The Knicks Nightmare Continues! R2G2 Loss vs NYK 5/7 (NYK leads 2-0)

[PierceFan4ever]

It’s absolutely insane every single basket the Knicks made the Celtics walked the ball up the court barely crossing half court letting the Knicks have their defense set. Mazzulla is trash. I wish he’s gone after this season don’t let a championship run fool you, look at Denver did with Malone.

[BigTrade92]

The Celtics won the title in spite of the coaching.

Say what you want with the Udoka thing and replacing him with Mazzulla last minute, but that 2023 team should’ve been a Finals lock and went down 0-3 to an 8 seed, eventually crumbling at home.

Mazzulla has got to go if they don’t make a miraculous comeback here.

[Triple7]

Tatum is either ill and playing through it or this is Joe's masterpiece - park him on the wing for 80% of the game to do nothing.

The team looks ready for a summer break.

ill my AsS!
He looked ill because he’s scared! Dude has no bag at all. He doesn’t know what he’s doing on offense. Even on practice, he was practicing to jack 3’s. Practice your midrange pull ups. Instead of taking turn around fade aways. This teqm is a joke. If we didn’t jack that many 3’s game 1. We would have won that game, and probably won big this game. This team looked like fools. Jacking off 3’s non stop. Now the knicks knows the formula to beat us. Keep the game close, let us jack 3’s non stop, and pressure us in the end. Better win next game, or this will be a sweep. Again, Tatum is a joke!

Yep, Joe's fault that Tatum's 12-42 in this series. *rolls eyes*

[fallguy]

We could have went up 22 on a Brown and Tatum two on 1, where they threw the ball away. They looked at each other with a "no big deal, my bad" casual look. They needed to be pissed and fired up about that turnover. No killer instinct when it matters. You don't relent up by 20. You crush your opponent. They relaxed. That's on Joe, too. He should have screamed at them after that turnover.

There's a 'we've quit on this coach' vibe building.

[Red2]

Wtf is with this shooting? Are we blind ?

Nah...Tatum was laughing while Jaylen was pissed.

Lets channel those 94 & 95 rockets vibes!!!

Cs will win Game 3.

The question is Game 4.

I honestly think the KP crap has checked these guys out. They’ll take their millions and the ball and go home.

It's 100% Joe's fault that Tatum is being used the way he is.

Joe has created the culture of 3 pt chucking. So yes partially his fault.

[BigTrade92]

Mazzulla just said he didn’t call a timeout because they choose to “run the exact same play” with Tatum just driving to the rim and was surprised the Knicks just “defended it better”

The idiocy is astounding.

[Green89]

That foul by Holiday in the final seconds was atrocious. What the hell was he thinking, and he's a vet. We had the lead you don't **** foul.

[phincsfan]

What baffles me is they have a 20 point lead, which is never safe, but they each decide to try to shoot their way out of a shooting funk instead of playing basketball.

The idiocy is astounding.

Are you making this up? Or did he actually say that?

Me, Thibs, every Knick player, and everyone watching knew that same play was coming. HORRIBLE DECISION THERE TO TRY IT AGAIN

[doogie_hauser]

Well that sucked.

I feel like venting but I don't want to say something I will regret against this team that brought as a chip last season

Knicks are better/tougher than I thought.

May need time to cool off, I am so steamed right now.

He literally just said it in his press conference their airing on NBC Sports Boston.

I wish I was joking.

Stevens is a big analytics guy too. Ultimately, the alleged superstar has to produce big in the playoffs and he's never done so.

This should've been an AOS thread.
