Brunson's flopping and foul-baiting are tiring.

I love that the Knicks are down 20 and you can still feel the Celtics sphincters tightening.

Will the refs ever call these blatant moving screens on the C's? Absolutely inexplicable.

Well if Knicks fans want something to hang their hat on it's that Boston had an extra day off between games. Games 4, 5, and 6 are every other day. More of a chance of fatigue and less accurate shooting.

That's about all I got.

Ugh the dreaded 20pt lead
[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]

Run a different play please. I don't trust Tatum from the top of the key to make the right play.

It's not like a Knicks sweep was likely, so I'll take this loss after how the Celtics shot tonight.

Still up 2-1!

it's the Jays. Dumb fouls, forced awful shots, turnovers, etc. Mental midgets. Nothing any coach can do when his star players aren't clutch. Just have to hope others around them hit their wide open threes this game unlike the previous two. If they blow a third 20 point lead their reputations will take a hit they'll never recover from.

Not clutch… right. Don’t let 2 bad games ruin your narrative.

Well they wouldn't be blowing a 20 point lead this time, it would be 30.
