Re: Rob. are you concerned?
IDK if he is, but I am.
This is really discouraging.
You can cope with the idea that they are only losing by a little in the face of god-awful F-level shooting, but that's cold comfort in a short series (more valid in the regular season).
This shit is why I say Tatum is not a Tier-1 superstar. I actually don't think he's even close to that mark. He DID do a bunch of "other" things that were positive, but at some point you need to shoot and score efficiently.

LOL. So, the Celtics are playing something close to a real team and losing. Thinking, last year was a fluke.Bush4Ever. wrote: ↑Wed May 07, 2025 9:27 pm IDK if he is, but I am.

Re: Rob. are you concerned?
Blowing two 20 point leads at home is inexcusable. And tonight, it's not like Brunson went hero or something.

Re: Rob. are you concerned?
This year's team is not on the level of last. Stop being dumb. They play all teams all year, won 64 games with a net rating of +11.6 and were barely touched in the playoffs. You don't do that without being exceptional.
The Knicks are not meaningfully different than what they played last year.
Nothing overcomes F-level shooting. They've gotten good looks. They just haven't cashed in.

C's in 5....6 at worst.
They can't afford those types of games against Cleveland, though.

Re: Rob. are you concerned?
The Knicks have now played 6 straight playoff games where it came down to the final possession (5-1). They are clearly comfortable in that situation.

Concerned, maybe. Disgusted, absolutely.

The whole team is cold as ice….and it has nothing to do with the Knicks. They’re missing open shots, layups, everything. I’ve never seen this entire team go stone cold for the durations they have the first two games.
They’re still the better team by a country mile.

Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are dumber than that.
