The ball needs to move. A huge reason for inconsistency is because one game we're sharing the ball the next its back to ISO ball. When we won game 4 everyone got touches.

If Brunson has to go for 50 tomorrow we're probably headed back to Boston for a game 7 loss.


No I need Brunson to take at least 25 shots, go for 30 shots if he needs to.


Makes no sense. Our last win we had a ton of assists and the core 4 players all scored over 20.

Towns need more touches more 3 attempts and to not foul anybody early that’s the difference I’d make. Not just out there getting cardio play through him in the first half and good things can happen

ngl, these celtics Ls haven't bothered me. felt more like statistical regression while being up. the balls it took to get those first 2 wins told me a lot.

the detroit Ls were tougher to take because they made me question if we are really "like that." i feel confident we are in general.

this is the playoffs at a high level, y'all.

Right.

Wasn't it the Spurs-Pistons Finals series that had only blowouts until the final 3 games?

It's weird how it goes sometimes.

They will all need to be much sharper on Friday, including Thibs.

You mean the game where Brunson shot 25 times? Yes we need that again. Others need to step up and bring it too like I said, but Brunson needs to lead. I don’t care who takes second, third, 4th most shots but Brunson needs his 25 plus and the rest can fall in line

I think its safe to say KAT has been the biggest disappointment thus far this post season. There is not one game that we can go back and say if it wasn't for KAT, we wouldn't have won that. His defense has been atrocious, he's constantly being guarded by a guy half his size and cant take advantage of it and he's just overall been Charmin soft.

I wont blame him completely for his shortcomings though cuz the coach has zero game plan to get him involved. Its astonishing that they are utilizing a guy with his talents as a decoy on the offense for entire quarters at a time.

I guess even if we played very good defense there was no way they were going to look like a useless team with out tatum.


Gee I wonder if the league will review it after the fact and hand out any discipline? Or if ESPN will even mention it


broadcasters saw it last night. :lol: cameraman did the lord's work.


But did Chuck or Shaq and the crew mention it ever? I missed if they did, and didn't see ESPN today

1973 classic Eastern Conference Final:

The Celtics routed New York, 134–108, Game 1 at the Boston Garden, but the Knicks returned the favor with a 129–96 rout in Game 2 at Madison Square Garden.


Knicks won in 7

Debatable. He barely played down the stretch, had 4 points no rebounds and was a -3 in the 4th. The game credit IMO goes to Bridges/Brunson for their 4th quarter heroics.
