Kemba back today - on minutes limit.  But quite a few Celts out

I smell a Knicks win.

Hey Bank, tell your guys to take it easy on The Poor Knicks.

I mean, you will win, no need to give us a merciless beating, ok?

Carlos as a courtesy to you I put a call in to Brad and asked him to sit Tatum and play the kids, and he agreed but said Kemba might give it a shot.

No promises.

I got no idea what to expect.

Last time we chatted knicks were kicking ass,  what happened?

[bodiddley]

Unsurprisingly it was a mirage.
Elf & Rivers slumped.  Quicks very up and down.  Burks still out.  RJB erratic and hugely slumpy from 3.  So NYK guard play went into the toilet.

Meanwhile, teams started playing zone and daring our poor shooters to shoot.  I'd be interested to know the Knix FG% on open and wide open 3's.  Especially the last 6 games or so.

Teams have packed the paint to reduce layups.  And doubled Randle who's still carrying us, but not at as superman a level as earlier. 
The increased 3's and fewer drives mean fewer FT's.
Lastly Knick transition D is awful, allowing teams easy early offense baskets.
Randle & RJB getting fatigued.

I think that about synopsizes that.

Thank you Bank. It was nice to win a quarter.

What happened? Knicks back to Earth.

And, all of what BoZ said.

[bodiddley]

Ah shit, i didn't know it was a day game.
MLK Day right?
Just tuned in, hope my internet connection holds up.

[bodiddley]

I tune in mid 2Q and Beaujolais chucks a trio of treys.  And all I'm thinking is Thank You.

Celts might want to think up some better O.
Quickly scoring easily.

in the annals of homer announcers, Boston has a special place, yeah I know most announcers are homers, though I do think Breen and Clyde play it pretty straight (and back in the day Marv most definitely did much to Duhlan's consternation), but Boston  - ugh...just insufferable

[kidcarter8]

9-4-3-1-1 for Elfrid

I expect this - Knicks up 21 - to still be a game. 

Kemba down, let's see if he is out

[kidcarter8]

When was the last time we won while never trailing?

[bodiddley]

Believe it or not, it was worse when Heinsohn was in on the action.

Celts playing like crapola.

Jack, you can watch it on MSG.

BoZ, who's Beaujolais? Barrett? Boy, you make it difficult some times.

[bodiddley]

Ojeleye
0-5 on 3's.
His last was just an airball.
Well, he had been shooting 42% on 3's this season ...

[bodiddley]

As for Kemba, BOS announcers had already been talking about the minutes restriction and thought that was his last stint for the game before he got injured.
So with that, plus the injury, plus the blowout, Kemba will not be back.

[kidcarter8]

So...

Elfrid Payton - starting PG and one of the 2-3 team leaders of the 2020-21 New York Knickerbockers - who stand at 6-8 after being picked to go 22-50 -

and this guy is getting knocked?

Please,

[bodiddley]

Pretty weak argument.

Quickly outplayed Elf by far this game (and a few others recently).
Real nice game from Quicks.
