Need JB to get on track. Handles and half court still looks shaky out there but again it’s early. Knicks have one of the best defenses in the league and we looked great offensively aside from a few sloppy plays which is understandable early in the season.

Could be better. Could be worse. 12 after we one is decent.

Great 1st quarter. Stifling defense and 30 points? Can't complain. These guys are still gelling too. I am ALL IN!

Defense good. Offense Meh. Hit some tough ones missed some good ones. Jaylen still can't dribble left.

JT, Holiday, KP all excellent. Not a good showing for Jaylen or DW early. Neutral on everyone else.

Would like to see a little more offensively than just being hot from 3 but the defense has been good, even if some of that was NY just missing shots

Crazy to play KP the entire first quarter. He's been great though.

KP in the paint really bothering the Knicks on offense.

Don't like the offensive boards they've been getting.

If we win every quarter by 12, the Celtics should win the game

They did the same thing in the preseason. I think the thought is that if you get one you think is an easy overturn you do it, and then you are more selective with the second. They challenged a bunch of out of bounds calls in the preseason as I remember and they all got overturned.

We're looking at a 48-point blowout.

If Joe is going to use this much double big he should just start with it.
