I hope the Celtics end up in foul trouble at the end of the game because of this BS.

Can the league please do something about the hack strategy. It's killing to whole product. No casual will watch this nonsense.

Celtics are super excellent, Knicks are super garbage can trash. There's not really much else to say.

Mazzulla is playing 8D checkers, and Thibs is stuck in 2D.

Hart gobbled these offensive rebounds

A lot of Knicks fans in garden.

Celtics playing pretty average but still up. These wide open threes should eventually go.

Here's my question for you guys. Knicks played a slow pace game during regular season despite being a guard-heavy team. 26th in the league in pace. In the playoffs they're top 3. It makes sense for them to play fast. Why don't they do that during regular season?

Can't believe how the Knicks give up an offensive rebound after another. The effort is lacking and it just won't do vs. the Celtics.

They’re up 10. Can’t argue with the results

*I don’t like it though

Yeah it definitely works but I had the impression that the big bad Celtics could defend without having to do hack-a-player. I guess their defense isn’t actually all that great.

Celtics playing down to their opponent, otherwise would be a blowout already

They rarely go to the rim , just shooting threes

Celtics doing varsity stuff fouling Robinson like they are the underdog team trying to beat a perennial contender.

Mazzulla is a great coach

okboomer · Post #457 » by **okboomer** » Tue May 6, 2025 12:11 am

The Knicks are 7/17 from the line and the Celtics 15/19. Going to get swept shooting like that.

Yep. There are so many ways the game is stopped that the game barely has any flow. It's a good strategy, but it's boring to watch.

What is Hart complaining about? He jumped over Jrue’s back

AussieCeltic · Post #460 » by **AussieCeltic** » Tue May 6, 2025 12:12 am

Wait… Hart jumped over Jrue who was boxing out and the foul is on Jrue??

Who wins and goes to the ECFs?
