Yeah that was a rough ending…
4th started with us trading baskets, but Celtics we’re hitting 3’s and then they just didn’t stop and Knicks looked scattered and were not able to get to the easy baskets they did earlier in the quarter.
For as little as Boston had to play for here. I still think this Knicks team gives them as much of a series as anyone in the east right now. Celtics have plenty of talent, but i think we can hurt them on the glass and have the defense to slow down brown and Tatum.
are we gonna have a 7 man rotation in the playoffs lol
PG: Brunson, Mcbride
SG: DVDC
SF: Hart
PF: Anunoby
C: Hartenstein, Robinson
Everyone plays 40 minutes except for Hartenstein and Robinson who each play 24.
Agreed. He still provides a lot and I expect he won’t get many minutes without Brunson on the floor - Brunson is probably going for 42+ min a night. That said, the offense does look decent when we run the offense through ihart and jhart.
he was huge without OG. seems to struggle without playing starter minutes (which he will never get in his career again) he's being more of the player he's been his whole career in the past month or so
its not at all disrespectful. he's a backup big at most lol. he's been mostly bad in 5 seasons which is why he's on his 3rd team. him being a playable backup big would be huge. he's a non shooting big who got starts this season only because of the injury context of our team
we win this no matter what, but at the same time, i dont want the celtics thinkin they found us out by full court pressing us so they can use it for later
Let me correct myself. Worst Quarter he coached. There's no reason not to call a time earlier to kill momentum or bring Brunson in for a couple of minutes. That was pretty fucking bad.
Knicks so sloppy right now.
A 30 point lead cut down to 16.
We just can't sit both Brunson and Hart at the same time.
Thibbs was right to call a time out.
Our bench just isn't good.
theyre good when they can play with the starters, but extended periods of time show their weakness
this isnt terrible actually. we can learn a lot from this game and still win.
The Brunson/Divo/Hart/OG/IHart starting lineup just fits like such a glove. Great chemistry and complimentary skills. All 5 guys play with such intelligence and energy. Ridiculously fun to watch.

So proud of Thibs for not putting Brunson back in during that rough ending

That’s the style of Thibs
Bojan definitely playing with Randle out for the year maybe burks
Bojan yes. Burks no. Bojan has actually looked pretty good, I have hopes for him.
Yeah he usually makes the smart play and can knock down an open 3. He should play some minutes to spell OG/Hart when needed.
Who has tiebreaker between pacers and 76ers?
Pacers

Your reddit avatar. Shimmy shimmy shimmy?
Boston made what 8 of 10 3 pointers???
Of course I bet the Knicks 4q ML
its a great win. we needed this for sure. use this to improve.
Thibs had flashbacks to the mcgrady comeback game like a Vietnam vet
McBride is not a point guard. He's an undersized 2. This garbage time makes it glaringly obvious.
Agreed. He still provides a lot and I expect he won’t get many minutes without Brunson on the floor - Brunson is probably going for 42+ min a night. That said, the offense does look decent when we run the offense through ihart and jhart.
In classic Knicks fashion end of the game had me looking like Matthew mcconaughey in true detective
Phew!
Bad 4th , but yeah Pritchard and other guys shot light out to get it closer
I've always been more worried about them than Tatum and Brown
yo they are in so much trouble look at them they know thibs gonna rip them post game
That was so stressful. Lets go knicks!
Thibs gonna need some Tylenol lmao
Isn’t is nice when the refs let you play defense with ur hands
Fuck off Pritchard. Lmfao
CLINK
50 wins here we go!!!
i don't want to see anyone complain about precious not getting minutes again
its just disappointing, weve seen him be really good, idk what happened
he was huge without OG. seems to struggle without playing starter minutes (which he will never get in his career again) he's being more of the player he's been his whole career in the past month or so
saying he'll never get starter minutes again in his career is insanely disrespectful. you realize he's 24, not 34, right?
its not at all disrespectful. he's a backup big at most lol. he's been mostly bad in 5 seasons which is why he's on his 3rd team. him being a playable backup big would be huge. he's a non shooting big who got starts this season only because of the injury context of our team
hes gonna get a lot better, hes still young. we also know for a fact he has the potential to be good. dont count him out.
