Knicks (33-19) at Celtics (34-18) Game #53 2/8/26

[ozgod]

We?re battling on the  defensive end at least, two defensive stops that we turned into transition opportunities that ended up being five points

[blink]

Baylor is such a heady player sometimes, really high BB IQ

[jpotter33]

There you go. Force some stops and get out and run in transition.

[Silas]

Baylor is having another nice game...

I do think it says something that he's Joe's default backup wing starter over Walsh and Hugo. He definitely seems more confident with the ball in his hands compared to the other two and has more playmaking ability.

Different skill set, but Baylor's is def off bbiq.  He drove to the cup in transition, knew he would draw the def, and then just found DW in the opposite corner.  Just good bb smarts.

Shame we don?t have X any more to play hack a Robinson

[jpotter33]

Brown forcing too much.

[ozgod]

They?re trapping Brunson as soon as he calls for that switch to get Q on him? they will live with a Diowara 3 rather than letting Brunson cook Neemi

[Silas]

Home baskets no help today....5-6 shots rimmed around the hoop then bounced out...bad luck.

[jpotter33]

Why did we take Brown out? That run coincided with him sitting and our offense having nowhere to go.

[ozgod]

Bridges made White look like a turnstile With his change of direction

[blink]

i wondered that too?  also why does Bridges play so well against us?  maybe we have Walsh guard him?  I dunno

[SCeltic34]

Lets go, gotta close the quarter strong.

[ozgod]

Given how atrocious we?re shooting compared to them (60% vs 42% overall, 42% vs 24% from 3) keeping it to a 10 point deficit is actually pretty good. But we quite simply have to shoot better in the second half.
