Can’t believe they called that third on Towns, terrible reffing man

The Celtics don't have a defender on the floor who can guard KAT on the block and the Knick haven't run one play to exploit that. At least wear down Tatum and Horford.

Boston got another 20 point lead.

Can they keep it this time?

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

Something with breathing/fatigue.
Been taking IV's and some kinda boosters for 2 month. Some non-covid crap
Crashed body week ago for some reason

Damn. I've had this since November. It literally just came back last Sunday after being gone for well over a month. I hope he gets over it. It sucks.

The gravity that Tatum produces is crazy. Dude is just standing at half court so Celtics can operate in huge space.

KAT and Mitch both have 3 fouls now

It’s absolutely insane the Celtics are down 0-2 against an okay Knicks team. I didn’t even think the Knicks played well in the first 2 games, the Celtics shot so ass to blow 2 20 point leads at home.

I recall KAT trying a few times to backdown Tatum and really not being great at it cause he took so long that Boston defense was easily helping.

Towns could have gotten #4 kicking out his leg on that three.

A backdoor sweep wouldn't be shocking in the least. They are clearly a much better team. That's what makes this series so fascinating.

I actually think if the C's lost today, they could easily be the first team to come back from 0-3.

Reffing has been terrible all around, how about the foul on Pritchard or on Porzingis? It's not been good reffing, it's been soft, which hasn't been the case so far. Imo, the tougher the game has been, the better it's been for the Knicks.

Chances the Celtics come back and win this series?

Celtics are easily one of the most boring teams in the league. This style puts you to sleep

Yeah, it's weird. It's like when a team wins the first couple of games people immediately assume that it's gonna be a sweep or something. They assume that the other team will just lay down.

It's really silly. Boston and Cleveland were the favourites. They are gonna do everything in their power to not fall behind 3-0.

I actually predicted the Celtics would come back…

Celtics fans should’ve known it was over, after that

That should have been number 4 on KAT

So much. They were leading all games by 20 so far yet lost 2 of them.

Then run some action of the help or kick it out to whoever is unguarded. They're letting the Celtics off the hook.

Who wins game 3?
