Knicks Transfixed As Celts Stop Shooting Bricks! R2G3 Victory Cigar vs NYK 5/10 (NYK leads 2-1)

[NYCelticsfan136]

Rooting for the cavs tomorrow to tie their series. For some reason i feel like it would give some hope for monday’s game.

[The Corey's]

Tatum has to be better. You're not gonna get that kind of performance from Pritchard every game.

[Parliament10]

Looks like Big Al is gonna be our primary big until he's 45, and I'm not really sure if that's a good thing or bad.

I'm good with him as our #2 Big.
We need younger legs as our 1st option, though.

Not sure that that's Porzingis, either.

[Shak_Celts]

Still didn’t enjoy a lot of the 4th. I think every 4th quarter the group who starts it, starts the leaking that we never recover from until tonight. I don’t want to see it game 4. Put in every starter to start the 4th, PERIOD!

[Parliament10]

Tatum has to be better. You're not gonna get that kind of performance from Pritchard every game.

Yep. Yup. Can't continue to count on a Bench Player to be the Leading scorer.

[FlatearthZorro]

I'm sad that we lost 2 games to this Knicks team. If we don't win game 4, we're going to Cancun more than likely.

[Setshot33]

Good win, back in the series!

If you had told me 3 years ago that Pritchard would be a better driver and finisher than Tatum, I wouldn't have believed you but here we are.

Can't get lazy on offense. Keep the pedal to the metal.

[Floody100]

Took 40 3s out of their 83 shot attempts. This team will never change its stripes. They made 20 so it helps but they literally die from the 3. They might be the only team in the playoffs that relies on this.

We shot 50% from 3 lol

Our strength is our 3 point shooting. Surely you should be happy that under half their shot attempts were 3s ?

[PierceFan4ever]

PP but shoutout to Horford for being great start to finish and making some timely threes. White, Brown, and Tatum played well enough to get this team to a 31 point lead. JT as the star player still needs to have a better all around scoring game, need to convert some of these layups and midrange shots especially for the next game.

Don’t let up, be aggressive again from the start! I wasn’t worried about this game from the start because I know the Celtics are significantly better they just choked away 2 very winnable games.

No matter who wins that series, it should show the league that the pacers were the best opponent we faced last season and they are a good team! People dogged us for that round even though we swept them but I said then that they weren’t giving the pacers their proper due!

[ThePigeon]

JT with a better stat line than Shai last game and he still gets criticised. Should be more aware of shot selection, not rush them and do not take end of shot clock contested 3s and we are good
His penetration and gravity counted for 7 assists. I'll take it

[itrsteve]

Not going to lie, I had/have all the confidence Celtics will even this thing out but nerves were ultra high going into this. We could have been looking at a total implosion

[SuperDeluxe]

Not going to lie, I had/have all the confidence Celtics will even this thing out but nerves were ultra high going into this.

My thoughts exactly

[Shak_Celts]

I’m so happy for Pritch and Al, they played tougher tonight. Making the big shots helped too. I didn’t notice them in the first two but I thought their defensive intensity tonight was impactful.

[exculpatory]

Pritch, Brown, Big Al, Derrick EXCELLENT.
JT made his 3s - weak at the rim & in the mid range.
Overall, excellent D.

Was on edge up 30 - not a good sign.
Our ugliness in G1 & G2 left me very nervous & I still am.

Gotta keep it up in G4 - take nothing for granted.
An MVP 40 spot from our first team All NBA guy would be nice.
But I don’t know what to expect.

Gotta go back to Boston 2-2 & then finish these mother ****.
We should be up 3-0 RIGHT **** NOW!
Outrageous that we are not.
We were not beaten in G1 & 2 - we gave the games away.
Knicks suck.

[ThePigeon]

And shout out to Joe for making the team play faster (for a at least a handful of possessions). White pushing the pace led for good shots before NY defense settled
And of course for calling timely TOs when NY started to sniff a comeback

[Almeida]

Tatum was a little better but I still didn't really like his game.

[Setshot33]

JT with a better stat line than Shai last game and he still gets criticised. Should be more aware of shot selection, not rush them and do not take end of shot clock contested 3s and we are good

He deserves every bit of it.

He gets promoted and paid like a superstar who you can depend on to take over games like these (especially games 1 and 2) but shrivels up and looks lost when you need him most.

Even in this win, he refused to drive when KAT came out to guard him on the perimeter and struggled with smaller players on him in the paint.

So yeah, he deserves every bit of shade being thrown his way.

[meatball sub]

joe calling timeouts helped settle the team down and stop the knick runs

[Jellybeans]

KP had little bit more life into him tonight but hes still LONG WAY TO GO
