You can overcome either a bad shooting night or a one sided ref game. Can’t overcome both.

The only free throw Tatum got tonite was the technical on Brunson.

Tatum's been hot since he got pushed in the back going for that dunk. Seemed a little personal tonight against him, but those are green-colored glasses.

Yup. This is that kind of MSG game in late winter. It had that feel from the rip. It feels like they happen every season.

Would it kill these guys to run a set play in the paint once in a while instead of just BOMBS AWAY every possession.

No. I can watch these games unbiased to the officiating and this has been one of the most one-sided NBA officiated games I’ve seen in a long time.

Stupid Knicks and their stupid fans and their dumb vermin infested cellar. And Thibs and his muck-it-up style of hoops. This game had suck all over it the minute it was put on the schedule.

Lame.

What is Joe doing? In what universe do you pull Al for Kornet but leave Smart, Brogdon, and White in?

The implication was the Celts got fucked by the refs. They got fucked by the Knicks. Knicks played well and hard all night.
Why can't both be true? Just because someone says the officiating was bad, it doesn't necessarily mean that they think the Celtics played perfectly or the opponent didn't play hard.

Sorry, but I disagree. Celtics shot themselves in the foot by shooting so poorly and playing pretty uninterested defense. Add in the one sided whistle and that's it. If the shooting/defense were better, they'd have won. The Knicks didn't really do anything special.
Knicks hit a shot every time the C's made any kind of run.

I may have this wrong, but I believe the C's only leads were 3-0 and 3-2.

Shouldn’t be overlooked how much Jaylen was missed tonight. On a night where they couldn’t throw it into the ocean, it would have been nice to have his slashing ability.

Didn’t the Knicks smoke the Celtics on Christmas in 1985-1986 season? This is a good omen. I was at the first MSG game this year. The inferiority complex is real. The fans really get up for these games. Smoke them on Sunday.

This game is just so Midtown. Its a really gross place if you spend any time there. Its messy and dirty and rude and it sucks.

9-42 from 3, 28-42 from 2.

That's just how you lose. They hit 13-42 and it's a game that's down to the wire.

Tatum's pissed because he just put up 55 in the fucking All-Star game and he still can't get the same whistle that Julius fucking Randle gets.

I was at that XMAS game in 1985 at MSG. And I took a fair amount of good natured shit. But told the MF knick fans, " you won tonight, but we'll be playing the Lakers in the Finals." I almost had it r.ight

They really haven’t been playing that well since the all star game and could easily being 0-3. Yet they squeaked 2 games out and are 2–1. I do take solace in that but have to get over this all start break hangover and move on.

Besides the fine masonry from the C’s there is cause for concern with how Timelord is getting pushed around. Could not maintain balance and be an effective defensive presence. Hoping he can round into form
