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

We needed.....








*SIPPIN*

[blink]

only themselves to blame for this loss.   no excuse for playing so poorly on both sides of the ball and even then, choking away the game in OT -- not just the Jaylen FTs but the garbage offense after going up 5 in OT

Yeah the last 3-4 minutes of off was horrible.  All Tatum ISO with no ball movement.  Then Tatum went cold and since no one else had been involved at all we just imploded.

Joe  is Brad 2.0.
Soft and doesn't hold these guys accountable.

Well joe, you get your teachable moments out of this which are more valuable than a win.

showing Randle laughing at Brown over the miss.  hope they play that for Jaylen repeatedly all season to make him hate that feeling and learn to focus on his FTS

Randle should have walked across the lane giving Brown the choke sign, vintage Cedric Maxwell.

Up 5 in ot with the ball and Tatum misses one at the rim. Randle hits a 3. All down hill from there

3 losses in a row to average to below average teams. Joe doing nothing to motivate these guys

[radiohead]

Brown continues to be Jekyll and Hyde on the court. Pure choker on the FTs. Ridiculous

It was bad enough that he missed the freethrows. But to have no presence of mind to foul after is mind boggling.

TIMELORD a ridiculous + 21 in 36 minutes...

[jpotter33]

All Star JT shooting blanks in the last 3 minutes of the game. JB and his freethrows, ugh. Those 2 players are our no 1 and 2?

Did you even watch the game? Noone can credibly blame Tatum tonight. After getting screwed and frozen by his coach after a perfect 5-5 start, he single-handedly brought us back in the game in the 4th with like 10-12 nearly consecutive points.

This loss is on virtually everyone else, particularly Joe and JB. Joe's gameplan is just not working and has only been covered so long due to the hot streak to start off with.

[Atzar]

We're going to get outplayed from time to time in this league but it's hard to accept losing three straight because of self-inflicted wounds. 

[SCeltic34]

When your team gets significantly outplayed by a lineup that includes Toppin, Hartenstein, McBride, and Quickley, you straight up deserve to lose.  That's a garbage combination of players.

Brown will get over this in 5 minutes. His improvement plan will be going to the swimming pool and working on his hammies & glutes.

Gonna cut them some slack. Dropping three in a row sucks but it was bound to happen.

The season is long. It’s hard to stay laser focused for 82 games.

Also it seems like the last 2 weeks we’ve had more guys banged up and missing games.

Not to mention the Celtics have every team gunning for them every time they step on the court. Means a little more when you’re playing the best.

Being the best means you don't drop 3 in a row to terrible/not good teams.

bird would have questioned this team’s heart and called them a bunch of sissies.
