We got to to take one series at a time bro. Once game at a time.

So I won’t speculate cause we still got to be these Boston motherfukkers two more times.

He looks like he is in construction or sanitation. Is this cause he plans to keep bricking shots? Will his game be trash today?

This is why analytics is sports suck. So many things are going on in a series or a game, but you try to quantify reality based on odds based on this idea that wins and losses are the only metric to judge players or teams and then you come off making reports about the Knicks being up 2-0 on the Celtics. Those close games happened because people played that way.

Back in the day they would be talking about the actual games and why the Celtics collapsed or how the Knicks came back. Instead we get a segment full of stats about a game people are playing compared to random cards dealt in poker. The only time they do get into the players they mention clutch and showing a picture of Brunson because they realized they might have discovered a legitimate award to have fans argue about.

These damn stat nerds are making sports fukking corny

"Back in the day they would be talking about the actual games and why the Celtics collapsed or how the Knicks came back."

They actually did that with Alan Hahn, and Tim Legler going into the detail of the film without analytics.

It's 2025...
There's going to be full segments on the actual game/players/team/coaching/strategy/analytics. It's not one or the other.

'Cuse, New York
My uncle has been a Knicks fan since the '70s, and he's ecstatic that they were able to win two straight in Boston; today he thinks it's a must-win game, or at the very least, New York has to get one at the Garden to really bring Boston on their heels.

I agree with him; if the Celtics somehow win these two games in New York, then I don't know if the Knicks could get it done in a best-of-3 situation, because the pressure will build up, in the event there's a game 5, they gotta leave New York up 3-1 not tied at 2-2.

Yeah but it was a bit basic at least for Hahn’s I didn’t see legler, but he was saying. They should drive more and I am like if you watch the game. You see that the ball pressure in the paint was crazy And low-key none of them have the handle to deal with that. There are three guys with 7+ wingspan on the Knicks.

Like this whole series is an indictment of Tatum and Brown’s handle. Flipside on the other side of the court the Knicks are taking the midrange shots the Celtics are giving them and running plays to lessen the defenders that can pressure the ball handler because both Bridges and Brunson have that handle.

Also these collapses are also conditioning. The Knicks are in better shape than the Celtics who maybe been playing too long if you look at the fact a bunch of them played in the Olympics.

Like it’s easy for the media to say the Celtics should play better. However the reason they choked was the Knicks were strangling them!
