He’s 7/18 (5/8 from 3) same as Brown.

Meanwhile Brunson is 9/21 and KAT is 5/18 but you single out Tatum.

Boston is a team that relies heavily on 3s. When they fall, they look unbeatable and win like today. When it doesn’t, they lose like the last two games.

I think out of all the remaining playoff team, Celtics are the team that relies on it the most. All other teams I think can win games even if they don’t have a good shooting night from 3…but I don’t think Boston can.

boston hit their 3s today. their 2 point attempts have such a high level of difficulty that they really are a live and die by the three team.

Quiet thread
[quote=“dkb964”]156-1 Celtics are frauds when pressure is put on them. They would have been toast if Luka was not stupid enough to foul himself out. Enjoy this ONE finals win. There will never be another with the Js and the Celtics cant afford stacked team.[/quote]

You're still going to lose this series regardless of the outcome of this game, funny how you come out of the woodwork when you're winning but nowhere to be found when you lose :lol:


Why are you so confident the Knicks will win this series?


I’m not at all


These Knicks wins were a glitch. Celtics will sweep now that reality is flowing smoothly again.

KAT is unfortunately a low IQ player, great talent, but misused

Knicks fans needed to be humbled tbh. Now let's see how their team responds in Game 3.

He's an average athlete, but he's not using his tools at times.
Good assessment:
