Celtics are for sure the favs in the East. Knicks may be there too, if healthy.
But, I see the Celtics gettin out of the East for now.

Boston and NYK are stacked.

Knicks are better but they still suffer from the same thing as last year. They don’t have another consistent scorer outside of Brunson.

that was randle before he got hurt

That same chucker getting booed at home?

Anthony Edwards just cooking Finney-Smith.

Cooked Bridges, Claxton, and DFS on the same possession.

Nets had to force a turnover though. Down double digits with less than 2 minutes left.

It's not a travel if they don't call it

Yall are in good hands for now and the future.

He's a really good player.

Brooklyn's roster has so much potential on defense. Crazy they've only been 21st on that end this year.

I don't get it. They've crushed the magic this year.

Spencer Dinwiddie and Cam Thomas getting so many minutes for the team definitely didn't do their defense any favors. They certainly are capable of throwing out a really nasty defensive lineup if they wanted to, though

Brother we were missing OG who could lock up one of your best players, and Randle our 2nd option, and Mitchell Robinson our defensive anchor who would've had like 30 offensive rebounds this game...

I'm not saying the Celtics aren't better than Knicks well healthy, because even still if Celtics are on and hitting their 3s they are, but you can't really make any conclusive statements based off this specific game imo.

[GopherIt!]

Both Paolo and Franz missing FTs

Paolo is sick and shouldn't be playing. Franz doesn't have an excuse

Magic need to draft a dude named Hans or Paolo should change his name. We need the Hans & Franz duo asap.

You really tried to prove me wrong by including rookie and sophomore Tatum games.

Lmao

Forgot OG is a few years younger.

Still the point remains.

OG isn’t some Tatum stopper like you think he is.

26ppg on 49% shooting since 2021.

Boy Tatum must be shaking in his boots

Tbh thats just team vs team matchups, I am trying to find actual head to head matchups with stats for when OG is guarding Jayson, but I am not the best at finding NBA advanced stats.

Did find this random image on google though, unfortunately doesn't have much context. Maybe someone with better knowledge on finding advanced stats can point us into the right direction.

[Johnny Tomala]

3/3 correct picks.

Looks like Paolo might've gotten away with a travel but clutch shot
