I'm not liking the effort from O.G. on these Horford screens. Also, if Boston is going hack Mitchell Robinson, get him out there early in the quarter so that they're playing in the penalty for longer.

It was clear as day that all it took was some open 3s to fall for Boston to fully take control of this series. They up 20 in game 1&2 not even shooting ball well from 3.

It's amazing how MSG isn't much of a home court advantage simply because opponents love playing there. Like they know it's a big stage to show out in.

How’s that a delay of game when Tatum gave the ref the ball immediately

Knicks are outmatched to be honest. Cant be going down 20pts every game and hope for a miracle turn around 4 games in a row.

They're getting dominated for the majority of the games. they cant be going down 20pts in the first quarter.

Both MSG and Crypto.com arena suffer from that IMO. All the high profile people in attendance bring the best out opposing NBA players.

How is this a foul, Pritch literally had his back to Brunson,
Good assessment:
