Two of the turnovers were offensive fouls. He needs to stop forcing it offensively

They have taken care of it except for the jays.

Start the third quarter well, can't let the Knicks gain early momentum

This looks like it’s going to be a game at the end. We were going to gave to win a close one, this is prob the one. Hopefully Tatum delivers.

We haven’t really had too many guys who attack the basket in the team in years. We were built that way, starting with Brad.

Btw if we just box out Mitchell we probably win this thing easily. He is keeping them alive.

JT is our best Brunson defender by far. The only one that doesn't fall for his foul baiting. We need him on KAT though

JT 20-6-2-2-2 but not going to the hoop & 3 TOVs. Great D.
JB has been playing for the Knicks keeping them in the game. Stops the ball. 4 TOVS.
Derrick FANTASTIC.
KP has been a +.
Very good D.

5 missed FT IS SIMPLY unacceptable.

Need to come out in Q3 as if down 11, not up 11.
I won’t say what I usually add right now cause it jinxes them every time.

GET FOUL 4 ON KAT IMMEDIATELY GOING TO THE HOOP.

The first quarter ending disagrees.

Celtics decide to defensive rebound this game would be over. Knicks with 8 offensive rebounds

Defense is fine, they have to limit the offensive rebounds

Solid half with donkey JB And missed FT helping the Knicks.

He's been our best defender full stop. He at least doesn't abandon that end when he's missing his shots.

Brunson FLOPS his way to 4 FTs and the No Call when Hart fouls JB to end the 2nd...Crappy Refs.

All I ask is Tatum to continue to attack the rim and midrange. Half his shots have been 3s so he’s found a good balance so far. If the long ball stops falling he’s gotta get aggressive going to the paint to get them in rotation

We should be up by 16-18 if not for those bad calls.

Energy guys give Al the fits - he is much better vs skill guys

His rebounding has been so important tonight, at least 2 or 3 defensive rebounds he won't get credit for tipping away from Mitchell Robinson