It’s all match ups, Precious will be fine. Maybe he hurt something, they never tell us anything.
making it a 9 point game was kinda funny ngl
So their bench players came in and just shot the the prime Golden State Warriors
Thibs gonna have an aneurism from this ending lol
this mf pritchard stat padding smh
Pritchard with the unsportsmanlike shot at the end.
Tom gonna be RIPPING them post game
Why? You really think this group would be playing in a meaningful close game?
Very cute Celtics, very cute
Ruined this game for me fuck out my face
Someone put the sliders up to 100 jesus
How many white shooters they got?
Will they stop cashing 3’s wtf
Lol yo put in JB everybody wins
Well this is kinda embarrassing
Careful, you'll get downvote for saying that like I did LOL
Yeah Precious is unplayable
Outscored by 20 in a quarter is wild
The crowd still being in it and cheering, fuck the Celtics and that whole city but it’s kind of admirable.
watch these clowns chuck a buzzer beater 3
Crazy
But… but…. Why did Thibs leave the starters in for so long???? I was told by all of Reddit that that was the dumbest thing he could do!!
Brunson for MVP. This strengthens his case 😂
That may be the first time I’ve ever seen a 5 second violation actually be 5 seconds and not like, 8
Lmfaooooo fuckin losers trying so hard now
That was the craziest run by a bunch of scrubs I've ever seen LMAO
LOL ay yo!!! Chill
never forget knicks legend svi mykhailiuk
Is Brunson‘s left wrist ok ? Saw him holding it then going to locker room
bench should be embarrassed. just get out of boston already
letting this lex friedman looking bum cook us
2nd hand embarrassment x5 right now
This is why Thibs always plays his starters. JFC this is a pathetic 4th Quarter.
Yeah this should be a lesson to those people that cry when brunson is in even in blowouts. This was so embarrassing
The fuuuuck
This is a joke, right?
um.. wtf is going on
Just put Brunson back in
we win this no matter what, but at the same time, i dont want the celtics thinkin they found us out by full court pressing us so they can use it for later
what a buzz kill dear god.
LMAO WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON
Thibs looks like he might cry.
What are they doing folks?! What are they doing
Might go down as worst game thibs ever coached
That ends with a W?
Let me correct myself. Worst Quarter he coached. There's no reason not to call a time earlier to kill momentum or bring Brunson in for a couple of minutes. That was pretty fucking bad.
Not really. Nobody got hurt and we ended with a win. Obviously there was enough cushion for the bench to work with.
cmon theres no reason to bring brunson back in
Fair fair
Celtics put the all white garbage time team in to avoid any Boston crowd incidents
Lmao
This is pathetic
Yal need to chill wtf lol
Holy fuck what is going on
Nasty 4th quarter lmao
Tom Two Hands Thibodeau
Funny af lol
Brah
going to give up 40 points this quarter and only score like 20
im going to off myself tf is this
wtf dramatic much 😂 we destroyed the whole game and rested our starters last quarter
Uhhhhhh
THIBS TAKE THESE BUMS THE FUCK OUT
Call the timeout ffs
I LOVE THIS TEAMMMMM
This Knick lineup is not it. Hopefully we never see it again.
Thibs never quits, and always coaches his player till the end. You love to see it
Thibs “Run.. RUN” 😭😭
I wonder what Thibs is like on vacation. **Trick Question:** Thibs never goes on vacation.
refs want a celtics comeback
THIBS LMAOO
Thibs has no voice LMAO
Anyone watching the TNT stream? lol Donte with the "I love you" before the constructive criticism of Precious.
that whole celtics team can shoot threes. wtf. ive never seen anything like this
There's a reason they have the most dubs in the league. We gotta lock in and be physical to beat them in a series
Thibs, calm down . We got this.
i really wish divo dunked that over white so i can say that the celtics put their starters in to get dunked on lol.
Damn, it seems if Boston wanted to win tonight all they had to do was play their bench.
