PLAYOFFS: Rnd 2, Gm 2 – Knicks @ Celtics – 7:00PM, Wed, May 7, 2025

I honestly believe that Rico and Neems can play this series and not be a negative.

There’s no chance we win in NY with Tatum playing like this

[redslastlaugh]

Man, game thread is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO negative
The Knicks have 41 pts in the half ... what''s with the negativity, they literally can't score?
We're 23.8% from 3PTA and NYK is not even able to keep up in this poor shooting scenario
Are we watching the same game??

Really? The knicks still feel good. They’re in the game and the Celtics always stink it up in the 3rd quarter. They’re the ones up 1-0 in the series.

I will take our defense giving up 41 pts in a half everytime. If I'm a CELTICS FAN, I'm happy right now. Repeat the first 24mins over the next 24mins and Celts win by 18pts.

Tatum has to get some shots to fall in the 2nd half. The rest of his game has been solid.

Can we stop excusing his play with stuff like saying oh he’s grabbing a lot of rebounds?

It’s just pathetic at this point.

This is like the third straight playoffs where he’s been complete ass at scoring.

The guy has to take a huge hit. This is embarrassing to say the least.

Are you sure you want to trade JB?
Maybe it is the wrong J to move

Pathetic outing by the other J. He is scared of OG who literally owns him

Be serious. Neither, but the answer can never be Tatum.

[phincsfan]

Barkley really believes the C’s can’t win without KP. That just shows he does not do his job and watch basketball.

If we somehow get to the finals we ain’t winning **** without him.

I gotta disagree with that

[MaxwellSmart]

Again we fail to close out the half.....we were up 16, now it's 9....nobody can shoot on this team.

Not me. Knicks are still in the game. I felt the Celtics needed to come out and have a 20 point lead at halftime at least.

I honestly believe that Rico and Neems can play this series and not be a negative.

Agreed. Neemias could do well for some mins. Baylor may be able to do the same.

Said the same stuff last game… they won.

I'd love to see Neemi for a stint. But if Joe was gonna do it, he'd probably have done it in the first half

[NYCelticsfan136]

They better not have the usual crappy 3rd quarter or bye bye.

You guys are a bit reactionary. There is more to basketball than individual scoring.

Horford will be completely gassed by then.

If we get through we’re not playing the turnstile that was Luka last finals

Any union workers in this thread can relate to having a KP working with them. Same pay but half the work.

Oh I know. Only time their getting up is at half and time outs

With Porzingis being limited, it's a good idea to put Queta in there. I think that he'd be better than last year.

More like specialist pay while showing up once a month.

[Fierce1]

Told ya Tat would show.

[NYCelticsfan136]

I don’t think this knicks team is all that. It shows you the ineptitude of this team.
