12/8 Knick the Knicks

[Helmet Head]

Scal surprised it’s this close with how well the celts are playing.

well, scal, they make no effort on one side of the ball. Maybe talk about that.

 

[Imbricus]

Eh I wouldn't challenge that one.

Yeah. JFC.

Scal is getting pretty bad. Too self important.

 

[mikeford]

Scal is absolutely awful and basically always has been. Yeah, I'm comparing it to Heinsohn who was a god but still. You could be Maxwell and you're shit.

 

[Manzivino]

Seems like the Cs are overhelping a lot and the Knicks are swinging the ball around to open shooters. Not sure why with so many plus on-ball defenders they don’t just play let them play D 1-on-1.

 

[Pablo's TB Lover]

I'm sorry but if you stay inside the 3-point line on a 3-point attempt, you shouldn't have a foul called on you unless it is upper body contact.

 

[The Mort Report]

If that's a foul Tatum should be at the line every time he drives

 

[128]

Where was the foul on Tatum?

 

[ifmanis5]

Trash call.

 

[McBride11]

Foul on Tatum. Being nearby

 

[Just a bit outside]

Mitchell pushes Zinger, foul in Tatum!

 

[128]

C's aren't getting much of a whistle.

 

[Pablo's TB Lover]

Knicks are just going to march to the FT in a road game, aren't they.

 

[McBride11]

I appreciate Scal is trying to be more even, this is good, but goodness I miss Tommy

 

[JCizzle]

I hate getting invested in this stupid fun fucking sport where officials have such an outsized influence.

 

[benhogan]

The Celtics are owed a bunch of calls in the 2nd half

NBA refs usually even this shit out

 

[SteveF]

Porzingis has 17 points on 6 shots.

Nothing will ever top Tommy. One of one. I still go back to rewatch clips from time to time - same with Orsillo. Teams underestimate how much that relationship with a fan matters.

 

[ifmanis5]

17-7 FT advantage for NY on the road.

 

[JCizzle]

 

[The Mort Report]

Please don't die on an untouched breakaway JT

 

[McBride11]

Why is that Jt not landing space but DW is?

i think both are neither just weird difference

 

[djbayko]

Beautiful Pass

 

[OnWisc]

The Garden in-season tournament floor should have been a Heinsohn coaching era blazer plaid.

 

[ifmanis5]

Great pass.

 

[McBride11]

Miss him so much

 

[Just a bit outside]

Tatum taking over.

 

[128]

Knicks need to cool off so we can build a lead to blow in the third.

Be careful what you wish for, right?

 

[ifmanis5]

High scoring.

 

[Auger34]

Nice defense by Jaylen at the end of the half there

 

[SteveF]

Still can't hit a pullup 3, but at least his pullups are in high PnR against drop coverage.

 

[Pablo's TB Lover]

Ok let's get a few more stops in the 2nd half to not make the offense score 74 points again, deal?

 

[Ed Hillel]

The NBA nearly just lost one of its biggest stars for the year because its despotic refs have been lusting for Ts for “hanging on the rim.” Tatum released early there, and it was nearly disaster. Sure looked it.

Yeah, that was close to being a disaster.
Adam Silver prefers despots so...

 

[OnTheBlack]

He was such a gem

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

I miss Tommy so much.

 

[OnWisc]

I knew we wouldn’t wander too far off script. It’s like these games are produced by Stephen J. Cannell. The third quarter faceplant is as predictable as the the A-Team building some crazy contraption in the final quarter of the episode. Just replace the shot of BA using a blowtorch with turnovers on three straight possessions.

 

[mikeford]

Alright 74 points in a half is a pretty good pace but maybe lets play defense in the 2nd half also

 

[ifmanis5]

Let's have a good 3rd qtr for a change.

 

[gammoseditor]

For some reason I thought Donaghy was the ref for this one but they mention two refs that aren’t him and I found the box score. He wasn’t the third ref. I think there is another famous Tommy blow up when Donaghy was the ref.

[128]

Or maybe the Jays can take turns taking—and missing—3-pointers.

 

[benhogan]

Great pass by JB to KP there

 

[128]

Jesus, what was that pass by Jaylen?

 

[OnWisc]

Come on, Jaylen.

 

[OnWisc]

Great pass by JB to KP there

Quickly made an offsetting entry in that ledger.

 

[benhogan]

Great pass by JB to KP there

and then the very next play Brown has a complete brain freeze

 

[mikeford]

Jaylen Brown might not be the dumbest player I've ever seen in Celtic green but he's fuckin up there

 

[benhogan]

Quickly made an offsetting entry in that ledger.

+1

 

[OnWisc]

I love Derrick White. That trade is so much bigger than it seemed at the time.
