Defense is good or they're missing easy ones. Attacking early seems to be their strategy. Preferable over wasting 20 secs of clock before a dumb shot I guess.

Couldn't ask for a better start.

Unfortunately it's the finish we're failing at.

Third foul of KAT would be great

One early improvement im seeing and it’s a big one is that the Celtics are moving up the court faster and making quick plays on offense. Do not **** slow the game down in the second half

I cannot believe some of these missed layups by JT. Shook

Give them until the 4th quarter before you say that. We attacked early both games, we’ll certainly game 2.

Let's go, attack them! Show them that stats aren't just a number!

The Knicks are so foul happy.

I get Mazzulla ball is just shoot 3's, but the issue has been not taking advantage of NY's overeagerness. That was one of the biggest reasons for the Game 1 loss. Got them in foul trouble and then just decided to get complacent and not attack.

That’s the problem.

Yeah, the last 6 mins is when they turn into Mr. Hyde. (Or is Dr. Jekyll the bad one?)

Would be nice to lead by 70 points and see if Knicks can come back from that.

Hopefully KP not about to blow our lead again.

Celtics have bit on every Brunson’s pumpfake

I can’t see Al wanting a big pay cut to do this again next season. He must be worn out. True warrior.

I can never remember.

Hell, Mr. Celtics 2025 is apt.

Not a good shot, DWhite!

Good scrapping Pritchard.
