Well, it happened!
The Nova internet fans and the Nova writers/announcer got Donte into the Knicks Starter lineup criticizing Grimes the past 4 to 5 weeks.
End of First Quarters .. Knicks 32 - Celtics 33

Half Time .. Knicks 65 - Celtics 74

Barrett defending KP is not working, KP have 19 pts on 7-8 FG
And Randle defending Tatum aint working either, Tatum have 12 pts, 5 rb, 4 ast, and no turnovers.

Grimes tandem with Quickley in the backcourt in the 2nd unit lineup have 8 pts on 3-5 FG in 9 minutes.
Donte only got 2 shots in the first half replacing Grimes in the starter lineup.

End of 3rd Quarter .. Knicks 95 - Celtics 109

The Celtics built a 20 pt lead in the 3rd, the Knicks 2nd unit was chopping the lead down .. Hartenstein on the defensive boards not giving Celtics a 2nd chance shot, plus the ball movement lead to a couple of 3's but not enough .....
We need a 4th quarter plan to get back into the game .....

Knicks have 3 home games in DEC. Two of them are back to back games vs MIL on 12/23 & 12/25.

Brunson hurts ankle stepping on somebody’s foot with 20 seconds left in the game. Down double digits, maybe not the brightest coaching decision to have your best player still in the game.

Wow wow wow .. 21 seconds remaining in the game Celtics have a 12 pt lead and Brunson get injured by twisting ankle. Hoping this is Thibs final season coaching in NY.
The Knicks 2nd unit got the Celtics lead down to 7 pts .. 5 minutes remain in game, Brunson got the ball dribble-dribble around KP defending Brunson, KP looking to get a block-shot off of Brunson, and Brunson shoots up a brick from the perimeter over KP, which lands into a Celtics player hands. Brunson could've of pass the ball to two of his teammates inside to bring the lead down to 5 pts.
P.S. The final 5 minutes of the game showed lot's of Brunson's weak areas and flawed performance all the way to twisting his ankle 21 seconds left in the game.
