Knicks getting no respect from Vegas  
Eightshamrocks : 2/24/2024 8:43 am : link
+7 at home. Makes me suspicious that the refs are going to call this game in Boston's favor, in an effort to cover the spread. That Houston game from weeka ago opened my eyes to how shady the NBA refs are loooking these days.

No randle, no og. Can we compete? Sure. But Boston is the best team in the league. Gonna be tough.
Sign Pokusevski!

If Randle and OG were playing id agree with you, but Boston also has the best road record in the NBA
Is it just me  
BigBlueShock : 2/24/2024 9:26 am : link
Or has Boston been unbelievably healthy all season? Injuries suck but I wouldn’t mind for them to have to start going through a bit of adversity at some point…
+7 sounds generous considering three starters including an all star  
Ira : 2/24/2024 10:00 am : link
are still out with injuries.
we crushed the Sixers  
AROCK1000 : 2/24/2024 10:03 am : link
who then beat the Cavs ....anything to read into that?
Considering Scott Foster is CC  
Mike in NY : 2/24/2024 10:06 am : link
I would bet the Celtics

Sure, the Sixers were less Embid and the Cavs less Mitchell. The Celtics are healthy

They have been able to kind of rotate sitting guys and Tatum and zbrown have both been very healthy

Cavs are a lottery team without Mitchell
Yeah the Celtics have had way better health than the other legit  
Stu11 : 2/24/2024 11:06 am : link
Contenders in the East. The Cavs, Us and Sixers have been eaten alive by missed man games. They are trying desperately to keep Porzi upright for the playoffs. They've sat him a ton, and he almost never plays a back to back. Will be interesting to see if their luck catches up to them at the worst time. I still think they're the top team in the conference, however if we have Randle, Brunson, OG and our Centers upright for the playoffs I don't fear playing them and I don't care if it's the 2nd Rd.
The Celtics size is rough  
larryflower37 : 2/24/2024 2:37 pm : link
For the team Knicks have right now.
Sixers had to double Brunson, Celtics will play Brunson straight up and sure he can get his but Celtics can defend the other 4 almost to lockdown.
None of this matters until we are healthy win or lose.
Knicks prob need 125  
fanoftheteam : 2/24/2024 2:41 pm : link
To win tn.

I can see Sims getting abused
a loss tonight is fine  
ElitoCanton : 2/24/2024 2:43 pm : link
just win the games after tonight. We can beat Boston when completely healthy. But not this shorthanded.
To win tonight  
nygiants16 : 2/24/2024 3:52 pm : link
your going to need a big DDV shooting night from 3...

Precious and the other bigs need to dominate on the glass..

Burks and Bojan need to have a good scoring night off the bench, win those minutes..

and of course elite Brunson
I hope they win, but I can’t make too much of this  
shockeyisthebest8056 : 2/24/2024 8:13 pm : link
game considering the injuries.
Woj on injuries  
nygiants16 : 2/24/2024 8:16 pm : link
Randle: His inclination is to play even with some discomfort..

OG: Is on schedule and is set to be reevaluated by end of week
One day the NBA will start

Of course she found the phantom foul on the Tatum missed dunk. I’m still searching for it.

Even if it was a foul you can’t blow the whistle while the other team is almost halfway down the court
Going to need this kinda shooting

D has to tighten up  
Stu11 : 2/24/2024 9:05 pm : link
The Celts are getting way too many easy shots.
It's been so frustrating watching this  
larryflower37 : 2/24/2024 9:13 pm : link
Team knowing what this team could be healthy especially after the deadline moves
Man how many 2 footers are we gonna give them?

It’s really testing my patience. Meanwhile Boston doesn’t have a soul on the injury report - not a scratch on them nearly 60 games in.
Deuce is different this year

That was a confident 3 pt make.

Worth 4m/yr.

Well it helps when the Knicks body him up he looks at thw ref and they give him the call
Games winnable

If the Knicks defense can just second half
Brown crying to the officials again  
nygiants16 : 2/24/2024 9:36 pm : link
because he got bodied by DDV
Love how this team is bringing it against the best  
Larry in Pencilvania : 2/24/2024 9:41 pm : link
When the front court is healthy and ready everyone including the Celtics should be afraid

Huh? He's shot 1 free throw. This is the Indiana game redux from a few weeks ago. They're getting any shot they want. OG will make a huge difference on D but we have tto do a better job making it a little more difficult for them. Maybe more of Deuce in Brown in the 2nd half.
Hopefully Hart  
ajr2456 : 2/24/2024 9:54 pm : link
Has found his 3 pt shot

I don’t understand how she has held the job as long as she has, she’s awful
Precious as played well  
nygiants16 : 2/24/2024 10:00 pm : link
but thia may be a game where we need more Bojan at the 4 to spread the floor a little bit
Jesus christ making a fucking sub Thibs  
nygiants16 : 2/24/2024 10:07 pm : link
you have zero spacing on offense, enough of the two bigs, its not working...
Fucking hate the Celtics and KP so much  
Anakim : 2/24/2024 10:07 pm : link
Meanwhile, these assholes can’t miss a 3



We need Bojan to come in and get hot
Celtics shooting a cool 69% from the field.  
bceagle05 : 2/24/2024 10:08 pm : link
.
Thibs is a jackass sometimes  
nygiants16 : 2/24/2024 10:11 pm : link
there is no spacing so his first sub is Jericho sims
I mean they shot 65% in the first half  
Stu11 : 2/24/2024 10:11 pm : link
And somehow came out and improved on it in the 3rd qtr. To be fair the Knicks picked up their D but this is impossible. They can't miss.
So glad Jericho Sims was the first sub  
nygiants16 : 2/24/2024 10:15 pm : link
..
This is the type of coaching  
nygiants16 : 2/24/2024 10:17 pm : link
that will get Thibs fired and the Knicks an early exit, absolutely zero change to his gameplan, jist watxh the offense grind to a fucking halt because he refuses to go away from the 2 bigs

The offense is fine. The Celtics missed 3 shots the whole qtr.
Burks has been fucking horrendous  
bceagle05 : 2/24/2024 10:29 pm : link
since the trade.
Brunson and Hart are gassed  
nygiants16 : 2/24/2024 10:30 pm : link
great substitution pattern Thibs...

You Know Deuce played pretty well in the 1st half
