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

Tatum has it in the post against a smaller defender and kicks it out for a contested PP three. Disgusting offense.

[SCeltic34]

Not playing well at all but only down 6.

Tatum what was that 40-footer attempt??

[jpotter33]

Only 20 KAT points with 4 to go in the first half, but, sure, let's continue to guard him with wings and guards, despite the fact that he's bullying them and shooting right over them. Great gameplan.

[Phantom255x]

This is just bad offense

[jpotter33]

And another open Jrue layup passed our for a missed three. Awful, awful offense, especially when we're shooting like crap.

Why are our main guys playing when no effort seems to be provided? I thought this was Hospital Celtics lineup tonight

It can't be that awful....they have the 2nd best offense in the league doing this stuff.

Katmandu. I like that.

Haven't heard that before.

That's all well and good - but a passed up open layup for a missed three is by definition bad offense and a poor possession, especially when you're shooting a whopping 28% from three for the game.

I'm kind of with Jpotter in the sense that this can't be happening in the playoffs though.

BUT I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt. Defending champs. Playoff tested. They will adjust as needed. I'm sure they'll take more of the open looks inside when they come then.

[Silas]

Good challenge..

[SCeltic34]

Quick 7-0 run.  That challenged call was huge.

[Phantom255x]

Nice run!

[Silas]

Refs are blind..
