Knicks (38-27) at Celtics (45-19) Game #65 3/5/23

Well I wanted Horford to take the last shot, didn't realize the playcall was for a 3 when we needed just 2 

Yeah I'm with JPotter. I know it was a tough situation after the Udoka incident and Mazzulla is probably learning as a rookie. But I just don't think he's it. At least not now for sure. He doesn't do anything noteworthy and looks clueless half the time in situations where the HC actually needs to make a decision

Knicks the better team right now

[Silas]

I am sorry Coach really hurt us tonight.

You got that right.

[jpotter33]

Great job by JT taking it to the rim!

Yet the final play call is yet again another three. You can't make this stuff up.

Do people legitimately think this is going to work in the playoffs? Teams have already caught on.

[celticinorlando]

Tomorrow night will have a long list of guys not playing. They will not even try to win that game.

The blown double digit leads have got to stop. This team has no killer in them at all.

[Phantom255x]

If we play NYK in a series even with HCA, I think NY wins it... they just own us and we are also playing poorly nowadays

[Atzar]

Can't blame effort tonight.  Just got beaten.  And in a way, that's even worse.

Maybe we just aren't as good as we thought we were. 

[SparzWizard]

Knicks won the season series against us and has our number. Hard avoid the Knicks in the first-round.

But perhaps it also time to declare the C's are now in trouble? They play the Cavaliers tomorrow night lol

[Silas]

Maybe Brad should have a private talk with Joe about timeouts?

[blink]

We played really well at the end of regulation just to get to overtime.  Then in both overtime’s we rely on jacking up 3s only.  Only in the last two minutes of overtime did JT attack and when he did then good things happened.

Threes need to be a part of every game plan, but jacking up 3s without passing the ball and moving the defense first is our recipe for disaster.

[Mahk E Mahk]

cripes, Al was open but not the shot I would have hoped they come up with

Did you think it would be anything other than a three? A three for a 36 year old playing 36 minutes in double OT - clearly the best shot we could've got instead of attacking the rim.

Especially since, you know, we've been just draining threes all night.

you beat me to it; was about to post the exact same. 36 year old who played 46 minutes is the guy taking the last shot? what a surprise he front-rimmed it. where are the “superstars” in crunch time???

[celticinorlando]

OT was lost on Williams awful foul on Randle under the Celtics rim. Grant then took another 2 3s and bricked them.

Celtics played no defense on quickley all night.

They can't beat the knicks.

[MarcusSmartFanClub]

I love our fan base! So positive!

What's to be positive about?

A top 5 team in the NBA. Time to acknowledge reality. They have an issue at coach and center. They’re lucky to have this record.

[Kuberski33]

Silver lining - Grant played well defensively. They need him.
Sucks that they have to go to Cleveland tomorrow night after this. Hello 3 game losing streak.

That said, the Knicks are playing well and Quickley went off. It happens.

Maybe Brad should have a private talk with Joe about timeouts?

The only thing Brad should tell Joe is Stoudemire is taking over.

Won't happen because Brad is just as incompetent.
