Its very interesting the way the Celtics play KP. They don't require him to focus much on rebounding and to just use his energy on defending the rim. Really plays into his strengths

Game is over already

Opposing center on Hart and he has found no answer to this all season. Either bench the player, or take him out of the corner and put him on the ball more.

What is this offense? Attempt shots at the rim while there's a shot blocker waiting?

These are the kinds of games where we need a microwave scorer off the bench to change the pace.

Why do the Knicks always look lost and confused against elite teams?

Watching Mikal, OG and Josh Hart trying to create shots is brutal

We need a secondary ball handler and shot creator

The defense is awful as usual

They are completely LOST defensively

This team is completely unprepared to play today.

This team is soft. As much as I dislike Randle, he would be bullying Porzingis right now.

Everybody is taking dumb shots.

A simple adjustment. Let's see how long it takes Tom to do it

Not a fan of Bridges at all

Putting him on ball doesn't really work neither. The center usually just dares him to shoot the 3. He has to shoot the 3 and make it, only real way to punish it.

Offense is awful. Defense is awful. Exposed once again. Celtics should be embarrassed if they don’t win by more than 20.

The Celtics aren't invincible. They can lose.

It's the coach's job to devise an effective plan of attack to use our strengths to go at their weaknesses.

Thibs gives them no plan to execute.

The Knicks lack a vocal leader on the court.

I’ve tried to be patient with the coaching, but the lack of flexibility against a team like Boston — at THIS stage of the season — is too much. I’m sad to see it going this way for this beautifully constructed Knick team.

Take Hart out, put Deuce in. Wake up Tom

Not watching but you're saying Timmy is being out coached again? You don't say?!
