Knicks (25-26) at Celtics (25-26) Game #52 4/7/21

Tatum really needs to work on his shot selection...

Edit: good dunk JT!

[radiohead]

That was bad D by Tatum. Didn’t even contest the ball.

[SCeltic34]

I was about to say good things happen for Tatum when he attacks the rim with force.  Settling for way too many fade aways and off the dribble 3's.

[Ogaju]

Pull Tatum out for that Brad. That was such a selfish play.

lol.....you don’t want him to play then.

Wooooooooooooohoooooo!

Preview of the play in games!!!

50% from the line is horrid for an NBA team.

[tstorey_97]

Celtics FG 38.3% 3PT 7 for 17
Knicks FG 41% 3PT 8 for 16

Benches
Celtics 39 minutes 15 points
Knicks 51 minutes 18 points

First half featured "good Marcus Smart" a steal a block 4 assists 1 three point attempt that went in ...2 turnovers and excellent defense most of the way....getting into assorted Knick's heads as only he can.

Romeo looked ok, but he is deferring open shot opportunities.
Semi enters hits 2 straight threes.

Would love to see some fire in the third!

That’s on JB and TT.

[SCeltic34]

What an awful possession.  Smart and Brown just playing hot potato, no action off the ball.  Leads to a Smart heave from 3. 

Then followed up by a Tatum iso and turnover. 

[radiohead]

We’re opening the 2nd half with ZERO urgency.

[liam]

WOW, sooooooo bad.

[SCeltic34]

You knew Brad wasn't going to call a TO until NY made another bucket.  It's not like we're playing terribly on both ends of the court for multiple possessions or anything.

[hpantazo]

That's the way we used to start 3rd quarters earlier this season, lethargic and discombobulated.

Brad has it all written down on a napkin before the game.
