I don’t really understand hack a Mitch when they aren’t in the penalty. Is putting OG back in such a downgrade from Mitch that it’s worth being in the penalty to force the Knicks to take Mitch off the floor?

Coaching on both sides has been brutal.

Mitch has been phenomenal, and Brunson’s been clutch late—but he’s got to move the ball when the defense collapses on him. Can’t let the offense stall when he gets hot.

The real difference in this series? Tatum. He freezes up and consistently makes bad decisions. He could’ve won both games but couldn’t close.

The resilience of this team is special. We’ve got to keep punishing them in the post.

Way to pull these out for the boys. Amazing

Bench players usually play better at home. So I hope the bench will get a little more PT. For the long haul.

Robinson's impact on this series has been huge.

I did not understand it either. If Knicks are not in penalty, why foul Mitch away from the ball. Smh. One of many mistakes Boston made. I guess they were hoping Thibs would take Mitch out because Mitch was killing them, but Thibs understood the situation.

I think they wanted Mitch out of the game...Boston felt his presence

I honestly think they don't like Mazzula. Tatum got injured a few weeks ago and Mazzula's response waa "Get up!" I think the team misses Udoka.
