Something changed this season I reckon. He threw a bit more shade before

Idk I noticed it too but for whatever reason, I actually didn’t have the dread I normally do when Reggie is the commentator. I thought it was just me thinking that.

Reggie has been very fair when doing Knicks game. When he started his career as an announcer, he basically made it clear he would call games down the middle. The stuff he did during last year's playoff games were 99% for threather. He was one the first to give props to the Knicks when JB started to look legit.

I'm like listening to him do color commentating.

Was about to post a similar comment. TNT guys turn into real clowns when covering certain teams but gets really bad for the Knicks.

They also mentioned how unbearable Stephen A and Spike Lee would be after the game. This is probably why they hate giving the Knicks credit.

This sh** is so horrible to watch man…
That was an epic comeback and you find a way to spin it and focus on Boston missing 3’s???

The Celtics play so gimmicky it gets annoying

-hack a Mitch in the 1st half
-hunting matchups into iso ball all game long
-3 spam, tnt said 19 out of 20 shots in the 3rd qtr were threes wtf

OG is now our 2nd leading scorer for the playoffs

I think at the start of the season, it would have been way easier for the Celtics to plan against Brunson and KAT

OG will make the Celtics pay if they just treat him like a role player

Switching got KAT in foul trouble and we had to go to Precious and were down 20 with KAT only scoring 14pts. Thats not really a good blueprint to win more games.

I dare they try to pull that crap again. All it does is slow the pace down of the game (which favors the Knicks), gets their rotation players in foul trouble, and gets our guys extra breathers

It would be one thing if Mitch was starting and we were reliant on him playing 30+ minutes and the majority of the 4th quarter. Them fouling Mitch benefits the Knicks more than it hurts them.

KAT stepped up in that switch defense and guarded Tatum in the fourth quarter, he did well and can guard on the perimeter

On the post game for the Celtics, Eddie house calls OG one of the “others”
Like bro wtf?? :crazy:

Celtics are likely going to have a much better shot selection in Game 2.

TNT put the loss on the Celtics missing shots, but didn't give us an ounce of credit for our defense or coming back down 20 m making clutch plays down the stretch.

The only positive line was a very unenthusiastic, "That guy <OG> played great", from Barkley . ....clowns.

In the first half he looked like he couldn’t do anything. He had to get pulled (rightfully so) because of this and the hack a Mitch.

We will need to be strategic with how we use him with his clear faults and apparent drop in athleticism, but he can still be very useful in the right situations

I was mean to Mitch in the GT.

I called him Assquatch

He's been pretty awful

I hope he turns the corner during this series

Mitch’s +/- was the highest in the team at 13. KAT was second at +8.

That’s good enough to play him again in game 2. We should also play Mitch again in game 2.

It’s your boy Brunson’s fault. He’s the Captain and leader of the team. Why isn’t he communicating? And isn’t the other Nova guy, Josh Hart, a loud mouth? And Cam Payne can’t shut his mouth like ever. Only PJ Tucker!!! You’re losing your edge. Your kids must be wearing you out. :lol:

Not true at all. Two of the early fouls were not even fouls or a result of switching. He didn't touch Brown and got called for a foul.

Didn’t you say something about not watching the game or checking out early? Hmmm? So whe we were down by 20 in the 3rd quarter, were you watching?
