Because of Horford and to an extent, Kornet, the Celtics don’t really need Porzingis to play a lot. One good quarter from him and i feel they’ve done their job already on that end.

Disappointing game tonight but still series going to MSG tied 1-1, not all that bad for the Knicks. This series is not over yet.

And the Knicks have found their offense again to avoid the blowout. Good close out in the 3Q at least we still have a game.

Give Mikal a break; he played every minute last game and did not allow Brown to take last shot to tie the game. He needs as much rest as possible.

This Knicks squad reminds me a lot of the 2023 Heat with Jalen = Jimmy as the stabilizer but everyone else contributing in some way.

I don’t think Mitch has enough in the tank but he needs to play the entire 4th most likely

PLaying Porzingis at this point is basketball malpractice at this point. He's cooked.

Porzingis is out of breath after playing 5 minutes.

I know they are up 12 and won that quarter by 3, though to me the Celtics seem to be in a malaise offensively.
