Low IQ by KAT to not get the shot off.

I am a bit surprised they're trying to run, but then why not as they got a lot of guards. But not their usual style right? I don't know the stats on pace in the league.

Edit: Knicks were 26th in pace in the league. But playoffs, they are #3 out of 15 teams. I wonder why they've changed their playstyle.

I can't eat Subway without falling asleep, so I don't eat it. The bread is probably filled with tranquilizers.

Every possession is too important to not be aware of the clock man

Seems like Boston is making a concerted effort to get their threes up after the Magic series, even if they aren't the greatest looks at times. 15 after one and had 24 the last game total (even in a blowout) after shooting way below their average in attempts.

Not sure the Knicks have the firepower to compete without Brunson and KAT being en fuego but it'll be fun to see if it can happen.

Knicks looking good so far. They just have to keep it close until clutch Brunson takes over.
Celtics missed a lot of point blank shots and they need to keep up the fast pace to tire out the Knicks starters.

Like who ? Mikal ?

Yes he just dropped 25 in a critical game for the Knicks as the Nets watched from Cancun.

Mikal good first quarter , 0 points but one rebound

I’d say way worth it 5 first round picks :lol:

Towns has Mazzulla Joe shook! He can't concentrate, because every time he sees that jersey, he thinks of the movie!

Well I was hoping for a nice flowing back and forth game and the refs have decided to ruin it.

Wolfgang630 · Post #379 » by **Wolfgang630** » Mon May 5, 2025 11:45 pm

More free throws

TimberKat · Post #380 » by **TimberKat** » Mon May 5, 2025 11:45 pm

This is a game the Knicks could steal and they are wasting the opportunity. Got to use Towns more in low post. Didn't happen until 2nd qtr when I am typing this msg

Who wins and goes to the ECFs?
