Celtics (18-20) at Knicks (17-20) Game #39 1/6/22

[Yuckabuck33]

Some one sided officiating there.

[Kiorrik]

That's an offensive foul. Come on man dude bowled straight into Grant.

Be objective ….that is bully ball.

Driving your shoulder into someone's stomach is bully ball.

And an offensive foul.

[Ogaju]

HOW IS THAT NOT A FOUL!!!!??

When you play bully ball the refs give you the benefit of calls.

Clear offensive foul!

Obviously not.

Yeah, I just love how the refs suddenly decide to switch it up and tighten the whistle, yet let that crap go.

That said, they usually favor the aggressor, and we clearly aren't that right now. Playing scared.

[blink]

so anyone want to give a game summary?  I am just starting to watch the game.
looks like we still at least have a lead!

[footey]

Knicks 46.4% from 3

[Ogaju]

Even Van Gundy recognizes bully ball.

Of all the things people harp on this season, no one seems to talk about Al's 3 point shooting. He's 28% on this season. For a pick & pop big that's supposed space the floor, that's problematic.

I've been harping on that since the season started. He's been really bad in that regard, even on wide open threes.

That said, he's got to keep shooting those. Without that shot, he significantly limits his offensive threats out there and becomes more of a bad match with Timelord.

I'd love to see Udoka split Horford and Timelord up. I'd start Grant Williams at PF if Udoka wants to stay big. Let Horford be the backup five.

I am fed up as to how limited Horford & Timelord are together on the offensive end of the floor.

[blink]

of course EF is going crazy from 3....

[keevsnick]

Runs starts against Schroder/Tatum/Kater lineup. Ime tries to stop it by going Smart/Brown/Williams and..... run continues. Doesnt matter what players are out there sometimes, they just fall apart....... as a team.

[jpotter33]

Man, Brown has been awful as well since the first.

Kinda why it'd be nice to have Cousins on this squad. Get some of that grit.

Me too!

Smart with the 3... Not so much!

[Ogaju]

Tatum is not happy……
