Celtics (58-20) at Knicks (50-28) Game #79 4/8/25

I can't stand how often we give up open two layups and shots in the paint to miss threes. Jrue does it all the time.

It worked out but my god, they had two open looks inside and instead kicked out for a 3. Luckily White got another OREB but even then he hesitated before taking the wide open layup

[Silas]

Rough start...

[Phantom255x]

NY and KAT have been the far superior team so far and it's only a 6-point game

We need to make some shots though

[jpotter33]

Like Tatum's energy coming in tonight.

[Vermont Green]

The bench is bringing more energy

[Atzar]

I feel like 75% of the "great defenders" in the league are just guys who get away with fouls more often.

[Phantom255x]

I wonder if this is the playoff rotation too? Like will there be stints with just Tatum and the bench?

[jpotter33]

Remember all that talk of OG/Bridges shutting down the Jays? Yeah, example number 4 of the season of that not happening.

[Phantom255x]

Idk if it's a good sign for NY that despite all that, it's only a 3 point lead at home. Tatum showed up but the rest of our team was meh. KAT was awesome.

[jpotter33]

KP has to secure that dang rebound there. Same with White. Four points given up unnecessarily there due to not securing the boards.

[jpotter33]

JB is killing us not being able to anchor a non-Tatum lineup with three starters in there. I'm really worried that his dang knee injury - that he apparently has no intention of resting - is going to cost us a repeat title.

[Phantom255x]

Brown and Porzingis 1-11

[jpotter33]

How about we stop trying to guard KAT with guards and wings?? Good grief.

[radiohead]

KP finally getting a groove with those 2 threes
