Can honestly say I was not expecting that.

W/o Tatum and KP having syphilis they absolutely need White/PP to score.

Hauser a nothing as well.

Wouldn’t have minded a tiny bit of Queta or Scheierman to loosen things up on offense

Also wild how many awful posters come out of the woodwork here when this team doesn’t win a title lol

Dumb ass NBA media really tried give Tatum “The beneficiary” for a nickname because of these team mates….

Can you honestly blame him? I know most on this board will but no one else has done anything.

He shouldn't be forcing things. Drive and dish. It works.

He was. Did the shots go in?

He is not doing that. He is trying to win it by himself and it is resulting in a lot of turnovers.

The Knicks have taken away all the looks we were getting last game how can you not see that lol?

Knicks fan coming in peace.

Surprised the Celts took game 5 but now the Knicks had a chance to adjust (by not letting Brown dish). Therefore, only Brown can score. Let's face it, other than Brown, there's nobody to fear on the Celts. My only wish was that Tatum was playing so there'd be no excuse.

Hope you all enjoy the Knicks/Pacers series and have a great summer - "gone fishin'" as they say on TNT.

What is the fascination with tanking on this board? Did you guys not learn a damn thing from what’s going on with Utah?

Is Game 4 of last year’s final too far back for you to remember nephew?

LMAOOOOO.

A meaningless game when they were up 3-0 and wanted to close the title back home.

Did they forget game 7 against Miami. The **** number 8 seed?

Short memories around here.

This version of the team is far closer to what we've had over the last decade then what we had last year.


Let’s be honest. While the doom patrol is having fun, the reason why they kept getting smacked by Miami was in part because Marcus Smart believed he was a true number 1 option to the point where he almost single-handedly shot them out of the 2022 ECF. They blew some leads and it’s tough to repeat. Also tough to do it with Tatum and KP apparently not at 100%. Bring it back next year, make some slight tweaks, work as a 3 seed and Tatum suits up again in April.


That's fine.

Tatum did author a 3 to 1 deficit against this incredibly trash Knicks team.

Let's stop letting it slide just because he got hurt.

The reality is they’re nowhere near the NBA’s best without Tatum.

It’s not rocket science.


Even with him they are front runners.

It's time for people to get over it. Tatum is a beta.

What a bizarre night to have a crack at Tatum

You forgot that he got 100 dumb turnovers.
Turnovers aren't the problem.

When we lost Game 2 this series was pretty much a wrap.

Insane how blowing two 20 point leads at home has spiraled into Tatum’s career potentially being changed forever and this squad being dismantled a year after a dominant title run.

Life comes at you fast.

He's a ball stopper who can't pass or dribble. He can hit some tough shots yes, that not enough to offset how many dumb plays he makes.

Brown leads the team in assists even though his teammates are shooting 24%


He has 3 assists compared to Holiday's 2. He also has 6 turnovers due to his inability to dribble, and regularly getting caught in the air with nowhere where to go and passing the pall directly to the other team. He's not a smart player, he wins with sheer athleticism and shoots himself and the team in the foot every other possession. He's the Jameis Winston of the NBA. If you want that guy to be your franchise cornerstone you're in for a rough time.

That’s why I always say..keep Brown and Tatum and it doesn’t matter what you got around, they will compete for championships. They did it with a Rozier, Marcus Morris, Baynes, Horford..did it with Kemba, a broken Hayward, Theis..they did it since always. They are the ones who matter.
WHAT THEY GON’ SAY NOW? ‎ THANK YOU TRUTH!
