NY Knickerbockers

Yea, couple of very interesting games. Have to give them a lot of credit for their gritty play. If the Knicks were stronger inside, they’d be a real threat in the playoffs. Love watching the ex Nova guys….too bad DiVincenzo went to Minnesota. Brunson is special..he’s, however, playing hurt.
The Celtics offensive play these 2 games has been extremely poor. They miss Porzingis playing more minutes too.

Good job by the Knicks coming back although the Celtics really helped them out by not being able to make a shot, any shot, the latter part of that game, whether contested or wide open shots.
In any case, the Celtics choke job yesterday doesn’t compare to how bad the Cavs blew their game against the Pacers the night before.
Cavs and Celtics both in a big hole going 0-2 on their home court to start those series.
Boston, in two games, has attempted 100 3-pters. They have made 25 of them.
The Celtics 4th quarter collapses are amazing from a championship pedigree team
But - man Brunson is so clutch
i jumped on the knicks bandwagon back in the very late 80's with pitino but stuck around in early 90s when they played rough and tough in an era when teams were scoring 125 points per game..
loved ewing, starks, mark jackson, that alien looking dude (Forget his name), when they got oakley was awesome, X man for a year, CHarles smith a bit later into it, even LJ later. just absolutely loved those teams but damned if they didnt always fall short to not only MJ but the pacers..
i jumped off the bandwagon when those guys retired and guys like sprewell and houston came in and were tough to root for. i may have to jump back on the bandwagon..
Hate seeing Tatum get hurt but love NY beating Boston.
Brunson is awesome. One of the most clutch players in the NBA. Thibs doesn't care to run 6 guys 40mpg for 8 months. It's working. Somehow. Hope they make the finals.

My two favorites in this series are SGA with OKC and Brunson with NY … arguably Brunson has been the most clutch player in the playoffs so far. Crazy good play.
OKC though young looks like the most complete team to me… just incredible on defense and money on transition after turnovers

The pacers seem to keep having secondary played (Nesmity Game 1, Siakam game 2) really stepping up .
I really like. Brunson - but he’s not getting the help, aside from KAT.
Pacers are on the top of their game, playing the same as they did against the Cavs, getting good contributions and clutch play from a very deep bench along with the starting 5. Also the same as the Cavs series, they have the edge in hustle.
The Thunder have been the team to beat entering the playoffs but the way the Pacers have been playing, they can give them a run for their money.
