Rebound, defend, run. All you gotta do to beat this mediocre team. It’s a shame the Celtics are down 0-2. JT figure your layup situation lol

And I forgot to say this, but with their star, how come do we not play Pritchard more? It's proving to be fruitful.
Good assessment:

Cs don’t need a non-healthy KP. He’s a liability. Them insisting he can help is holding us down. Play anyone else seriously.

16 point lead. They need to try and get this to over 20.

[quote=“dkb964”]156-1 Celtics are frauds when pressure is put on them. They would have been toast if Luka was not stupid enough to foul himself out. Enjoy this ONE finals win. There will never be another with the Js and the Celtics cant afford stacked team.[/quote]

I’m glad Pritchard made that shot because our guys started to look frustrated after giving up those offensive rebounds. Almost had a 5 second violation and then almost turned it over on a pretty easy lob pass to Tatum. Hope they calm down over this quarter break

Could use his scoring. He’s gonna mess up our chances due to his incompetence.

I will keep saying

NO **** LET UP
SamIam 2010: Truth's ability to play so incredibly efficiently is so UNDERAPPRECIATED. Bballcool 2012: Amazing how great Pierce has been for so long. Continues to defy age! KG 2013: P is original Celtic. Wherever he goes, we go. This is The Truth's house.

Such a shame we couldn’t get one clean post season from KP health wise. We were warned though.

If the Knicks are waiting for a 20 to 30 point deficit, I’m good with that :lol:

Because Joe is playing Holiday a little too much imo. Holiday’s defense has been good but he’s overthinking when we need offense for important stretches

I wish I didn’t see that 6-7 from three graphic because that just tells me when they’re hot they don’t know how to stop when they stop being hot. I’m nervous.
NAME ON THE FRONT OF THE JERSEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(!)
