by FLCeltsFan

MY NOTE:  I grew up in NY and was a Knicks fan back in the day.  Knick fans, and NYers in general, have pretty high BBIQ for fans.  The true morons, in my opinion, are the sportswriters who come up with ridiculous trade ideas (remember young Rondo for a bag of nobodies?).  These guys here are making legit observations.  They are also so used to tanking they can't think beyond where they'll be drafting next, and that is a disease I am very, very happy we don't have, never have had and hopefully never will have.


Why are we a three-point dog to a team with the same record as us but that is missing two of their best players?


Because they have a better roster?

With Kemba and Fournier playing, sure. But they're out.

They have a better roster even without those guys. Their two best players are Tatum and Brown. And Marcus Smart is a 2time reigning all-defensive 1st team member.

We beat them by 30 last game and should beat them by 40 this game.  They suck and we are a deeper team.  Plus they played last night.  

Must win game tonight but not sure which Boston team we're going to get they're really inconsistent

I feel good tonight    Bullock keeps his hot hand going, Quickley finally gets back on track, Randle dominates in the third quarter and the Knicks pull away and win by double digits.

Wally just said Kemba walker is not a winner. Nah. He’s just cooked.

Knicks 1-7 in division......the 1 win is bum Boston tho loooool

First game of the season I'm rooting for a loss. I've turned to the dark side.   Too much talent in the top ten.

yes sir! lets go celtics

Only 3 games to the 10th spot and then onwards into the basement  (MY NOTE:  The cancer of tanking lasts long)

Brad Stevens is going to play zone wire to wire.

Let’s get this L

Celtics will play 5 small players and we will still be going traditional. Let’s see if I can read a book instead of watching this one.

Celtics have been struggling just as much as we have. They played last night so we got the fresher legs. I sense a W. Elfrid goes off for 50.........turnovers.

One championship in the last 35 years. And that was after Kevin McHale gifted Kevin Garnett to his good buddy Danny Ainge. But they talk like they invented basketball.1, Red Auerbach is DEAD    2. Larry Bird is old and has a fat head     3. But don’t worry Jayson Tatum’s new sandwich has…bacon. Banner worthy?


Tatum has negative charism   He is so horrendous in those sandwich commercials lol. Is he the worst acting athlete ever or who am I forgetting

interesting to see langford vs RJ.   langford is a pretty good defender

langford is a bum

Knicks should smoke the Celtics by about 20

Elfrid nice pass. I want to fist fight him

Damn tony brothers out there tonight

Tony brothers AND elf starting again? Yeah this is an L

How do you play in the NBA and make that turnover

Its crazy how Boston had/has all that draft capital and star players to go along with it    And this is what it turned into

Anige did a garbage job managing those draft picks

They've had multiple first round picks per year for years     They could have consolidated to move up.

So there is such a thing as too many low 1st round picks.

If we lose to a team starting Romeo Langford I’ll kill myself  (MY NOTE:  Where should we send the flowers?)

Must win against a shorthanded division rival comin on the wrong end of a back to back

The celtics just had one of the weirdest player introductions i have ever seen. Legit only tatum and brown acknowledged and interacted with each other amongst the starters

Tony Brothers has a freakish hairline. It’s too good

Ainge didn’t want to trade Brown for Harden

Good sh** Payton. If we can get their only rim protector in foul trouble it's curtains

celtics are awful

Brown would of been he**a sweet on our team

Randle is going to have a hard time Jaylen Brown is a tough defender

Nice body control from Brown

Man it sucks that Jaylen Brown has to play for Boston, otherwise I would totally buy his jersey

neither of these teams should be in the playoffs

celtics just shoot a lot of 3's and miss a lot of 3's

Looks like Grant Williams is enjoying those Boston Creme pies.

Disparity between foul calls have begun. I know it seems like we complain about the refs every night, but I honestly feel the refs got it out for us.

Celtics missing a lot of open shots. Gotta play better defense they arent gonna keep missing

Thibs is a moron.  Elfrid is so bad and to play him is really irresponsible.

Payton the spark the Celtics have been waiting for all season

RJ is just as good if not better than brown & Tatum in there 2nd year

I have a good feeling about this one. We match up well against Boston. They don't have a dominant center who can take advantage of us.

Box out! We got three guys standing around watching the ball and Williams walks right by them for the put back

Agree with y’all. Jaylen Brown is nice. Too bad he’s a Celtic.

“RJ with 5 of the first 8? Let’s not give him the ball anymore that is a pretty good idea i think” - Knicks probably

refs not calling any fouls. Brown was fouled there

Knicks playing down to a team missing their key players... again.

