGLY.

Yes! Run starts here!


Him showing up in knicks thread is like hot High Schoolers running into the woods to get away from Jason. Signifies knicks run


That said, he might be quiet because he's reffing

Game is over but Thibs should force his starters to keep playing in the hopes they'll find some sort of rhythm

I fully expected the Knicks to get smoked today but I worry that the Celtics are going to get comfortable and this series is a wrap

The curse of Tom Thibodeau, a defensive genius, but the offense is horrendous. Knicks haven't had a functional offense this entire series.

This is smelling like a blowout. Feels like we never get a good game on a Saturday afternoon

Players who aren't willing to adapt when things clearly aren't working..Are not all in on winning at every cost.

Dude just TRY something different in the off season. **** Sochan shoots freethrows with one hand looking like he got shot. Is it that embarassing to try shooting it underhanded if it works? Maybe Mitch is too strong to be shooting it with two hands so he cant gauge how much strength to put on the ball. Try it with one hand it might help.
