Knicks (23-28) at Celtics (36-15) Game #52 1/31/18

Morris is the new Brown at the free throw line.

[kozlodoev]

Washed up guards seem to have a field day against Boston...Collison, Holiday, Bayless, Jack.

Pffff. Holiday is exactly the same this season as he's been for most of his career.

[jpotter33]

This is some pitiful D. I'm not exactly getting this smaller lineup with both of their bigs out there.

[SCeltic34]

That was just awful defense by Rozier.  Reached against Jack, giving him a wide open drive to drop the pass off to Kanter.

[celticinorlando]

Just ugly basketball. So much one on one and bad jump shots

[celticinorlando]

Make your dang free throws

[jpotter33]

What... in the world was that from Tatum? He seems to be having some confidence issues, even after that stellar game in Denver.

[celticinorlando]

What the?? Come on Boston. This should be an blowout...Keeping them in the game

[keevsnick]

How is it Tatum can hit a fall away jumper with a hand in his face but completely miss the basket on a wide open three?

[PAOBoston]

Overall, considering the only healthy guard available tonight is Rozier, pretty good half.

 He's never played this many games at this intensity level ever before in his life.   The rookie wall exist for a reason.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking, too. Can't really complain given the context. And we're actually getting good shots, just missing them. Only two TOs, too!

[celticinorlando]

Just keep driving to the hoop. Knicks playing no defense inside. Stop with the difficult jumpers

[Snakehead]

Was hoping Tatum would be here to play this game after being much better last game.  unfortunately, no.  The airball and he could hardly gather the ball a bit ago.

Rozier if he's scoring is great but he isn't running anything.  I hope we let Larkin run the PG spot with the starters a bit.

Otherwise, pretty good considering how much they need Kyrie and don't have Smart either.

[blink]

well could have been a worse 1st half honestly.  No Kyrie and we are up at half with Rozier and Brown doing good work in the half.  Need a bit more offensively from Tatum in the 2nd.  Nader had a good 1/2. 

I was watching my alma mater Iowa State take down Press Virginia earlier.  A win by the C's would make it a great night.