Brown cooking RJ :/

I hate Marcus Smart. Go to a tanking team forever.

this is a team full of idiots

F***in Smart has caused three turnovers already

Okey so we're getting the good Celtics, it's going to be really hard tonight.

Lonzo Ball can't sign here quick enough

I hate Boston so much

Little known fact: Nerlens Noel has never committed a foul.     Source: Nerlens Noel


RJ is doing a horrific job covering Brown

I hate to be the bearer of 10th seed but

I used to hate Jaylen Brown so much but guys a tough cover. Type of dude you’d want as part of your foundation

True that. I only hate him because hes on the wrong team. Tatum too. And walker....

Can the refs just f*** over Boston for once? Tired of us getting shafted by them every night. Like I’ll take 1 rigged game

Did you not just see that outrageous call on Jaylen Brown?

weird call but we'll take it

Tony brothers heating up. We gotta slow him down going into the half or we're cooked.

Team looks trash rn but it's a good thing the Celtics also look trash rn lol

Thank god the celtics are in green or I wouldn't know which team is the knicks

tatum takes some awful shots

Brown and Tatum gonna kill us when they get hot

Grant Williams is a good defender  (MY NOTE:  An underappreciated skill, in my opinion)

These teams deserve each other right now.

Celtics no longer have their challenge...pretty bad one to waste it game looks like itll go to the wire.

Romeo Tankford

Timelord killing us tn on the boards

How is Langford getting rebounds. Box out you lazy f***s

Pritchard's a slippery lil guy isn't he

celtics have 11 offensive rebounds wow

Why do the Celtics players keep falling over?

Want someone to drop smart’s ugly a**

The Celtics robbed the Nets in one of the most lopsided trades in NBA history and the Nets are still probably gonna win a title before them lmfao

Romeo Langford, a shooting guard, has 4 offensive rebounds already. You hate to see it

Celtics with no PG off a back to back making our offense look like a g league team

Why Tatum and Lonzo look like brothers

why does it look like the celtics are pushing them around every play lol

Grant Williams Marcus smart and Tristan Thompson are big dudes. Taj and Noel are comparatively weak

Celtics on a back to back yet playing with much more energy

Too bad we have no D specialists that can play against Tatum or Brown.

I'd kill to have Marcus Smart on our team.

Tristan Thompson is a career offensive rebound specialist

Jason Tatum is so fun to watch

F*** the Celtics and all but Kemba, Brown and Tatum are all really likable. Grant Williams too   If these guys were on another team out west they'd be pretty easy to root for


A lot of complaining going on. We’re down 1 against a solid playoff team.

We have 1 assist and refs against us. This gunna be a stressful night.

Shows you how bad the C’s are, they out-rebounded the Knicks by 12 in the offensive glass, got to every loose ball, out worked, and only lead by 1..C’s were supposedly title contenders..

Celtics hit on so many draft picks, it's crazy.

Lol this is beyond wrong. Tatum and Brown are it. Both Top 3 picks too.

at this point I've accepted the fact that we're gonna get blown out in the 3rd quarter with a minimum of a 10 point differential heading in the 4th

How bad is the 3rd quarter collapse gonna be tonight?

tony brothers needs to get his eye brows done

What if randle is only good in empty arenas?

Timelord would fit so well with our team...

Great start to the half. Celtics are giving us this game. This is the worst they’ve looked in the Brad Stevens era

It’s crazy how Tatum has fell off. Even earlier in the season it seemed like he took the hardest shots in the world. And then after he got COVID he just hasn’t been the same

Boston is gonna get smacked in the playoffs by somebody

This Celtics team is really not that good.

They suffer from the same problem we do. No PG. Kemba is barely playing and when he does hes not the same  (MY NOTE:  And even when Kemba was Kemba he wasn't really a point guard)

pretty funny how the knicks consistently leave jaylen brown open lol

who is suppose to be guarding brown?

Maybe we should guard Jaylen Brown from 3?

Assume stevens huddle is going something like this ' why are you just shooting out of rhythm 3's on offense"?

Seriously terrible offense series from c's last few trips.


Grant Williams looks like a worm who hit the buffet a little to hard.

I'm counting on Tony Brothers to bring home the loss

Jayson Tatum scores so easily. I hope RJ can get like him scoring wise

Maybe we should guard the two guys that are gonna shoot the most threes

Grant Williams is a goofy footed baby huey looking b**ch.

Brown did me a favor and punched Payton in the face, Thibs challenged so he can have Payton play the whole quarter. I give up.

