This loss pain me to the bone I no go lie because I swear I saw it coming. Everytime this Meerkat that’s forcing desperation 3s we are going to lose. Rather than settle the guys down and he decides to double down with the spamming as the Knicks smoked us in the half court.

A40:
Hehehe. I've been vindicated.

How long have I been preaching anti 3pt spamming like a seminarian

The fool had us freaking kicking out on an interior pass inside the paint! The hell!!!!

The Knicks were extremely methodical in their half court. They got what they were looking for but the Meerkat couldn’t make a single defensive adjustment with the Pick and Roll. I swear this guys makes me really 😡 😡

This is what irritates me with the Meerkat. How the hell do you attempt that amount of 3ball. The Knicks were looking for the Brunson/ Horford match up and they got it every time with the switch and he got smoked but this man refused to do something different. We were extremely poor defensively in the 3rd and 4th.

Man I am so mad right now it’s not even a joke! I have seen this so many times that it was annoying to watch the come back.

Tatum that should be the star of the team is the main culprit. Everyone just kept shooting 3s even when it's evident it's not falling.

Tatum lacks the ability to do things differently and that is why JB can win MVP in the finals. It is his biggest holdback!

MPJ don dey stink everywhere

Porter can't pass, can't collect pass, can't shoot either, what exactly is he doing in this game? Coach should've sent him to he bench.

Serious home cooking for the Thunder. Any small contact is a foul.

Never been a fan of spamming 3s'…..

Once again, A. Gordon with the clutch game winning bucket to steal home court.

Chai.....

3pt and inshallah

Are you following the NHL playoffs. That was an insane game between the Jets and Blues and then Rantanen vs the Avs singlehandedly sent his former teammates packing

When I tuned into that OKC match, they were like 10 points up at 4 mins left to play.
I went back to bed thinking they would likely win. Only to wake up to a Nuggets win..

Same here.

I like the loss for both Celtic and OKC.

Gives me the opportunity to go hard on them both in game 2.

CASH

This Jalen Williams is slowly becoming a playoff underperformed.

5/20 as a second option? OKC have to look at him critically as a second option, I'm always wary of players that their regular season and playoff performance have huge variance. No matter their age. Sometimes it's good to know very early that if it didn't dey it didn't dey and move quickly.

Anyway game 2 will clarify if it's just a one off but the Mavs series last year was another instance

This guy gave yall a ring, after yall threatened him all season last year. Make una fear God, put respect on his name.

that being said, this knicks team is exactly who the celtics need to beat to prove they can do more than spam the 3 ball. That they can grind in the half court, no one in the league is convinced yet

antoine walker would have loved this team

It is exactly why you have a head coach to help the team change tactics, manage tempos and changes in flows.

True but he does drive to the rim alot.

No doubt. But that statement is open ended, because he could either be referring to Tatum, or the coach. I dont think public finger pointing is what they need at this point. Because both Tatum and Jaylen at the end of the day werent stellar with their 3pt shots

O yes for sure. That game 7 between Dallas and Avalanche was compelling.

The Pacers take game 2 to go 2-0 up. What a clutch shot by Halliburton

Up by 7 with 50 seconds to go and Cavs still find a way to lose.

Every single one of the Cavs team including the coaching crew deserve maximum beating.

Omo. Steph....
Not now

We'd have beaten this minnesota team easily...

The Cavs underrated the Pacers, especially with their decision to rest Mobley (hurt ankle) and Hunter (dislocated thumb) in a playoff game at home is questionable for me. Garland’s I can understand but we’re all 3, especially Mobley and Hunter so bad neither could give it a go? They are going to Indiana and that is a difficult place to get 2 wins.

Road teams are not joking this year sha!

Even Mitchell was hurt in that game but that's not the reason they lost. Bad game execution during the last 50 seconds. Pacers scored with 3 possession within 50 seconds with no fouling.

Horrible from the Cavs.

Exactly.

Some coaches and players have been executing poorly in late game situations recently. The OKC vs Nuggets game is a good example.
