apparently, Obi and Rick Brunson got into heated argument in PHI

Probably because Obi Toppin want to FREE D.Rose ..
D.Rose Leadership has been the Knicks #1 winning Closer !!!

Randle & Barrett's 4th quarter performance has not lived-up to their extension !!!

Cam started the game, when I want Cam vs Tatum in the 4th qtr. but ....
Game just started 15-5 Boston .. the Knicks better do something better on the offensive end then one pass shoot .. Barrett missing easy layup ain' t helping

Thats a shame every Knicks get a open look from the 3-ball line except Fournier, and Thibs has done nothing to get Fournier open looks, plus all Knicks opponents plays Fournier tight on the perimeter .. Tatum defending Fournier .. Thibs dont have a clue how to play Fournier SMH

Some guy named Sam Howser already has 14 points? not even midway through second Q. Boston already has drained 11 threes. I?m predicting a 20 point loss.

Knicks are a disaster so far on defense. Tonight a fully healthy Cs team and they're getting whatever they want

RJ and the starters bring them back (bench got worked over)?. What a run. Almost had 1 point lead going into halftime but BOS scored off a off rebound.

Celtics 13-27 from downtown.

The Knicks Half-Time closing lineup of Hart Randle Cam Barrett and Brunson came up with some dynamic hustling on both sides of the court that surprise the Celtics .. 67-66 Boston at Half-Time

Brunson is playing like a WINNING PG .... But we have to FREE D.Rose leadership to get Fournier some open looks on the 3-ball line .. Because Cam Reddish performance belong in the Knicks starter lineup.

Naturally, BOS defense giving a long leash for a lot of physical contact. About 10 fouls not called on the NYK home court.

BOS 21-41
NYK 10-22

3-point shooting through 3 quarters. Shooting so good even a fan in a Starks jersey swished a half court shot for the $$$.

101-96 Celtics.

End of 3rd Quarter .. Knicks 96 - Celtics 101

Knicks playing good ball but poor perimeter defense .. Boston getting WIDE-OPEN looks from 3's

Knicks dominating paint scoring 52-26. But BOS has made 24 threes (24-46 shooting). Thibbs just doesn?t understand math. Threes beat layups.

RJ leaves Tatum to get Rebound but Brown doesn?t shoot it. Pass back to Tatum who is wide open. Swish. BOS sera franchise records for made 3s. RJ has done a good job keeping Tatum in check tho. But you?re never winning a game when opponent drains nearly 30 threes. Tank alive and well! Come one!!!

BOS benched ran NYK bench off the court. Obi didn?t score until the 4th. Bad game from reserves and not guarding 3-point line is why they lost.

Good news! Young kids playing well and Ls are piling up. Dream of a top 5 pick is alive and well. This team just doesn?t have shooting or perimeter defense to beat the top 10-15 teams. They?ll feast on the bottom 10 And win the occasional upset when opponent without a star

But this is clearly a 25-35 win season. No reason to be invested or upset.
