2/27- Celtics@Knicks

[Jed Zeppelin]

That was like each component of the “What are you worried about?” thread played out in real-time all at once.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Why is Blake in? Where is Muscala or Kornet or even PP?

Is this a "doing Blake a solid" game because it's cool to play in the Garden? I can't think of why he's in there over other options.

 

[bankshot1]

Seemed happy jacking 3s and staying out Randles way. Didn't work. They gotta get more physical tonight.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Why have Blake burp up threes. That's why you got muscala.

Was just coming here to ask this. Glad to see a coupe of other folks asked too.

WTF is Coach Joe doing with these rotations? Take both Al/Rob out and bring in Blake and run him out there with 3 guards?

 

[benhogan]

White to the rescue

 

[Deathofthebambino]

And another great officiating quarter, for our opponents.

10-2 on FTA, and 6-1 on fouls.

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

Hauser looks like he’s not up to this.

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Hauser fouled him...with his back?

 

[Just a bit outside]

They seem pretty stagnant tonight. A lot of standing around.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

And another great officiating quarter, for our opponents.

10-2 on FTA, and 6-1 on fouls.

They made it ridiculously easy on the Knicks defense. Surprised they even had a play aggressive enough to deserve the 1 foul.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Knicks did a good job of baiting TimeLord to go for the block and then kicking to his man in Hart.

 

[128]

1 for 12 on 3s, which, in case you're wondering, is 8.3 percent.

 

[128]

Hauser looks like he’s not up to this.

Rest of the team, apart from White and Brogdon, looks the same way.

 

[Reverend]

The Curse of the Black Head-Bands

 

[128]

When Hauser is in the game, perhaps his teammates should try to find him for 3-pointers.

 

[Strike4]

Rest of the team, apart from White and Brogdon, looks the same way.

Hauser can't contain so everyone is scrambling.

 

[timelysarcasm]

Lol 8% on threes? I mean I'm slightly surprised we're only down 14 at this point. That's really nothing in today's NBA.

edit: 12.

 

[Reverend]

When Hauser is in the game, perhaps his teammates should try to find him for 3-pointers.

But that’s just what the Knicks will be expecting.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Remember when Muscala played like 45 minutes?

 

[Reverend]

Celtics get like 4 good points and Knicks call a TO to break up the mo.

 

[Strike4]

Yeah coach read SoSH and is trying to steal some playoff rest for the big dogs.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

The Curse of the Black Head-Bands

You might be on to something

 

[Auger34]

Is anyone being forced to watch the bill Walton cast of this game?

 

[128]

Not a great night for Tatum to no-show.

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

If they refuse to give a fuck, I suppose I can turn this one off. Earliest rage quit of the season.

 

[Helmet Head]

They just don’t have it tonight. It happens. Hate that it’s against NY.

 

[128]

Knicks up to 55 percent from the floor.

 

[Helmet Head]

Not a great night for Tatum to no-show.

It’s been happening a lot more recently. Starting to get me a little worried.

 

[timelysarcasm]

Getting cooked by Obi Toppin. Thankful for the Bruins game alongside this trash.

 

[bosockboy]

It’s been happening a lot more recently. Starting to get me a little worried.

I’ve been told this isn’t a problem.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

TimeLord got UP for that block.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Not sure this team can hold onto the 1 seed long term with the disparity in MIL's remaining schedule. Making it hard on themselves as usual.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Knicks are the kind of team that missing Jaylen and his athleticism is noticeable.

Does Brad need to remind Joe that he has Muscala?

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

I’ve been told this isn’t a problem.

I'm with you, it's at least somewhat of a concern.

 

[128]

Not sure this team can hold onto the 1 seed long term with the disparity in MIL's remaining schedule. Making it hard on themselves as usual.

The fact that the Bucks never lose is worrisome, too.

 

[The Mort Report]

bad Marcus shot luckily works out

 

[bankshot1]

Jekyll playing better than Hyde

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

Mazzulla and Thibs coach like they're playing with the new pitch clocks. No timeouts, even in the face of Armageddon.

 

[128]

C's are scrapping, but 6.7 percent from 3-point range ain't going to get it done.

EDIT: 6.3 percent

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

They score a bunch of twos in a row and then go right back to jacking and bricking threes. Dumb basketball.

 

[timelysarcasm]

1 of 16 from 3.

 

[Reverend]

I have no idea how Smarf got that rebound.

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

They’re missing Jaylen’s scoring badly tonight.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

They’re going to get hot. These threes are wide open.

 

[Reverend]

1 of 16 from 3.

That actually makes me feel a little bit better about this.

 

[timelysarcasm]

That actually makes me feel a little bit better about this.

Honestly, me too! That is freakishly off and should start to correct.

edit: Heyo! 2/17. Boooo 2/18.

2/19!

 

[LesterFan]

The rushed 2 for 1 that never works strikes again.

 

[ifmanis5]

2/19 from 3.

 

[128]

They’re going to get hot. These threes are wide open.

C's will heat up, but I'm not convinced they'll be able to shut down Randle and Brunson.

 

[bankshot1]

The rushed 2 for 1 that never works strikes again.

The net value seems to be less than zero way too often.
