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!
I've seen analysis from ESPN, Gil's Arena, and others mentioning Celtics deficiencies and Knicks defensive prowess + Thibs use of his starters' minutesin the regular season benefiting the Knicks during the playoffs
