Yes, he picked it up in the ORL series, why he missed a game.


Which explains why he was playing poorly

This game is different in that Boston is actually shooting well. We'll see if they continue to shoot well.

It's so obvious Celtics are the better team. They just need to stop choking away big leads in the 4th lol.

If the Knicks come back from this, voodoo and dark magic is involved.

The celtics are hitting their 3's thus far. It was bound to happen and if they continue theyll win big but we know they also won't hit 3's 4 straight games.

We all know the Celtics are a better team than the Knicks. This is as surprising as the sun coming up. I wouldn't be the least bit shocked if they swept the next 4 games.

The question isn't are they better, its will they choke and sabotage themselves into 2 more losses.

Nah they are just hitting shots. If they shot 30% instead of 25%, they would have won both games comfortably.

They are just the far more talented team

Knicks just look confused. What do I do? Here, you take the ball. Rinse and repeat

He averaged 36/10/6 on 68% TS in the 3 games post injury vs Orlando.

He’s just been bad v the Knicks. I expect a better performance here

People in the Garden should ask for their money back if the Knicks continue to play like this.

Tatum wraps both arms around Kat. NO CALL

Knicks need the refs to enforce fouls on smaller players guarding KAT. If they do a lot of Boston's D doesn't work.
