The Kat at the 5 bs needs to end!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Occasionally it’s fine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s not tenable long term!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And Josh hart is a 6th man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Dudes in here were insisting KAT is a 5.

I got lots of flack for saying he should be the 4

Can't believe it is even debatable

It’s good to point out the team flaws when we putting up 30 assists with no sets. Play real teams we crumble.

Where the Thibs defenders now ?

This is what stands out to me the most.

The Knicks are playing with ZERO intensity and force...

The Celtics are running around like this is game 7 of the finals.

This team is ass
Precious can’t guard
Hart’s defense is ASS every night
Kat can’t guard a tree
KAT in drop coverage every single game
We give up 3’s
There’s no communication on the defensive end
No clue offensively unless JB goes supernova
Thibs doesn’t have this team ready for big games
F*** it and f*** thibs

I agree but Josh Hart def shoulders a lot of blame...this might be his worst game of his career.

I love hart but he gets torched by Tatum and brown all the time. Those guys have his number

not only is Hart 0-5 from the field...hes made 2 or 3 miserable turnovers

and he probably has given up 4-5 wide open 3's

he is a complete disaster and he's my favorite knicks...da fuq is up. He can't do anything right.

This is the worst Josh Hart has looked in a while. He looks out of control and lost on all his defensive assignments.

Also, Precious is food for everyone on the Celtics tonight.

What happens when you have no backup wings is Precious playing SF and getting owned.

What happens when you have a coach who has no ability to make adjustments in any form is this game.

Hart is so great at the things he does well, you have to love him. But his lack of offensive skill and especially shooting hurts so much against opponents like this.

We need that third scorer to free up Kat and JB. Bridges isn't that guy tonight
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

they are bigger than him so its not an ideal matchup...but man the turnovers have been bad. And even when he's on pritchard he refused to close out 2 different times for wide open 3's.

its like he thinks everyone shoots like him sometimes. I get it if your struggling but at least show some effort and guard.
