Knicks (1-0) at Celtics (0-1) Round 2 Game 2 5/7/25

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

Is it me, or is this crazy pro-NY (or maybe just pro-underdog) commentary from Harlan and Reggie driving anyone else insane?

It is very pro Knicks

about to turn off and switch to my ctreaming NBC sports BOSTON feed

Passing and movement would be nice.

This team is 2023 levels of frustrating...

That team was one game away from the Finals. Don?t give too much credit to this team yet

[SparzWizard]

Celtics better not make the City of Boston look bad losing to a New York team in the postseason. Already getting sick of hearing Yankees and Giants and Jets fans boasting over Boston sports in the playoffs lately

[celticinorlando]

Offense is dreadful and has been both round of the playoffs.

KP a no show
JT a no show

JB looks good then takes dumb shots to fuel the Knicks run.

White's shot selection is frustrating.

Tatum playing like a weenie. Completely shying away from the ball on offense and when he does get it he plays with no force. Hes already missed 3 layups and looks like he dont even wanna be out there at times. Yeah hes got 9 rebs but after getting flamed in the media for 48 hours i expected more from him.

And then you have JB whos getting to the paint putting his shoulder into dudes chests and playing with force off 2 feet. Hes took about 4 bad shots but ill take that if hes the only one whos being aggressive

[SCeltic34]

Frustrating half at times but I'll take another like it.

I think we need to do a better job of getting KAT in space and attacking his immobile ass.  Even without KP we should have the personnel to do it. 

Wouldn't hurt my feelings if JT knocked a few shots down either.

Both KAT and Brunson.  I thought Joe and co. would have a better plan to exploit this because both of them statistically are at the bottom defensively for their positions.

This is why game 1 made me so upset.  And I don't think we've done a good job exploiting the Knicks so far this game.  Despite this we've generated great looks offensively.  We're just missing wide open 3's and blowing layups.

True but Boston messed around vs Atlanta, Philly and then buried themselves vs a mid Heat team.

So far this playoffs they look identical.

[jambr380]

Literally both Games 1 and 2, the C's went 5-21 from 3 in the first half. Better hope they fall more in the 2nd half this time...

I was just gonna say that we were all like, there?s no way they can shoot 25% again. Checks notes, they?re shooting 23.8% so far in this one.

Tatum and Horford are killing us. And apparently KP needs to retire

[celticinorlando]

So much for the Cs to get out of their funk of taking volume 3s and missing volume 3s.

This team is just in a shooting rut.

look lets face it

out of the last few title teams this is most likely the dumbest title team ever.

who was smarter to you?

1984 celtics?

1986 celtics?

2008 celtics?

2024 celtics?

2024 was the lowest BBIQ

Maybe but it may end similarly. Maybe not a Game 7 but if they play like this and KP is useless, they could lose to Cleveland or even Indiana in 5 or 6. They might still survive this series the same way they did PHI that year, but it took 7 whole games

[ozgod]

Most unimpressive 16 point lead ever, but I guess it still counts. The Knicks have been inept as well thankfully for us.

It's kind of strange to see us going away from the supposed "killer whale" offense that makes a living attacking the weak link on the other team.  JB does it some in the post but nobody else is really even trying to hunt mismatches right now.

Embarrassing display from KP and JT?literally won?t be winning a thing if they continue
