No pressure for the Knicks as everyone's expecting the Celtics to advance easily.

To have any chance of winning the Knicks need to dominate the boards. And there will be many with the Celtics continuous 3pt spamming.

Everytime I see Jaylen Brown I think about him showing up to summer league with 2 women. Dude was MVP of the off-season lol

But long, lucky bounces can neutralize a rebounding advantage, as we saw last night in Houston.

2 quick fouls from KAT. Soft ones but correct calls.

They are targeting KAT.

The officiating from the Pistons series to this series is so different. Celtics getting every little whistle. Ridiculous.

Towns gotta be more disciplined than that

I thought KAT jumped to the side of Tatum there and Tatum jumped sideways into KATs space. Tough break.

The Knicks are playing above their heads like a stack of midgets in a trench coat right now. Once things settle, the sweep will fall comfortably in place.

Memo to NBA,

Please take those stupid offensive player jumping into the defender out of the game. It's not basketball. :banghead:

Yeah was a terrible call. Shouldn't have been a foul on Towns but we see that the officiating is gonna favor Boston already, at least early on. Soft calls on Knicks so far.

God I hate watching all this 3pt spamming by the Celtics. Least favorite team to watch out of all teams.

Ref whining in first 6 minutes of the best of seven series— par for the course for RealGM.

On those fouls, the pair on KAT was legit, both against Tatum and the big man was just too slow keeping up and closing out with the Celtics star.

regardless of team, refs always make the call in favor of the shooter

He's been here for years.

Who wins and goes to the ECFs?
