Knicks (0-0) at Celtics (0-0) Round 2 Game 1 5/5/25

[Silas]

Oh, by the way, the Celts played great D.

[jambr380]

No Hauser, but that?s probably due to the fact that KP has been awful and Kornet has been great.

[mef730]

if we come out lethargic in the 3rd ill lose it.

finish these  new york bums in the 3rd.

do not let them back in the game

roll on to a 20+ point win

Feels good at halftime but that?s my fear. That third quarter can be a curse for us. Make it to the 4th and I?ll feel good.

[SCeltic34]

JB now the leading scorer.  I think he had 13 points that quarter.  0 turnovers.  If the Jays take care of the ball we're very difficult to beat.

[jpotter33]

Did KP play again after coming out that first quarter? I don?t think he did.

[Atzar]

Brunson's flopping and flailing is unwatchable.  And I say that as somebody who has tried to adopt a more positive view of the stars of the league this season.  I think the overall negative discourse about the game is toxic as hell.  But it's really hard to do that with him. 

The NBA needs to do a much better job of cracking down on that crap. 

[A Future of Stevens]

Man we didn't even shoot that well.

[Silas]

Man we didn't even shoot that well.

Defense wins games...

[BringToughnessBack]

Just caught up to live. Wow, watching this team struggle and be up by 5 and then 10 and amazing end of second half. Nobody can stop us from back to back but us. Loving this! Wish we could keep this team as is next year.

[Vermont Green]

Just noticed that Hauser hasn't played at all.

Yeah Mazzulla is only going 7 deep so far, idk why

Eight deep. You are forgetting Kornet.

In fairness he had just put Kornet into the game when I said that lol

Fair enough. I was slow to catch up.  My bad.

Kornet was +12 for the half.  Not a good sign when a team doesn?t have an answer for Luke Kornet.

Yeah but it's not just him. Giannis, Embiid and SGA are all just as bad. NBA allows it sadly

Out rebounded them by 10. Less turnovers and made more foul shots.

[Phantom255x]

We can start the 3rd on a run and put them away (I think NY folds if they go down 25), but it's also possible the refs sneak NY back into this game and it's a dogfight in the 4th.

It'd help if our 3s start going down
