Boston knows that the Warriors were able to chuck 3s because they got offensive rebounds right? LIke you can't just one and done step back 3s and think it is a good shot.

At least that last Brown 3 was wide open. Just way off..

Apologies are in order for Kerr.

Knicks should just leave the Celtics open in the perimeter. No one is making a shot and losing confidence with every miss.

After this game I’m sure all those Celtics meat riders will be feeling like their team is a lot more mortal than they thought

Not as good as they think huh

It’s just terrible basketball born from analytics. I **** hate that it works sometimes, because when it doesn’t you get this.

Tatum had Brunson on a switch, but instead of taking it to the hole, he passed it out to White for a three under medium coverage. Tatum needs to take it to the hole
