If Boston is going to hit like this it is time for G4.

Jesus Boston cant miss a three.

When your opponent goes 65% for 3 you shake their hand

Well if Boston somehow blows this they may as well not show up on the court for game 4.

Tatum trying to be cool by sizing up Towns but ends up looking like a fool again coming up with an air ball, lol.

This is just one of those "no chance in hell" shooting performances. And it is why Boston spams 3s. When it is on it is unstoppable.

He holds his wrist that got hurt in the first round

He was fine all season long until he got sick and now they reported hes still dealing with something 2 month later


So the sickness is what he's still dealing with? Or is it an injury?

Something with breathing/fatigue.

The Knicks defence looks a lot worse when the Celtics make their open 3.

The sight and sound of distraught Knicks fans is like an I.V. of pure heroin. But the pain of distraught Celtics fans is like an MDMA drip. Its like either way I win and either way I lose.

KAT is garbage lmao. He's been terrible guarding the Pick and Roll, but cannot dominate offensively to make up for it. Unfortunately for the Knicks, their only other option is Mitchell Robison, who is probably the worst free throw shooters I've seen since Andre Roberson
