Like, okay, we can't shoot every damn possession of three-pointers. They were trying. But, you know, the defense from the Knicks is like, they're happy to switch. We talked about heading into the series. Man... Watch out for Cat and Brunson. They're going to try and be exposed. Celtics are doing it. Celtics are getting these matchups, but they're not scoring.

More times than not, they're not scoring on them.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, yeah, 13 twos. One of them was the Tatum layup at the end. They went three for... 13 on twos. That's a problem. They missed 14 straight shots. And a large part of that, I think, is because Porzingis isn't really playing. Mitchell Robinson gets the game ball for this game. He was awesome in the third quarter going into the fourth quarter. That's a guy who's moving his feet on switches.

He's probably the slowest guy out there and Tatum cannot get past him. Right now, he's finishing possessions with the offensive rebound on the offensive end. He's just setting every single ball screen. He must have set 80 ball screens in the fourth quarter. Once he subs out, it's Josh Hart setting all the screens. They hacked Mitchell Robinson twice. That was a funny play.

Got the Knicks into the bonus, and then they subbed him out. Brilliant stuff by Tom Thibodeau, who's absolutely outcoaching Joe Mazzulla through the first two games so far. And without Porzingis out there, there's nobody that scares the Knicks on the perimeter. Like, Horford is a good shooter.

He hasn't been making them, obviously, but this guy looks tired in fourth quarters having to play so many minutes. Robinson staying on the court allows the Knicks to have three really big, long defenders when Bridges and Ananobi are out there, too. So when Tatum's trying to go by a guy like Mitchell Robinson, there are help defenders. in Bridges and Ananobi, and that's kind of their strength.
