Even the robot overlords are scared of pissing him off. "I believe in God but the only thing that scares me is Jalen Brunson."

Holy sh*t, the cheapest single ticket on StubHub right now is $744, unreal ($903 with fees).

MSG is going to be something today.

I know Americans hate the time, but it is suitable for us here, so will be one of few games that I will check live. Tho got to say, finding those replays with all commercials cut reignited my interest in NBA game far more. Still few hours left, will probably boot Expedition 33, closing in on end, what a freaking game, damn.

Suitable? It's the worst of both worlds.

Could be 2 hours earlier, but its doable, some Spanish Basketball games begin at similar times, and we watch. I am not a night person no more, my medication puts me to sleep quick, so I am not sure I will last till the end, but we will see. I made a bet that Boston will make the finals, so I am invested now.

I mean I'm being sorta facetious here. Celtics should be up 2-0 right now. That identity of spamming 3's usually works for them. They've just gone ice cold from 3 in the 4th Qtr of both of the first 2 games. I agree they shouldn't settle for 3's as much when they're not falling, but doing that typically works in their favor so I get it. It's do or die for Boston today obviously, so I fully expect them to win this game, and wouldn't be surprised if it was a comfortable victory. If not, this series is over.

The little one just laid down for a nap, now to grab some food before the game starts & watch KAT outscore the Celtics in the first quarter, on his own 8-)

Not surprising, Jalen is converting Reggie & Nets fans, why wouldn’t AI be a Brunson-disciple as well?

Perfect. If we lose today, I hope it’s because they just can’t miss while taking the same dumb shots they have been all series.

They typically generate rim pressure to get in rhythm & cause teams to scramble, leaving them with wide open 3s. In this series they are getting nowhere in the paint, so they are just swing it around the perimeter before settling for semi-open 3s or walking up & chucking.

Edit:
And I dunno if they have the fight or self awareness to comeback. They were supposed to bury us in game 2, but they never did…instead they just kinda watched while Mikal pulled us back into Brunson range and then we did what we do in 4th quarters.

I would’ve had OG’s face, smiling, with the words “hello Jayson”

I think KP gets hot to break the Knicks' heart for a night to help the Cs regain some confidence....then you start seeing BOS' guards and eventually Tatum all start knocking down more shots that this at least gets pushed to 7 and if not a possible Gentleman's Sweep for the Cs....and I'd love to be wrong about that because Gotham would be on fire just to make a Conference Finals, an actual one would prob be the loudest roar the league's heard lol

But I just think BOS will start knocking down a few and that Kristaps might be the firestarter, again hope to be wrong.
