At the end of his postgame he mentioned guys knowing where to get Bojan the ball now. I’m proud of Thibs trying to adapt and not going 2 big lineup with Josh Hart.

It's funny how this guy actually finds a reason to live from how Thibs coaches defense. Are we sure Thibs never had any kids? Did he donate at a sperm bank during college to make extra cash?

It's so annoying how some, er TNT crew, tried to discredit this win because Boston had nothing to play for. SO **** WHAT! THEY PUT ON THEIR JERSEY'S AND PLAYED! And we curb stomped them and made them tap out! A win is a win. And Brunson is proving to be the best player in the East.

This is the difference between the two teams. They have no heart. The Knicks are not gonna dress their starters to have them play at half speed no matter what the situation is. This mentality has us fighting for the 2 seed after losing half the team for several weeks. All grit and no quit.

Boston thinks they can just turn it on and off when they want to? They haven't proven anything yet but, they are talking a little too much.

Yes, the Celtics didn't have anything to play for and their energy reflected that but when the Knicks are starting to pull away you can see their intensity reflexively ramp up because they are a prideful team, they are a winning team, they don't want to lose.

A slight lead, sure...double digits, ok, still not anything to wonder about but be up 30 points after 3 quarters and even if it's a game they have 'nothing' to play for they surely don't want to be down by that much. I wasn't too keen on giving them a playoff preview to strategize around but it is what it is.

With little to nothing to play for feels like weeks they were 14-3 in the last month. They have been on cruise control for a better part of the month and still whipping teams so while we can't take much from this game what we can take is if these teams meet in the playoffs it shouldn't be a lopsided affair.

Boston has more bullets in the gun. I don't wanna see them until the ECF if at all. Teams don't want to play us either though. Too bad we lost Randle. When the injuries piled up we were the BEST team in the East the way we were playing.
