The Knicks should pick up my fucking bar tab

2 big lineup and the Knicks are finally getting some traction.

Dee, the only post ups we consistently ran for KAT was at the beginning of 2nd quarter in game 2 and Knicks got 6 in 3 plays. Not sure why you are disputing this.

Every loose ball to Celtics. Tis that kind of game.
NYKBocker @ 5/10/2025 5:55 PM
A lot of Celtic moving screens. We need to run through that

Have you watched KAT try to go 1 on 3 and get blocked like 5 times this quarter? Lol

I like the double big lineup though

At least he is attacking. Rest play hot potatoe.

Minny had good reason for adding Gobert when they had KAT.
jaydh @ 5/10/2025 5:58 PM
bring in the bench
NYStateOfMind @ 5/10/2025 5:59 PM
Down 23 with 3 mins left, all starters in.

A lot of money spent on the game today hoping of something special. There will be anger. Its a natural reaction.
NYStateOfMind @ 5/10/2025 6:00 PM
At least the Lakers are out. On to Game 4. Goodnight.

You can see the last few possessions with KAT driving into the paint, Knicks are getting good results. I'll take counting on Horford to make blocks at the rim. If Knicks started the game like this, we would have had a chance. Unless Thibs commits to starting Robinson with KAT, Celtics win the series and Thibs gets fired at the end of the season. We're not going to beat the Celtics on the perimeter.

Knicks offense so far this playoffs:
1 quarter= puke
2 quarter= puke
3 quarter= puke
4 quarter=A. Omg Brunson Burner
B. puke

We need the Celtics to miss open shots, otherwise there seems to be no way for us to win. Because when we enter the 4th down by about 3O points.....it's just sad

What the fuck did I just labor through

If Knicks were running this offense in the 1st quarter, KAT would be shooting 10+ free throws and all of the Celtics bags would be in foul trouble.
ramtour420 @ 5/10/2025 6:10 PM
Knicks played exactly like we did the first 2 games. Same exact way. The Celtics made shots and we cannot win if that continues to happen this series

From what I’m seeing online it seems they went into this game intent on NOT switching anything with Brunson or KAT, resulting in lots of KAT drops and Celtics just bombing early 3s with no resistance. First two games Brunson and KAT held their own on the switch. Brunson made huge defensive plays switched on Brown last game down the stretch. And KAT got into foul trouble today anyway. Mind boggling “adjustment” from Thibs today to change the only thing that was actually working in Knicks favor.
