NFT: Celtics at Knicks Game 3

PetesHereNow : 10/20/2018 7:24 pm
1-1 on the young season. Let's see how we handle one of the better teams in the East. No Hayward for them, I hear.

if the young guys will play like this all season even with the losing..

vonleh should start at the 4 until knox comes back, getting down 10 every game doesnt help


Agreed. No reason for Lance Thomas to start. Let Vonleh start at the 4.
Questionable calls always happen for every team.

It's nice to see this team play as hard as they are, but it's not the refs it's the talent gap.

All of the Knicks offensive threats are streaky and inconsistent. I was hoping that they had enough shooters on the team so that at least 2 would get hot per game, but that hasn't been the case in the two losses.

Kanter still looks lost against pick and rolls. Robinson was playing out of position and still looks hurt. Knox went down. They have too many specialists and not enough two way players.

Even so they played, arguably, the best team in the east to the last second. Based on expectations being that they would lose most of their games, I'm not sad about this outcome.
If we hit our free throws

We most likely win the game. We were close, competed hard. Things are moving in the right direction.

How so? It would've been a tied game. How do you know we would've won in OT?

Oh, sorry. I guess you meant in general (like the Vonleh and Trier misses). Yeah, very true. Can't leave points on the board like that.
and it is absolutely a talent gap

no one expected that game to be close, knicks are supposed to be losing every game..

only saw a few minutes of the game  
PaulBlakeTSU : 10/20/2018 10:36 pm : link
how was Frank -22 in 19 minutes? No other Knick had a +/- of more than 8
it is to bad kp is out  
nygiants16 : 10/20/2018 10:57 pm : link
i think if free agents saw him playing with this team and how hard they play, i think it would make the knicks way more appealing
I only caught bits and

pieces of this game. How did Trier look? I am not as knowledgeable as most of you guys on the Knicks but everything I have seen from him has been really good so far.

he considered knicks a free agent destination before committing to celtics because of kp, being from jersey and playing for fizdale

he has no fear when the ball is in his hands and not afraid to shoot, 1 of the few guys on the team that can create for himself..

sometimes he is tobe out of control ut with the scorer like that yiu take good with bad...

becoming a good spot up shooter will help when durant comes 😂
Whew!

X-rays negative on Knox’s ankle. Expected out 2-4 weeks.
Lakers and Rockets fighting all over the place.

Ingram flipped out for no reason.

Chris Paul and Rondo exchange punches.
Harden looks fat.

A little young for the Dad Bod.
After losing a close one to Brooklyn, I thought the Celts were going

to wipe the Knicks out and in the beginning of the game that looked like what was going to happen. But the team competed with the best and that's a great sign for a rebuilding team without it's best player. Coach Fiz has a good feel for what his players bring which makes him good at making the right adjustments mid game.

i thought lebron looks slow and not his normal explosive self, although very early still getting in game shape
THJR  
Vanzetti : 10/21/2018 1:55 pm : link
We all know his weaknesses but 28 PPG is 28 ppg, 11th in the league in scoring.

I think it is safe to say that this was a good signing. THJR will never be a complete player but Knicks gambled his improvement in his last year with the Hawks would continue and it did.

?? He was worse across the board last season vs. his breakout in AFL

PER 15.2 vs 14.4
Shooting% 46% vs.42
3 point % 36 vs. 32

Kyrie Irving's vow to re-sign with the Celtics next summer was a tremendous blow for Knicks fans.

They hoped the All-Star point guard would bolt from Boston to New York. With the choice to opt out of his deal in 2019, Irving admitted that he considered heading to the Big Apple following Saturday night's 103-101 win, but says he ultimately decided that the Celtics' talented roster was so promising that he couldn't envision himself leaving Boston.

“If you were in my position, I think it would be an easy decision for you as well," Irving told reporters, including Chris Forsberg of NBC Sports Boston. "Thinking about who we have and the future and what we’re set up for … Being from Jersey, had history there, but Boston, there’s nothing like it."
Trae Young with 35 points tonight.
