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

[Indocelts]

The next time we have a 20pt lead Joe needs to be replaced by Cassell for us to have a chance to win this series.

Joe obviously has been a bum but anyone blaming him is dead wrong?once again the Celtics had a massive lead and the Celtics players literally choked like dogs, got tight and couldn?t hit the broad side of a barn or defend anything.
Players fault.

Who.ledt that lineup out there and who decided to put NY in the bonus with 2 to go?
Who coaches them to chuck 3 after 3?

It's 100% on him

I know I?ve said it before, but I really don?t care anymore. This team is just not fun to watch and all is does is make me angry.
I don?t see any reason to subject myself to this anymore

flash backs of when we lost to Miami this team has some real issues man, some of them are mental.

Remember when it was all Marcus Smart's fault?

Hahahaahah yeah.

It's the J's. And there's three of them (not Jrue). Two of them got to go and their names start with Jaylen and Joe.

[trickybilly]

I do remember that in the series against Indiana last year, we won only by an inch or so in each game. Little bit of luck is needed, but this frozen shooting start to this series is pretty frustrating.

MIssing TONS of wide open threes.

dumb brad is blowing a dynasty

congrats brad

FIRE TGHIS CLOWN OR U CAN get out TOO

Tatum has been dud in the playoff since last year. He is a pretender.

Dude literally just had a dominant three game stretch to help us close out the Magic. Don't just make stuff up. He's played terribly enough this series that we don't need to make crap up to make it worse.

[Phantom255x]

Tatum will get scorched the next few days and it's deserved. 7-23 Game 1, now 4-18 and Brunson is absolutely cooking him in the clutch too. The real clutch player. Embarrassing.

Players fault.

Obviously the players' fault - they were all horrible - but Joe seemingly doesn't want to do anything to help fix the problem. And he doesn't have any solutions anyway. His unorthodox approach of letting players play and not taking obvious TOs looks so unbelievably bad when it results in a close loss.

I'm kind-of with others here. A sweep here will bring massive changes and hopefully that includes the coach. We wouldn't have had to deal with this if we had just lost to the Hawks in 2023. Joe would have been gone

[SparzWizard]

Eh I think I'm done investing time in this team this season. If the effort is p----poor, I don't wanna waste my time watching them. Both games you had 20-point leads and both games, they somehow find a way to choke and make new embarrassing headlines over and over. NBA getting bang for their buck this round. Last round against Orlando too in Game 3. Jeezsus.

[greenhead85]

Series is almost over. We've seen what little they can do to win and more of what they cannot do.
If they can't win this series, I guess blowing up the team is easier done than to reload.

[ozgod]

If you think about it, we shot 35% overall and 25% from 3 both games, yet led by 20 both games, yet end up losing when the Knicks take the lead with about 2 mins to go and we seem to have no way to get some clutch buckets. I tend to agree with Eddie House, sure we shot poorly but when you lead by 20 and lose not once but TWICE, you have to ask if the other team wants it more than you. They let Bridges go off for 14 points in the 4th quarter when he was 0-8 for 0 points the first 3, and we lose the 4th quarter by 30-17...last game we lost the 4th by 25-16.

Just unable to score during the clutch moments of the game.

[jpotter33]

Tatum should have done the same thing as last time and driven hard right at the start. Intead he waited.

Then he attacked. It was going well until he bobbled the ball. Then he lost his advantage and was going down a blind alley. It was always going to be an ugly shot attempt at that point. Well, it never got to a shot.

EVERYONE KNEW IT WOULD BE TATUM. RUN A PLAY FOR JRUE OR WHITE!!!

Lol do you know who our coach is? That would require him to use his brain in the middle of a game, which apparently is asking too much.

[0003323344]

75 missed 3 pointers in 2 games, 20 point leads in 2 games. You have to try really hard to lose back to back games like that. The minute they lose this series Loser Joe should be fired immediately.

Right there with you.
I?m actually somewhat relieved. It?s embarrassing what?s happening against an average Knicks team not even playing well but I know this team isn?t good enough to repeat and I?ve known it for a while?no expectations and I just don?t care anymore, anything they happen to do going forward will be a cherry on top, but it?s likely over in 4 or 5 and I?m officially ready for it
