2024 NBA Season and Playoffs

[Who]

This game is wide open.

Both teams are conceding easy opportunities to the opponent on almost every defensive possession. No D.

[celticinorlando]

If the Celtics defend and rebound I’m not sure how the Knicks win.

And the Knicks might have some serious issues guarding Boston because they are so small

[Phantom255x]

Haliburton may be hurt. Idk. But this guy is clearly not the same as the first half of the year. He also seems "scared" out there. Needs to step up.

[hpantazo]

Quiet start for Brunson and NY still up 5 on the road. Not a good sign for the Pacers.

[celticinorlando]

Celtics will have to play much harder vs the Knicks. Knicks success  predicated on rebounding and winning 50/50 balls

And Josh hart is not right.

I feel like the Knicks might just run out of gas vs Boston at some point

[j804]

I think we’ll handle either team in 6. We have way more length and firepower offensively. Rebounding could be an issue but if we all lock in on that we should be fine.

I feel like the Pacers are an easier matchup Hali is a non threat offensively ain’t nobody scared of that horrendous jumpshot

[CelticSooner]

This is the slowest pace game of the entire series so far, certainly favors NY.

[celticinorlando]

Neismith shoots entirely too much

[j804]

Neismith shoots entirely too much

Definitely which is why I’d rather face them. They don’t have any guys that scare me.

[celticinorlando]

Knicks just get a lot of calls and get away with a ton.

[Who]

Brunson 2-9 FGA 5pts

McBride 15pts
DiVincenzo 12pts

They are bailing Brunson out. NY has 5 guys with 3-5pts apiece.

[celticinorlando]

So many guys for the Knicks playing way above their level. So annoying

[W8ting2McHale]

Does it feel weird watching and waiting while other teams play? I’m so used to the Celtics having to play 7 games that waiting for the next round feels strange. Is it just me?

[Who]

Why does Siakam start his post ups so far from the rim? He is starting 17-20 feet from the basket and facing up. Trying to beat J Hart with quickness.

He starts 8-10 feet from the basket. Stay there. Fight for position. Hold him there. Then catch the ball. Instead he just gives up on the position and moves towards the ball to make an easier catch. Thus making a harder scoring opportunity for himself.

Basics.

[hpantazo]

It's got to be tough for Pacers fans to see guys like Hart and Divincenzo outplaying Halliburton.
