2/27- Celtics@Knicks

[128]

The Knicks' first-round opponent may well win the series, but it's going to be a war.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

No delay of game on Robinson? I don't care about the FT disparity. That's the NBA. But selective enforcement of DOG is a bridge too far for me.

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

They’ve gotten fantastic looks that just aren’t going down. Variance is a bitch.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

They're just not going to win many games going 9-39 from three.

This is how Joe wants to play.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Doubt these guys fly out tonight. They deserve to stay in NYC.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Bad stretch. Mitch Rob made a big difference.

When Hauser sucks like this they do feel a player short.

Like Jaylen Brown for example?

 

[bankshot1]

Every time the Celts sniff single digits Knicks smack their nose.

 

[Stu Nahan]

If the Celtics had made even a decent percentage of the wide open looks they have had from three, they are right in the game. What a joke of a performance from them tonight.

Like I said earlier today in the other thread:

Right now, the only concern I have with the C's are (1) potential injuries and (2) the entire team going ice cold from deep for an entire series.

Having watched every game this season (and for many many years now), those two seem to be the only recipe for beating them, and even then, it usually requires a super human effort from someone unexpected on the other team.

Momma said there'd be days like this...

If I were a SoSH-powered AI, I would make a statement that of course Sam Hauser turns back into a pumpkin after the trade deadline.

But I am not. But seriously, Brick Hauser is killing this team.

Killing this team?

 

[ifmanis5]

Like Jaylen Brown for example?

Even with him.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Marcus Smart special!

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

Frazier calling out Brunson for kicking Smart.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Killing this team?

Literally. I thought I saw a part of Al Horford's soul leave his body on that wide open miss.

 

[kieckeredinthehead]

The one thing that truly scares me about this team’s chances in the postseason is the refs

 

[HomeRunBaker]

Frazier calling out Brunson for kicking Smart.

That’s going to be reversed to a foul on Smart.

 

[Mooch]

Of course, they missed the obvious travel.

 

[ifmanis5]

Can't check that he traveled though.

 

[HomeRunBaker]

Of course, they missed the obvious travel.

That too. Refs went 0-2 on that sequence.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Why does the NBA do this? Who thinks this is better or necessary?

 

[benhogan]

Not the Celtics night if they reverse it

 

[djbayko]

Refs have no idea what to do here.

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

I don't care what the call is at this point just make a decision.

 

[shawnrbu]

These 5 minute reviews are awful.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

This endless review

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

Replay is such a load of shit. I don’t care what the call is this has taken way too long.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

IF you have to look at this fucking long, you don't reverse it. Simple.

 

[djbayko]

Do over.

 

[Mooch]

This officiating crew should be forced to mop the court after the game.

 

[bankshot1]

If they gotta look this long the call stands

 

[128]

This is fucking ridiculous.

 

[HomeRunBaker]

Not the Celtics night if they reverse it

It’s def a foul on Smart the questions are whether the basket counts which it may.

 

[ifmanis5]

LOL this is terrible all around.

 

[gammoseditor]

Lol

 

[shawnrbu]

And the mic doesn’t work lol

 

[Mooch]

What a fucking joke.

 

[The Mort Report]

Wait.... wait. I thought they couldn't add the foul on Smart, only kill the offensive one?

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

That's a tax season officiating decison

 

[HomeRunBaker]

LOL! Love it as a Celtics fan but what exactly is a natural motion when you’re falling on your back? Wow

 

[shawnrbu]

Can Thibs decline that ruling?

 

[shawnrbu]

Now the clock froze.

 

[Bernie Carbohydrate]

We’re going to have games like this. Live by the three, etc.

This reminds me of the 4-42 debacle against the Clips in 2022.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Scal thinks every possession is huge. All the while, double digit leads get erased in seconds around the league. 11 is doable with two minutes left.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

This game is a little like taking mushrooms at the moment.

 

[Spelunker]

This game is a little like taking mushrooms at the moment.

Because they're shitting themselves?

 

[djbayko]

Because they're shitting themselves?

Because the Celtics basket has shrunk to one tenth its size.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

This game is a little like taking mushrooms at the moment.

Thibs' sweat is said to have hallucinogenic properties.

 

[128]

This game is a little like taking mushrooms at the moment.

Not a good trip.

 

[benhogan]

This game is a little like taking mushrooms at the moment.

more like a dental visit
