1/17 - Knicks @ Celtics

[BigSoxFan]

I don’t like losing. So, let’s keep this going.

 

[chilidawg]

I love winning. Knacker the Knicks.

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

It's always ALWAYS good to beat a team from NY.

Let's do it today.

 

[bellowthecat]

The Knicks are an embarrassment to human civilization and thus losing to them would be unacceptable. Just freaking win.

 

[wade boggs chicken dinner]

Knock the Knicks.

 

[mikeot]

8-3, #1 in the East - and I was not alone in saying they'd hover around .500 early on.

Mea culpa -- kibosh on the Knickerbockers.

I had them at 10-10 to start the season. They will almost certainly have a much better record than that after 20 games and I will be glad to be wrong. Nuke NY.

[DannyDarwinism]

Awesome news. He’s been a great presence as a coach/hype man on the bench, but he must be psyched to get back out there.

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

Great sports day. Haven’t had one of these in what seems like ages.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Kembaaaaaaaaasaaa.

 

[mikeot]

Sloppy start.

 

[HowBoutDemSox]

Sloppy start.

1 pm start, having to show up for work 6 hours before your normal start time time is always gonna be tough.

 

[HowBoutDemSox]

Kemba looks like he's moving well.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Would be okay with me if they gave Jaylen the ball...

 

[luckiestman]

KW looks so much better than the playoffs, put him in a Cryo chamber until the second round of the playoffs.

 

[luckiestman]

Sloppy start.

Sunday afternoon games are often strange

 

[ifmanis5]

Typical 1pm basketball.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

This is ugly.

 

[FelixMantilla]

My god, NBA officiating.

 

[HowBoutDemSox]

Would be okay with me if they gave Jaylen the ball...

There it is.

 

[McBride11]

Put Payton on Payton. Teague seems a bit slow

 

[lovegtm]

Put Payton on Payton. Teague seems a bit slow

Never change, Brad.

 

[HowBoutDemSox]

Not a huge fan of the Teague iso 19 foot pullup.

 

[LesterFan]

How is that a foul on Teague?

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

I get that Robinson went down hard, but how is that a foul?

 

[HowBoutDemSox]

What was that foul for, getting fallen on?

 

[luckiestman]

What a strange foul. Dude jumps on Teague who is just standing there

 

[djbayko]

Teague ducks out of the way and gets called for a foul?

 

[HowBoutDemSox]

Give. Jaylen. The. Ball.

 

[ifmanis5]

Jaylen for 333333.

 

[scottyno]

Now that Harden is gone who's the next guy people are going to want to trade Brown for?

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

Wild that getting Jaylen Brown the ball results in points.

 

[HowBoutDemSox]

What a strange foul. Dude jumps on Teague who is just standing there

Remember when the Celtics got called for an offensive foul for stopping with a defender behind him? Now it's on the defender not to move out of the way.

 

[Imbricus]

Teague is not a good defensive player, unfortunately.

 

[djbayko]

Now that Harden is gone who's the next guy people are going to want to trade Brown for?

No one wants to trade this Jaylen Brown.

 

[DannyDarwinism]

Now that Harden is gone who's the next guy people are going to want to trade Brown for?

Did anyone on this board want to trade Jaylen for Harden?

 

[Scoops Bolling]

Give Brown the ball every possession. He's making everything happen.

 

[ifmanis5]

Jaylen is a beast today.

 

[osori]

Teague is just bad.

 

[The Mort Report]

are the Knicks compromised of all the "failed" lottery picks?

 

[DannyDarwinism]

Oh shit! Theis!

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Teague :/

 

[BigSoxFan]

Offensive rebounds a problem again

 

[HowBoutDemSox]

I would have thought a healthy Kemba means less Teague, but here we are.

 

[DannyDarwinism]

are the Knicks compromised of all the "failed" lottery picks?

Lol, pretty much.

 

[Imbricus]

Ugh. Teague looks like crap today.
