GT: Celtics @ Knicks, Game 3 Saturday 3:30pm ET

[Jay10]

One thing we can't overcome or fix is Jalen's lack of size on defense.

Boston completely exploited it.

Only because the Knicks won't stop helping him. Let him deal with the player he's defending on his own, or it's going to breakdown the defense.

why does mikal only get 10 shots...he's 6-10

he gets to that mid range pretty easily...

[Wildcat]

Watching Thibs and Rick talk pisses me off so much.

[Nicnac]

We can't win another game boston has confidence now. There will be no adjustment next game. 7 games. No adjustment yet.

[2010]

Why are the starters still in?

He got those shots in spite of Thibs.

Why?

[K_ick_God]

Thibs has no new ideas

But not on him that KAT and 0g can have bad, very bad, games

[matchman]

KAT should sit now

[god shammgod]

3 in a row would have been too much to ask. It’s ok. Hope for a better effort next game.

We can always count on sham to bring the glass half full perspective!


It would be a lot easier to go with this if we didnt get blown out. And have been down by 20 in every game.

We’re up 2-1 after 3. It’s better than expected.

[H_20]

Just win game 4 and its all forgiven.

[Kampuchea]

Watching Thibs and Rick talk pisses me off so much.

I’m sick of them having conversations, time for a change.

[Stannis]

At least we finally get to watch some of these other guys

[Capn'O]

That sucked. On to the next.

[nyknicks09]

Why is KAT still in the game?

WTF is this head coach trying to prove by leaving KAT there?

[Chanel Bomber]

One thing we can't overcome or fix is Jalen's lack of size on defense.

Boston completely exploited it.

Yeah, they really hunted him and Kat today

The thing is, for as lost as he can be, KAT has size. He can contest shots, shrink passing lanes, deter lob passes into the paint. Brunson is a non-entity on a lot of possessions because he doesn't have length.

It's not about placing blame. It's just a reality that against bigger teams like Boston Jalen's a liability on defense that can be exploited because he's small.

[Wildcat]

You know what's insane? If the Knicks weren't 5-23 from 3PT range, this'd be a fun game.

[Jeff Van Gully]

stannis, you deserved better.

[K_ick_God]

All playoffs, even the sort of exciting but rollercoaster wins, Thibs has used Payne and Deuce poorly — just basically not playing them

Offense is kind of pathetic

Defense is probably less his fault and has had good stretches for sure

We’re up 2-1 after 3. It’s better than expected.

We have lost 10 of 12 quarters.

We have been down by 20 points in each 3rd quarter

It makes no sense that we are up 2-1
