McBride has Tatum shook! Because every time he sees him, he thinks of his son and life at home!

Concentrate, Tatum! Concentrate!

I'm actually rooting for the Knicks but I don't believe they have a very good chance.

Since he kicked our ass and is the underdog, I'm all aboard the Jalen Brusnon hype train

Yeah it is. He moved and initiated contact into Jaylen Browns lower body.

That is the frustration part, I always said he makes it look like a foul even if he didn't. (Vs other players make a foul look like nothing happened)

It's one in a million, guys. "Don't have a very good chance" is too diplomatic.

Less is more (when it comes to fouls)


I'm going to cover my eyes and guess:

Marc Davis?

yep, he should have stopped and let him go. hope for help.

or take a seat on the bench in foul trouble


Towns just needed to move from where he was on the perimeter straight back to the rim. Instead he moved parallel to the sideline which resulted in him numbing Jaylen Brown. It's simple stuff but he seems to not have grasped this concept in 10 years in the NBA.

KAT getting into foul trouble is the YIN to Brunson's flopping and getting rewarded YANG .

It all works out in the end with the balance of the force!

All these offensive boards off missed threes will kill the Knicks. Cannot give second looks to this Celtics team.
