The rebounding is what worries me about Knicks and Minnesota, potentially. Celtics just aren't that good a rebounding team, and if you give 3 chances the Knicks will get points.

Always been a Hart fan - a shame Celtics didn't get him last year, but they were focused on other things (and didn't really have space/money)

Celtics dominated (minus rebounding) and they’re only up 4.

This should have been a 15 point lead…

Come playoff time I really hope they have at least figured out how to not give up an extra shot at the end of a quarter when they have the ball and there are 24 seconds or less on the shot clock. Don’t even care if they throw up a brick, just don’t give up free fucking shots for no reason.

Losing the math problem - both teams shooting 43% from 3, but knicks have gotten up 7 more threes, and 4 more shots in total, thanks to their four more offensive rebounds.

oh, and the three free points from techs...

Meh. C’s a bit disjointed and JT only has 7, Knicks with 9 made 3’s and yet the C’s are up at the half. They will be fine.
JB has had some lapses but he’s also the one doing most of the scoring thus far.
Curious if they’ll try Springer on Brunson for a brief spell in the second half

This Knicks team is a problem. Just one star, but it’s very well constructed and deep. They add a max and watch out.

Knicks get 2.7 more FGAs and 3.2 more FTAs than their opponents per 100.

Really love seeing JB consistently pulling out that fadeaway from his bag lately. Going to be a very useful weapon in the playoffs

I can’t fathom any circumstance where I would willingly put myself in position to hear Stephen A. comment on, well, anything.

Stephen A’s entire schtick is being utterly unbearable. I’d rather listen to Norman from Fireman Sam share his thoughts on the game.
Yet ESPN finds him so compelling that he's on every freakin show they have. Absolutely unwatchable.

Yeah, I don't think the C's match up especially well with New York.

That push Brunson just did was an offensive foul on Tatum in the first..

Lol, if Brunson is allowed those charge calls, he should guard Giannis and Embiid. Neither of them would make it to the 2nd quarter.

Brunson may be the biggest diver on the league at this point—-I’m impressed by his growth there

Celts are basically playing almost perfect on offense.. only reason Knicks are close is because of the foul calls.

I'm a big KP fan, but I'll admit his rebounding is confusingly bad.

Horrible instincts, the ball can be 3 inches from him and yet somehow he doesn't grab it.

Wild how rosy the play by play guys are about the Celtics. Tatum and Brown as both “elite wing defenders.” “Amazing how they’ve both improved since they came in the league.” Porzingis : “Tops in the league at efficiency in the post, and shoots 27 foot jumpers. If that’s not a unicorn I don’t know what is…!”

They ain’t wrong.

EDIT: Mike Breen and JJ
