@KFCBarstool He's half right. He's wrong because the Knicks were beating the Celtics w/ Tatum. He's right because the Knicks are complete trash. The Celtics coaching philosophy was completely exposed & the team suffered because of it. The Knicks beat a more talented team with an idiot coach.
@TonyREast Unless both buses crash into each other on their way to the area. People everywhere rejoice from having to watch those trash bag teams in the ECF
@jjosedapp@balldontstop Agreed, the Celtics should've won them. But the Celtics didn't play a full 48 minutes and played stupid. I put that on the coach.
@SamskiNYC Yes, the Knicks are up 3-2. However, if the Celtics didn't play with their food the first 2 games & completely lose their minds, the series is over. Celtics dominated the Knicks. What's the biggest lead the Knicks had in the series? Celtics led by at least 20 in 4 out of 5 games
@SamskiNYC No, they are a crapbag team. Absolute trash. I'll give you Brunson. He's a cute little player, plucky and shifty but he's not a special player. But if he's the best player on the team, then team has no business being in a conference final.
@danield1214 That's what I've been saying. If they didn't play with their food, the Celtics would be up 3-0 going into game 4. This would've been the Knicks pride game to avoid being swept at home.
@BillSimmons They got killed on the offensive glass. As well as Tatum played defensively, he settled for waaaaaay too many 3s in the third quarter. I hate the Celtics play.
@PeterWysocki@SportsCenter The Knicks B-L-O-W. I'm not giving credit to the Knicks for anything. It's simply a choke job by the Celtics. Awful coaching (game plan) leads to uncertainty when the game plan isn't working. The Knicks are inferior in every way possible except for coaching. Which matters most
@tha_kid_christ@johnny_rosado@SportsCenter@ESPNNewYork Playing the analytics game of if a player shoots 40% from 3, misses his first 10 attempts but will make the next 8 of 10 is just dumb thinking by the Celtics. Shooting doesn't level out simply by attempts. There's a lot of factors that the nerds don't take into account.
@tha_kid_christ@johnny_rosado@SportsCenter@ESPNNewYork Keep thinking that. Bad shooting stretches happen. The lack of awareness from the players is amazing. It's a shame because they have the best talent in the league. Tatum shot under 35% this season from 3. Combine last year's playoffs and this year's he is shooting 29.3%.