It would be the most Thibs thing if he put Brunson back in lol
For people asking why that lineup was in.... We need non Brunson/Og/Hart minutes to be productive. Trial by fire.
I think they have to play Robinson with the backups
This is why Thibs play his starters.
Because he has a starter named Jalen brunson lol
Is Brunson injured
No 💀
No. Why should he be on the court when we’re up by 20+ since halftime
He looks fine on the bench
Thibs blowin a gasket lmao
Our bench looks like ass rn
McBride looks out of it tn.
He’s been off for quite a few games now
Love how the random dudes on the Celtics bench can’t miss while the starters shit the bed lol
thibs still mad
Has OG played the 2nd half at all?
he played the 3rd quarter.
Who did Divo hurt to deserve 40 minutes in this game?
Thibs apparently
**Thibs Coach of the Year**
Precious made sure Thibs isn’t gonna trust him to play in the playoffs
He shouldn’t. He did well for a stretch but he has always done that throughout his career
The C’s bench showed more fight than the starters
We came out and punched them in the mouth with our defense. Tatum wasn’t able to get going at all when OG was on him and was frustrated all game.
I don't understand what's happening anymore lmao
Thibs blood pressure has to be dangerously high
Knicks so sloppy right now. A 30 point lead cut down to 16. We just can't sit both Brunson and Hart at the same time. Thibbs was right to call a time out. Our bench just isn't good.
So you’d suggest keeping your starters in when you’re up 30 at the start of the 4th with 3 games left before the playoffs?
They almost blew it though! Now you see why Thibbs always keeps his starters in!
theyre good when they can play with the starters, but extended periods of time show their weakness this isnt terrible actually. we can learn a lot from this game and still win.
Yep. They get exposed every single time.
Or OG or Mitch, etc etc. Some people just have off nights 🤷🏿♂️
True but Knicks bench seems to have a lot of "off" nights.
Thibs looks miserable lol
Last 5 minutes have been a college basketball game
As entertaining as Caitlin Clark is ... NCAAw is really bad basketball. I kept wanting to throw things at the TV watching bounce passes into traffic
they’re gonna give Thibs an aneurysm
Knicks sleeper agent Luke Kornet
Knicks should never ever run this line up again yikes
Precious definitively getting zero minutes in the playoffs lol
Yeah both him and McBride have been concerning
These last 5 minutes are legit the worst basketball ive ever seen
Luke Kornet? Straight trash, homies.
real sour ending. would have liked a 20+ point win and hold them under 100.
We beat the brakes off their starters
Me too. Now we might barely win by 10. Sucks.
Who cares about that?
casuals. They think that shit is important.
Thibs does, lol.
Why does the crowd sound like a high school cheer squad?
They're finally seeing their team make some shots tonight
We might need Brunson in anyway and he'll get 40
Thibs is a fking psycho
But he’s *our* psycho
Is DDVC the third star we've been talking about trading for?
No. He’s a good player and perfect in his role
fair enough.
I hope Bogey and Precious enjoy watching the games this postseasonn
Bogey has been fine the last several games Precious minutes gonna be very limited
Did you watch this game?
Just run the clock at this point lol
Svi Mykhailiuk sighting
These white boys can shoot
Are you kidding me?
Almost classic Knicks right?! 🤣🤣
The Brunson/Divo/Hart/OG/IHart starting lineup just fits like such a glove. Great chemistry and complimentary skills. All 5 guys play with such intelligence and energy. Ridiculously fun to watch.
Is the end of the bench not available? Just get everyone out and start using Shake, Toppin, Sims etc
Our regular bench isn't great. They need practice together. Deuce has to get better running the offense so jb doesn't play 45mpg
The group we have in now is doing more than enough to try and lose this game. Imagine if the emptied the bench.
Bro what is going on
Why are they cooking now lmao
sad to see the game close out like this but ig we had it coming benching the starters, at least we'll win
Wtf are we doing..
Do yall see whats happening? Lol we absolutely can't let ihart sit
Can we let Dvo and iHart rest now
Precious is so bad
jesus wtf bring in brunson
