PG: Awful gameplan, not prepared, not 1 good performance

[NoDopeOnSundays]

Sure they did. All that work your two big lineup did of looking like crap was thrown away by Hart

2 big lineup didn't even play 15 minutes together, KAT got into foul trouble and left, then Hart came in, sped up the game like an idiot and started throwing perfect passes to the Pacers who had 20 pts off turnovers.

You picked quite the day to defend Hart, he had as many assists to the Pacers as anyone did our team to each other.

Perfect day to defend him seeing as how your lineup has us looking the worst we looked all year.

Every time Hart checked into the game we were losing and the only time we came back was with him on the floor. Your boy was -20 and getting punked by the weak Pacers frontline you claimed he would dominate against.

The big lineup played 5-10 minutes together, Hart played starter minutes. I also think it's funny that we can just blame Hart then, since he's the one that suggested it


20 points off turnovers, we lost the game by 9 points, and Hart had 5 turnovers with 1 lonely assist. It's not hard to see why we lost the game, I mean this was normal -

[god shammgod]

he missed like 85 percent of the playoffs last year

Horford also looked a bit washed - and Brown was banged up etc. Shooting variance worked in the knicks favor.

It's fine to accept it was largely a fluke.

So their players are either known for being perpetually injured or are washed and they play an inconsistent style of basketball that can’t always be relied on. Not sure how that makes it a fluke per se. Yes there are dream scenarios where things could have gone better for them. Could say the same about us in this series. Or any team.

you can also say this series would be tied if not for a fluke. it doesn't matter because that version of boston is never coming back. we don't have to worry about them in the future.

I don’t want Mikal back around. Let him walk for nothing if we have to. Do not pay.

Tbh I really don't hold much regard for +/- for the guy who's playing most of every game when we have lost so many games obviously the guy playing like 45mpg is gonna have a bad +/-

When we win games it's by like 2 points when we lost it's like 6+ so

Need to lose game 5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rooting for Ls to get Thibs fired while we’re in the ecf is shameless behavior green Satan

[god shammgod]

while we all do it to some extent, some people here will argue their long standing opinion even after it has been proven wrong again and again. sad.

KAT is averaging 26 and 12 on 53/46/84.

And I see the same as you do. One team that knows their system, personnel and are prepared for the opponent. The other looks clueless on both ends.

couldnt have said it better Dollar...thats why I've said from the beginning this series is on Thibs to win or lose.

The team's preparation has been garbage, but guys on the floor need to be held accountable.

The lack of communication on defense is piss poor stuff from a group of guys who should know better. The brain dead turnovers is on them too.

How is it that KAT and JB score only 4 points in the 4th? Two All NBA players should never be shut down like this.

This is where I agree with JVG: It's not just one thing. Tom is getting his ass whipped and so are the players.

oh, dont get it twisted...I hold guys accountable. After Harts 5th turnover - I washed my hands from the game and annouce I dont care if they lose
because if they do they deserve it. You cant play like that in the ECF vs ANY TEAM and expect to win- especially on the road.
Regardless, Thibs has failed at his job. Not only in this series but all year because he had these guys before the playoffs and didnt play them enough.
How can Delon and shamet build chemistry in the ECF?! its a joke!

[Chanel Bomber]

Mikal and RG have thoroughly underperformed in these playoffs.

I have no issues with the way Mitch, Deuce and KAT have played. Perhaps uneven, but on average they have been positives for us.

Brunson was great the first two rounds, but is a liability in the current series.

Our "wingstop" duo have played like two RJs on offense. Defensively they're doing the work but they haven't been consistently elite either.

HEZI, please explain






He had 5 turnovers and 1 assist. Find another day to defend Hart, his turnovers were disastrous, you cannot turn the ball over against the Pacers and that's exactly what he did.

Does OG + Mikal get us Giannis?

maybe thanasis

[K_ick_God]

They came out basically dead in G3 as well, KAT caught fire and they win

Didn’t watch G2

G1 they played a fully engaged game … actually looked like the EC champs, nothing said otherwise … till the collapse, then they had no energy or confidence in OT

You can’t underestimate the blow to confidence, morale, momentum of somehow losing a game like G1 against ALL conceivable odds, to an extreme degree … they never recovered

Shamet was injured for months to start the year and Delon didn’t come until the trade deadline. Could still have made an effort to play them more but… these are stop gap guys on their way out of the league, not guys who take you to the finals. They could play together all they want and that wouldn’t change

relying on Payne all year instead of injecting Delon right away was a big blunder in hindsight. but I thought payne had his moments in the season. Even in game 1 against Detroit he won that game. And he brings some playoff experience. But he’s been a major disaster in the last 2 series.

There is also nepotism at play with Payne because he is Mikals roommate and he wanted him to secure the next bag. Took this long to shut him down

[mpharris36]

I dont understand how the knicks can beat the defending champions in 6 with miraculous comebacks only to lose to the goddamm pacers. This is the false hope that I can't stand.

KP with AIDS or whatever it was changes how BOS can attack teams. It was always a gift....we took advantage of it and credit to us...but we don't beat a fully healthy BOS team consistently.

to add to this mph...the celtics were playing with a short rotation like us- that definitely helped us as well.

and for asking big minutes from old man horford who just isn't an impactful player anymore.

KAT 3 FGA in the make or break quarter for us

No excuses

tbh I think he was tired af in the last quarter. he carried us (once again) in the second, but those drives to the basket are so damn exhausting and tough.
overall he was probably still our best player despite cooling off big time in the second half.

[mpharris36]

Damn Chanel after Brunson and calling OG - RG....nasty work

They started double teaming him. They weren’t going to let him beat them again. I think he made a lot of the right passes and our guys didn’t convert open looks

[god shammgod]

y'all have short memories. kat was out there with bench guys to start the 4th against the hali-less pacers and it wasn't going well. we were losing those minutes. that lineup didn't repeat it's 2nd quarter success.

[robillionaire]

With RG back in Toronto and Quickley still coming off the bench we are in the finals

I kid
