Game 1 of Tatum revenge tour.

I hope Kerr was watching.

Why wouldn't Tatum be better this year compared to last? Brown got better last year so it's Tatum turn.

This team can only be derailed by injury. No one else has the depth to compete with them.

DiVincenzo's shooting and hustle will also be missed.

Time will tell, but this Knicks team looks soft.

Reminds me of the 2020 Raptors.

Super disrespectful to the Raptors. They had a bunch of tough smart veterans that just lacked the offensive firepower to keep up with the top teams after Kawhi left. Their playoff rotation was:
Fred VanVleet
Pascal Siakam
Kyle Lowry
OG Anunoby
Norman Powell
Serge Ibaka
Marc Gasol
Nothing soft about that.

Yeah, this version of the Knicks is softer than that 2020 Raptors.

Guess you could say that the 2020 Raptors was mildly soft.

Guys like Anunoby, VanVleet, and Norman Powell just don't scare me.

What a cathartic win!

Hearing all of season how good the Knicks are. They know they traded for KAT right? Who did they think they were getting? Prime MJ?

If JT really has fixed his shot we’re going to be very hard to beat.

Let’s go Celtics!

The last 4 1/2 minutes were pretty ugly.

Sort of shows what Pritch and Hauser become when they're not alongside some starters.

Did the Celtics as a team finish by missing their last 13 3's after making 29 in the first 43 minutes or so???

Tatum was masterful. Is it just me, or does it look like he's putting more arch into his shot? Just looked like there was some touch there this time around.

Been praising Kornet much of the 1st half in the game thread. He was as much a reason why we had a big early lead on the Knicks. This is why we should be at ease even without Porzingis until January (or whenever he comes back) instead of spending assets going after the JVals or Walker Kesslers of the league. Kornet knows how to play his role well on both ends.

While I wouldn't say I necessarily agree, I would have liked to have seen more attacking Towns.
Baylor is Brat.
