GT: @Knicks VS Celtics: Game 6: 5/16/25-FRI 8PM ET; ESPN

[Wildcat]

Like I said before the series started (and even prior to the Detroit series), if KAT doesn't impose his will against defenders that are 4 to 7 inches shorter and at least 20 pound lighter, Knicks won't win. GO IN THE POST, not 28 feet from the hoop.

Towns regularly went to the post but the Celtics collapsed on him as soon as the entry pass was made by cheating off of Josh Hart.

I rewatched the 3rd quarter and it was staggering how the Celtics completely ignored Hart and used Kornet (7'1) as a roamer to help contest in the paint.

It was a lineup problem and Thibs was too slow to react and sub off J. Hart.

More Deuce

Deuce making eat crow. Happy to see his resurgence, because I basically wrote him off. He's literally provide double what he did in the Detroit series.

THis has to be our game. We need to play with poise and urgency.
Should be a win though for many reasons:
Celtics are not a legit contender without Tatum
Knicks vs Pacers are an epic matchup
last game the refs wanted to give celtics fans something to feel good about before the offseason.

[HarthorneWingo]

This means that we get Breen calling the game?

Yes. Breen calling the game and our legends in the crowd... Ewing, Starks, Walt Clyde, etc.... I expect the players and fans to be ready for this one.

It’s going to be epic!

We can’t leave White have open 3s. Switch or not switch, a defender has to be in his jock the entire game.

Same here. Though to his credit, Josh took and made more 3s in last night’s game. Sometimes Josh gets a little overly exuberant with the his passing and it results in unforced turnovers.

Ugh.

Wingo - how many years/decades have we been waiting for this!!!

Whoever the easiest Celt to choke off is, we need to target. Stop at least one of Prichard or White and I like our chances. Thibs gotta EARN his coach title NOW!!!

You know what I honestly think — the NBA is one click away from losing Knicks fans

A dropoff in fans of the team and the NBA in general

Not random that many of you didn’t want to watch the second game last night … I also didn’t turn it on

That was a common sentiment … and it is a big chunk of fans who may dim the NBA’s pilot light altogether if that fan base becomes much less engaged

Bc the coach is a tick or two behind on seeing around corners

The way I look at it, both teams been around 105 points a game in this series, Brown will get his 25, white gets 20....where are the other 60-65 coming from? Horford/Jrue/Pritchard/Kornet(lol)/Hauser/KP(lol)......
not happening man I think j Knicks come out firing and out of away early, Celtics got their guy one and gave the crowd one last W before Cancun don't read to much into it, $500 face value tickets going for $1500(face value), to much $$ on the table to not have a game 6

Unfortunately KAT doesn't have post game. These moves don't grow on the tree especially against good and versatile defenders he is doomed. Its like demanding Rudy Gobert to dominate them, its just not going to happen.

Def wouldn't go that far he just starts his post up to far from the rim, he's alright on the block and needs to stay aggressive because they will double and he can find the open man

Not coming at you but you may be whistling past the graveyard here

Boston is a capable defensive and offensive team without Tatum … they will shoot 3s and in a more unpredictable way, which we don’t do well with

Bridges seems to have the worst + - numbers on the team

KAT is either a no show or out of control often

He barely plays the bench

OG has now put up two big duds in 5 games. 40% no show games for 0g

Again Pistons beat Knicks twice soundly in NY. This Boston team is better

Granted that is glass half empty stuff but it’s enough to think this game is a toss

[K_ick_God]

Say what you will about Mazzulla but he seems like a careful planner and is making changes to try to get the details right

[K_ick_God]

Anyway I’m obviously super negative about the team right now and so I’m banning myself from the thread

Good luck and see you after
