MSG Landlord Celts Collect More Rent From Deadbeat Knicks! Victory Cigar vs NYK 4/8

JT was unguardable tonight, especially in the midrange. Hit the game tying 3 and he didn't even look stressed about it. KP with 8 3's including the big one to give up the lead. Him and Tatum are such a good pairing right now. They look impossible to stop in the PnR and PnP. Give either the VC tonight as far as I'm concerned.

I hate to get into this but really turned off by what's going on with Jaylen right now. Shouldn't even be playing but he wants to get his 65 games after he flat out lied that it wasn't a factor. He looks like ass out there. No explosion. Doesn't trust that knee at all. We honestly look better without him right now and if I really think about it, that's been the case for a while now.

This may sound like an overreaction but I'm calling it now. KP is gonna play his ass off in the playoffs. He'll get an extension to stay here. Luke will get his new contract and someone else is gonna have to get moved to get us under the 2nd apron. I'm just sayin.

I think it's the franchise's record, not the league record. I'm often wrong though.

Jrue was instrumental in locking up Brunson in O/T it must be said.

NBA record. I am also often wrong!

Brilliant, thanks.

Fully healthy Knicks on their home floor with refs on their side. C's without KAT's daddy, Horford. And they still couldn't win.

This better be the last real game until the playoffs.

C's should definitely rest their starters the last 3 games but I guess we'll see JB for 15 minutes in the last two.

It'll be 20 minutes minimum

They did it again. B2B seasons with same 8 guys. Third straight season with 8 Celtics players reaching 100 3s.

Someone needs to find a photo of Tatum and McBride next to each other in this game and caption it "Deuce I am your father"

Very impressive stuff from JT.

KP also stepped up at the right time.

One of the best wins of the season.

Time to take it easy to avoid getting hurt.

Fun game. KP and Tatum get the nods from me like mostly everyone else.

Hopefully he sits tomorrow. Then probably plays 21 minutes against CHA so he can “figure out how to play with the knee”. :roll:

With history on the line, the Celtics, coming off an OT win in NYC, apparently arrived in their Orlando hotel at nearly 4am on game day (per Sean Grande). Ridiculous scheduling.

Remember all the people saying Tatum isn't clutch and wishing he was more like Brunson at the end of games ? I remember.

Very thoughtful of KP to get everything he needed in one game to keep the streak alive since he probably is done for the regular season

The trio of PP/White/Tatum unlikely to break the single-season record for most threes by a trio, IINM set by Poole/Curry/Klay in 2022 (788). They're 33 threes away to tie.

The Knicks have a good team.
Not good enough though.
Back to back 50 win seasons and winning a playoff series equals success for them. Yay!!!

Who smokes the big cigar?
