Is it normal for an NBA team to not actually run an offense? Dribbling around in circles and hoping it somehow works out would be acceptable for children, I would have expected a bit more from grown men.

The Knicks have matched jaylen's four turnovers.

We’re not even getting good shots.

The Knicks are actually playing good defence

Celtics need to get it together or they’re done.

White gets a lot of love, but his defense has been terrible all series.

Not winning a game like this with a brick show.

We're one superstar away from making this a game.

We can’t handle their switching defense. Crazy. Guys should be rolling to the basket all game long with how aggressive they are on the perimeter. Mazzula just has no clue what to do when the 3 is taken away.

It truly looks like we're the JV playing the varsity... one of our guys catch the ball and tries to get rid of it quick because a bigger guy is up on them...
just looks like we've had almost no good shots all game, and some of the 3pta from White and Pritchard esp... are like WTF
We're at 22 pts, this is sad

No ball movement at all. No plan on offense.

They've had looks, passes weren't made or were weak and/or off target. Not to say the offensive movement couldn't be better too....

In order to win the Celtics need contributions from everyone. Right now Holiday. White and Pritchard are a combined 1 for 12.

Still plenty of time to turn this around

White, Holiday, and Pritchard have combined for 2 pts. Browns basketball IQ is not the problem.

As the story of this series has gone, if we’re not hitting our 3’s we’re not winning a thing.

Joe's not exactly an offensive genius.

Yep unlike the previous L’s with Tatum the Celtics especially games 1 and 2 generated a lot of open shots but the whole team was on brick mode. Today they can’t do anything once they see the Knicks closing the 3 point line

Most of Joe’s offense revolves around Tatum and Brown getting into the paint and making the right play. Well, if you take Tatum out of the equation the offense blows.
