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

KAT is such a weak link defensively.

[Phantom255x]

Brown is clearly out there just trying to get his 21 minutes and then sit 

[Silas]

JB mauled and no foul.  Refs really suck tonight.

[jpotter33]

JB is absolutely killing us out there. Providing nothing out there.

[slamtheking]

Jaylen just a real negative out there this game.  ineffective on offense and defense tonight

[SCeltic34]

KAT is such a weak link defensively.

That's why I'm not all that worried about the Knicks come playoff time. 

The C's aren't even taking great advantage of KATs and Brunson's defensive liabilities this game.  They will in the playoffs.

Brown is clearly out there just trying to get his 21 minutes and then sit 

Which is hilarious, as he has zero shot at any postseason awards. Unless he has some sort of contract benefit for games played, this makes no sense.

Yeah, it seems like some of it is not wanting to show our hand for the potential second round matchup. In the previous games we were putting KAT in a ton of high PnRs that they had no answer for.

I think it's so he gets selected for the 3rd team ALL-NBA, which would mean an extra 2.2M

[Phantom255x]

You have a KAT. We have a Porzingis

he's got an outside shot at it considering how many of his competitors for that honor have missed a lot of games to be ineligible

Like I said, zero chance of happening, and deservedly so. He's not been at that level this year.

If you listen to the NBA podcasts, he's barely even mentioned, and thus far it's always been as one of a few honorable mentions for third team. No realistic way he's getting selected unless several of the borderline players like Brunson and KD and more don't end up meeting the games played requirement.

[SCeltic34]

KP = cheat code.

[slamtheking]

swapping out Jaylen for Torrey Craig would improve the play out there tonight for the C's. 

[jpotter33]

KKPPPPP! When he's playing like this we're virtually unbeatable.