Is it wrong I wished brown landed a bigger blow?

Cant believe Elf had the audacity to smack Brown in the arm with his jaw like that

Fatso Williams clobbered Nerlens too

Brad Steven’s out coaching Thibs this game. He knows our players going to help the paint and leak out on the baseline. And he’s placing the shooter on the corners to kill us

Celtics have a really whos who of generic players outside of Tatum and brown.

They’re a bunch of mid first rounders who were good in college.

Stop. Leaving. Jaylen. Brown. Open.

Keep leaving jaylen brown open you fools ‍�

We should be exploiting Pritchard on RJ every single play. C's are forced to double.

Tatum is Wiggins with a green light.

Pritchard look like a child escaped onto the court

Both team's shooting in this game is making me sad. We're really good at dragging opposition offense down to our level lmao

Robert Williams is a nice player. Looks like he’s put on more muscle this season too.

Tatum can literally do nothing right tn lol

quick appreciation for Boston being this bad

Grant Williams looks like a brolic tapeworm

The celtics are down bad man, I mean I knew they weren’t living up ti expectations this year but I aint know they THIS disfunctional

The truth is both of these teams are play-in caliber teams.  Only difference is for the Celtics that’s a huge disappointment, for us... it’s a good building block


Pritchard just attempted two stupidly deep 3's in a row. There's no way Stevens is telling him to shoot that

Prichard shot two 30-footers and got bailed out of having to guard Obi and Taj. #Lilliputian

Can’t believe Brad called a time out with two seconds on the shot clock. You know they’re gonna brick regardless. What’s happened to this guy

Tatum just took 5 steps.

These refs have been awful for both teams

Brown has a big noggin

The Celtics have two guys you have to guard and they somehow end up open every possession

lowkey brown is better than tatum

How are their two best players always open from three?

Jason Tatum is good at the sport of basketball (also he said on Twitter last night that his favorite place to play is MSG just sayin)

Where were you when Tristan Thompson became Rudy Gobert?

I don’t hate anybody more than I hate Smart

id kill to have someone like Marcus smart on our team

We all hate smart but can we all agree he would be great for this team

This team chookes hard

i have no faith in them winning

Elf in just to cement the loss. Thanks Thibs

I hate this team

The. Knicks. Are. Inevitable.

I don’t get that defensive possession there. Why are we leaving Smart wide open?

Smart only hits 3s in the clutch

F*** Marcus smart

tatum dribbles with his head down       8 turnovers...

Please don’t play these loser veterans to try and get the 10 seed, we need to get in the lottery and build through the draft for next year

How tf did we leave Marcus Smart wide open. Jayson Tatum is not Kyrie Irving, you do not need to double team him.

I don’t understand why we left Marcus smart wide open on 3 possessions in the fourth?

Smart hitting clutch threes

Only against us does Marcus Smart.... MARCUS SMART hit a dagger 3 for a chance to win.

He's actually very clutch.  Would love him on this team.  

If Marcus Smart was a Knick they would have won.  

Thibs forgot how to coach

Good move Thibs     Putting Payton in in crunch time. Was worried the Knicks might win.

notice how the celtics have langford in at the end?...a young energetic role player    imagine that thibs

We tanking boys!

Payton could hit a game winner and I’ll still hate his guts

You have to double tatum when hes dribbling. Its too easy for him to see it coming and make the pass. Make tatum beat you when he was broke all night

Yes they doubled Tatum and Smart got the three that beat us lol

Knicks are good enough to lose late..guess that’s improvement

Smh there isn't a clutch bone in this team's body

Combine these two rosters you still don’t have a contender.

Groundhog’s day. Puxatawny Thibs just saw Elfrid Payton’s shadow. Another 6 weeks of Elf, folks.

tatum with 25/10/5 and someone here called him wiggins. sad

Good tank win to avoid Heat in play in

Watching Marcus Smart play defense makes me realize how crazy it is that people are out here calling players like Frank elite defenders.   This isn’t a shot at Frank , he is really good on ball but Marcus Smart is to me the most dominant defensive force on and off ball. He takes your best player completely out of the game and is relentless you cannot set a screen on him. He changes the entire team defense not just the man he is guarding .

Knicks need someone scrappy like Smart. He’s an amazing defender and he doesn’t give a eff

Smart always hits totally bs clutch shots against us.

I dont think Marcus Smart has ever missed a shot in the 4th quarter against the knicks in his career.

I was using this game to procrastinate changing a cat's litter box. Little did I know this stunk worse.
