He was trying to foul bait. That wasn't a real shot.

That was embarrassing by the Knicks. Pritchard schooled their entire lineup.

Celtics making 3s in the first Q is good news for the Knicks cause that means they’ll just be spamming 3s for rest of the game too.

Going about as expected, the question is what will happen this time after the celtics build a 20 point lead.

Yes, he picked it up in the ORL series, why he missed a game.

LMAO at Mitch's free throw arc, trying to jam the ball in through the front of the rim

I don't see the Knicks coming back in this game. Boston's 3s are falling, and the Knicks offence (and defence) is non-existent.
