Knicks (26-23) at Celtics (35-14) Game #50 1/26/23

It feels so nice having a crisp game with no foul calls every single possession like the past few games

[celticinorlando]

Knicks are a two man team.

C's shooting has really cooled off and Knicks are getting open shots now.

We were up 15 and now it's down to 6... and Randle is cooking us...

Celtics just ice cold. Zero ball movement and a lot bricks off the back of rim

More bad coaching IMO by Mazzula.  I mean that starting lineup was ROLLING.  There's no reason to sub out Timelord 5 minutes into the game.  Not surprisingly we started to lose momentum thereafter.

He will shoot himself cold eventually

I left the game for 5 minutes and comeback to see NY on a 12-0 run. Is that correct ?
Let me guess, Joe watched.

Surprised he called a timeout there. Would have thought he'd let NYK take the lead before doing so

Let alone Tatum a few seconds later when he's 5-5 from the floor and cooking. I don't care what your rotation schedule is, you don't make that substitution and you let the hot guy continue to roll and don't freeze him. Brad was bad at that.

Joe had shown early in the season he would ride with the hot hand in those situations. Not sure what happened now.

Don't leave again

True but good looks.  Grant, Brogdon, and Jaylen missed 3 open midrange shots (shots JB and MB rarely miss). JB also missed an open 3.  Cs doing what they do though - give back the double-digit lead.

[slamtheking]

good to see PP hit his first attempt

[Phantom255x]

PP IS HARD

[Silas]

PP doing his thing.
