Jalen Brunson is unwatchable at times. Just constant flopping and foul-baiting. And he’s rewarded for it regularly. Yuck.

I dont understand why ESPN doesnt make this group the permanent studio panel. Chiney actually analyzes the game and comments and Windhorst isnt bad when he's not gossiping

Tatum > Brown

If course, we already knew that.
Thank you Nico!

Bridges shot selection was so bad in that first half...dude refuses to take an easier shot and instead opts for a tough fadeaway...I don't get it

He's been fantastic this game. Hopefully your shooting normalizes in the second half :D ...but he's been doing it all for you.

Yeah, the refs did swing in our favor at the end...Horford getting a foul for having his hand on Jalen's hip when Brunson slipped is another example, as well as Karl's 2nd foul not being looked at...but man, even with a few calls going our way when you were already up by a dozen+ it can be hard to feel like we're not getting Foster'd and that Towns / Robinson got a horrible whistle right as they were starting to take over.

Most of this series has looked like varsity vs JV. Celtics should be so ashamed of themselves for those two meltdowns

Jayson Tatum doing it all. Offense defense everything. This is why his defense needs to be talked about more compared to the million shooting percentage discussions.

Would like to thank Colin Cowherd for giving Tatum extra motivation and fuel going into this game.

What offense do the Knicks actually run? It seems like a lot of time its just give the ball to Brunson and hope he bails them out
