We sure the Knicks just wanna pray the Celtics don't find their shot for 2.5 more games? lol

Those 3s were gonna start falling eventually

This game has all the makings of a Celtic meltdown. I can feel it in my bones. Tatum running his mouth in the 1st quarter, Celtics hitting every garbage contested 3.

This is why they shoot so many 3's. When they're falling there's nothing you can do.

Yeah, pretty much.

I guess the good news is that New York doesn’t need to win at MSG to win the series?

It's just RIDICULOUS when they hit 3s like that.

How the hell can anyone who knows anyone about basketball can look at that replay where Brunson clearly hit white’s elbow and say that is not a foul. I hate home crowds when they boo obvious calls like that.

That being said msg is the best arena/crowd
NBA should play the nba cup final 4 in msg

Look, I won’t back Knick fans but real fans have been priced out this series. Those are rich yuppies filling the seats, not the typical annoying Knick fan that still understands basketball.

Celtics are a spurt team. They have very dominant spurts.

Because the defenders can affect that 3 point shot?

Knicks' defence doesn't look that good when the Celtics shoot their 3 as they are well capable of, who'd have thought. They were pretty lucky in Games 1 and 2 that the Celtics missed a lot of great looks.

Doranku · Post #115 » by **Doranku** » Tue May 13, 2025 12:14 am

Celtics have not committed a foul on defense. Incredible!

Uh oh, OG is grabbing his hammy. Not good.

We give up a lot of threes by design. Bold strategy vs Boston.

That's the worst alley oop pass I've seen in a while

I think it's time for the question to finally be asked - has Jayson Tatum surpassed Jayson Tatum?

Puts the defense in scramble mode and when they start leaning in and hedging it creates open lanes for cutters and for guys to reposition themselves behind the arc for the pass. That’s why BOS generates open 3s at insane rates. The only “chucking” they do is end of shot clock and 2 for 1 type situations.

Who wins Game 4?
