The season is on the line with this half period. This is an embarrassment but not shocking. Always held this team was fraudulent this year.

Man, game thread is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO negative

The Knicks have 41 pts in the half ... what''s with the negativity, they literally can't score?
We're 23.8% from 3PTA and NYK is not even able to keep up in this poor shooting scenario
Are we watching the same game??

Why doesn’t the team come out and say what he has? All they say is illness.

Another solid half by JB and White and they should walk away with a win

Still not convinced Tatum is "the guy". Routinely shrinking in big playoff matchups doesn't bode well, especially once we start to lose pieces around him (likely this off-season).

Tatum has to get some shots to fall in the 2nd half. The rest of his game has been solid.

Really? The knicks still feel good. They’re in the game and the Celtics always stink it up in the 3rd quarter. They’re the ones up 1-0 in the series.

I heard they couldn't diagnose it, hence difficulty in treating

Barkley really believes the C’s can’t win without KP. That just shows he does not do his job and watch basketball.

Can we stop excusing his play with stuff like saying oh he’s grabbing a lot of rebounds?

It’s just pathetic at this point.

This is like the third straight playoffs where he’s been complete ass at scoring.

Well they could use his scoring. What the hell doed he have? Why can’t this franchise be upfront?
