Knicks (3-4) at Celtics (3-4) Game #8 11/11/16

Tommy brought up a good point near the end of the game. IT plays a lot better when he doesn't make a concerted effort to distribute the ball. With Kelly back and Smart in the starting lineup, there are enough players on the floor that can account for themselves without IT having to worry about getting other players involved. It doesn't hurt that Smart and Kelly themselves are decent ball distributors.

it is nice to get a W.

Thank the heavens for the Knicks.

What a dumpster fire that team is, yet again.

[BlackCeltic]

Noone in the league does what Smart does, pound for pound.

Lord, why are our bigs so inept when it comes to rbs? Again, AB is short for a 2G and he has tied or lead for 1st and 2nd in rbs in all but 1 game (IIRC), that's just sad.

Nice W 😊 I'm happy. IT was on fire but honestly, IMO, there are guys who just play with a winning effort. Crowder and Horford are these types of players, and Smart is one as well.

Isaiah pound for pound is pretty [dang] good lol.  I love when Marcus plays point though.  Just something about his playmaking comes out when he can really feel his way through the game and run the show.

That outlet pass to Bradley is a prime example. He just sees the floor better than anyone else on our team.

Both teams played on Wednesday with the Celtics losing to the Wizards 118-93 and the Knicks doing the Celtics a favor by beating the Knicks 110-96

It's pretty standard for the Knicks to beat themselves.  Let's hope they do it again tonight.

FlCeltsFan was right.

smaht was passing all over the place. that pocket pass to ko from it4 was a beauty!

[walker834]

That lineup of Marcus, Bradley and jaylen doesn't get played very often but I hope Ainge notices these things. I doubt he does. 

BRad just gets in this mode of playing guys and rotating them as well.  I wonder if he even notices.

Isaiah is the key guy on this team right now.

So this is what winning feels like. Feels nice. Great game guys! Let's move on to the next one, hopefully with Horford!!
