I'd like to see Mikal get to the rim there. Be aggressive in transition, and don't settle for pull up 3s.

Tatum has been bringing it, but Brunson is just an assassin.

He's better off-ball. Someone like Jrue is much better on-ball.

Mikal Bridges really has awful shot selection...why on earth is this dude taking off-balance 3 when he could have taken a much more easier shot ?

Yeah, with his ugly ass shot he can't be doing that.

Now do the 15 FTs ya got


Knicks have shot more free throws this series by a wide margin.

Even if you remove all of Robinsons “hack a Mitch” free throws, you’ve still shot more.

I don’t want to hear any complaints about free throws from Knicks fans


Celtics shoot twice as many 3s, what would you expect when it comes to FT margin? That’s literally how your team plays ball



They touch the paint and kick out first. It’s not as though they’re just passing around the perimeter

The Celtics another incredible shooting night and excellent game by Tatum and still only a two point game. The Knicks can beat this Celtics team!

Bridges has not made an impression in these series except ends of games 1 and 2.

I would love to know the league percentage on full speed pull up 3s on the break like bridges just took. I can't imagine it's over 25%.

Celtics fans still want to talk about phantom foul calls?

Everytime Celts struggle on offense they get a call to make up for it
