Yes, Knicks played great defense, but the option to go to the basket was there, as we saw in the last minute. Celtics only needed a few buckets during that monstrous run, but they played this like a regular season game, as they always do.

This brand of basketball works. But that doesn’t mean the oppositon can’t/won’t gameplan for it. When they do, a good/great team adjusts and find other ways to be effective.

Case in point, the Thunder, Wolves, Warriors and Cavs all shoot 39-42 3 pointers in the regular season (Boston #1 at 48) but those teams are smart enough to slow down the chucking when needed and depending on game situation.

The Celtics (coaching?) did not not adjust at all in both games and is now paying for it in a 0-2 hole. That stubborness might cost them the series too.

I started the game late because NBA commercials are the worst and my daughter is the best, but I posted as I was catching up and I said at half-time that we had figured them out.

Either way, welcome aboard new-friend! You'll find a lot folks on our board who were even more down on the team than you :lol:

I want to hear all the pods.

Him and Russ, Lowe and Windy.

Probably gonna be more excuses for the Celtics than credit to the Knicks by Windy.

Also, can’t wait to hear the saltiness from Pierce, Cowherd and all the rest for completely disrespecting the Knicks after game 1.

The short answer is yes. But the Knicks deserve all the credit and the Celtics deserve all of the blame in the 2 games. No excuses.
The path is if the Celtics stop feeling sorry for themselves,they had the 2nd best road record of any team in NBA history. They did not lose a road game in NY in the last two seasons. There is a way to dig out, but the Knicks won't hand it to them.

24-25 Celtics are 4-2 against the Knicks it's all good! KNICKS IN FCKING 4

The Celtics have to attack the rim more and not strictly shoot 3s. They are too predictable but when they make them, they are unstoppable (but not now).
