GT: Celtics @ Knicks, Game 4 Monday 7:30pm ET

It’s remarkable the amount of clean looks we miss. I don’t care if it’s C&S, off the dribble, a 3PT shot off an OFF board, a 3PT shot when we are looking to push a little….we just….brick.

this is why i can't blame thibs. these are open shots. and we passed open some too.

I don’t think Boston played some great half. If the Knicks made some shots they could be tied or even leading TBH

[F N 11]

Driving lanes closed because no one believes Hart is a threat. We need to figure that out.

[Jay10]

If we can lock down on our perimeter D -we can win this game. Also double Tatum- do not let him shoot anymore.

Tatum is being used as bait to draw the double team to get the ball to an open teammate for an open 3 pointer.

I was too young to experience the 90s knicks but I even feel like our crowd in 2013 was 10x better than this

Without question. They go limp too easily when things go astray. No wonder we play tight.

Wonder if tickets got so expensive it’s just full of rich people that don’t even care about basketball and the real Knicks fans are watching the game outside the arena.

it's all rich white guys and their kids lol

Close game. Could go either way. Idk. Obviously the Celtics are the favourites at the half. But, the Knicks have a chance. Play Mitch 20 minutes. Make 3pt shots for KAT. Have Delon Wright suck up some of those backup minutes. Fire Thibs during half-time. Some combo of those things might work.

Shamet should replace Hart.

Mikal 11 FGA
OG KAT Brunson with 8 each

I like our chances more when we spread it out more and let Brunson be more of a floor general than a gunner.

I’m disgusted with Karl Anthony Towns. Knicks should get what they can for him. Just not a smart player and not built for playoff ball. Where are the middies? You took like one three point shot. Lost on D. Take the L and move on.

[Red Vines]

This team would look totally different with another coach. Still obviously need to patch the holes this summer.

most of the open looks are for our bad shooters though

brunson/KAT don't get open looks

and OG gets closed out fast.

Mikal gets some looks but his 3 ball has been iffy all season

they just aren't guarding Hart. Those are most of our clean looks.

[kNicksGmen]

oh yea forgot to mention crowd is absolutely garbage

they got a little hyped when the knicks made the run and took the lead. but then the celtics went on a mini run and got like a 5-7 point lead and crowd was just dead from then on. embarrassing fans.

[Wildcat]

THANK YOU.

This is all that it boils down to. I'm not giving any of them an inch of room on the perimeter. On offense, the ball needs to move. If I see Hart standing in a corner tonight i will have a mental break

I'll do a wellness check at half time.

I appreciate that

Checking in. You're not alone. We're with you.

[WargamesX]

Like unless KAT scoring kicks in at some point during this series we really got to consider trading him.

Rather change the coach TBH.

Idk…. I feel like it’s Thibs and KAT. Like we need a legitimate second option and while KAT is nice as a finisher he isn’t consistent.

I don’t even know who we could get to do that either, but for what he makes he isn’t living up to his salary.

[Carl_Karlson]

Thibs just makes substitutions (if even that). Dude runs no offensive plays, makes no in game adjustments, and doesn’t even motivate the team. Get rid of the guy

[Wildcat]

So ... who do we blame?

- KAT is playing like the lowest IQ player on the court.
- Thibs still no real offensive sets.
- Mikal being maybe too aggressive? I'm not sure. 11 shots. His D looked better in the 2nd.
- Poor defensive communication.
- I'm almost certain Payne isn't a Knick next season.

Yep. That’s their gameplan and it’s how they won the chip.

[WaltFrazier]

Windhorst says Celtics do a good job avoiding fouling. Shut up fatso

[TKKnicks1]

Cs are known to go cold for stretches. Hoping one comes in the 3rd and we can take the lead. Goal is to get it to single digits in the 4th where capt clutch can take over.

[Jay10]

The team would look totally different with Julius instead of KAT.

KAT gets too happy with shooting 3 pointers.

[kNicksGmen]

and payne was terrible. he gave up that 1st pistons game but has been utter garbage the entire post season.

would have been cool if shamet or wright could have gotten a shot at a 2-3 min spurt to see what they have.
