Knicks (3-1) at Celtics (1-3) Round 2 Game 5 5/14/25

I don't think Porzingis deserves any criticism. He is clearly not healthy. He shouldn't be out there. He is doing his level best but that best isn't good enough.

The fault lies not with the player but with the coach who keeps playing him despite Porzingis clearly not being well enough to be out there.

This Brogdon in the ECF all over again.

Yup, just stubborn...

but but but he is a great coach! 

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

can we just win this then lose in NY?

the fact we gave 2 games away maybe 3 makes me sick

we should be up 3-1.

we always beat ourselves and dig deep holes.

Brown, White and a little PP. the rest of the team has been terrible. Okay, Kornet wasn?t bad.
Really need some help. I?d be okay with trying someone else off the bench.

[Atzar]

JB is playing his ass off, and White is shooting well as the #2 as long as he's not asked to be the lead dog.  Gonna need something from Pritchard or Jrue in the second half.  Can't just be two guys trying to carrying the whole team. 

Unfortunately KP just doesn't have it.  I'd be kinda tempted to try Scheierman to see if he can catch a spark for five minutes.  He doesn't fix our issue inside, but he'll hustle his ass off and he's less passive on offense than Craig.

I really dont understand what happened to KP. I dont care what sickness he has, thats no excuse to not grab rebounds or get easy blocks on guards at the rim when you are 7ft3. That last rebound was literally right in his face and he didnt even attempt to grab it.

And shame on Joe Schmoe continuing to go with him when he is a complete liability out there. This series has been an exhibition of coaching malpractice and its disgusting

Jaylen Brown had a beautiful wrap around pass to Kornet midway through Q1.

Only bench guy to play in double digit minutes is PP... Kornet has 3 rbs and 4 pts in 7 minutes, KP with 1 pt and 1 rb in 11 minutes Kornet also has a stl a Blk an 1 ast while KP has 1 blk... Everybody else glued to the bench. I wonder if they are even dressed under those warm ups...

It's his biggest issue. Just way too dogmatic and stuck in his ways and refuses to make adjustments or go with options that he's not comfortable with, despite how clearly indicated they are.

KP leading the team the wrong way   -12.

It really is. Joe just digging his heels in again...

[Banner18now!]

Just find a way to win this game. Don?t want the obnoxious Knicks fans celebrating in the garden.

[celticinorlando]

Is this the last half we see Al, KP and Jrue in a Cs uniform?

[liam]

KP leading the team the wrong way   -12.

In only 11 minutes... Luke a +3 in 7 minutes...

I'm pretty certain all of NY's runs and positive momentum (such as building 4+ leads) has all happened when KP is on the court. When he's not that's when we've gone on runs and gotten small leads
