Wouldn't you assume it's because it's unsustainable with their starters playing so many minutes? They have to slow down so they don't get exhausted. I'm just assuming, myself.

Whistle, whistle, whistle....

Pritchard is going to play a lot of minutes tonight I think.

This game is stupid. All this lame **** ticky tack fouls called yet when they played Detroit they let all kinds of stuff go

No consistency in the whistle from game to game at all. Is it really that hard to do?

Ugh... this is so hard not to talk about. :lol:

Okay the officiating is getting out of control.
In fairness I think Knicks fans have every right to be pissed. I have to try remain objective

All we heard about was the Magic's physicality. Did they all foul out by the 3rd quarter?

talk about it. The NBA is a joke.

They should change their name to the New York Nichts, because they are not winning this game.

OG really needs to lift for the Knicks

That makes sense. However Thibs just has to look at his bench - tons of guards, use a big rotation, run them in and out. They've been good at finding and collecting guards. Why not make full use of it.

I think Derrick White is the actual man in white...

These Celtics are surgical. It doesn't feel like they're kicking your ass and then you look up and they are.

Jaylen "Batman" Brown

How did Orlando, missing key players, put up a bigger fight?

___Rand___ · Post #479 » by **___Rand___** » Tue May 6, 2025 12:17 am

Oh boy. 16 point lead in a game that was tight most of the half. Celtics put the clamp on defense and Knicks got suffocated.

Appleshampoo · Post #480 » by **Appleshampoo** » Tue May 6, 2025 12:17 am

The Boston fans aren't even excited. What a boring NBA enabled joke of a a 15 point lead.

Who wins and goes to the ECFs?
