I think there's gonna be a lotta happy people exiting the Garden tonight

A combined 6-24 from behind the 3-point line in the 1st quarter. NBA games are hard to watch. The sport is so diminished by that line.

@MrBator

 Yessss

Piss poor game plan by Boston head coach.  Heads will roll in Boston after this game if you know what I mean.

@MrBator

 Yep.  My Celtics TT O is dead if this keeps up...

@MrBator

Agreed. Hard to predict such a shitty game plan on a must win by Boston. Will see what 2H holds. 

Much as I suspected, tonight it’s the Knicks who built the 20-point lead. 

I figured that by now the Knicks were gettin’ REAL tired of hearing about how they fall behind by a lot in every game of this series. It’s true, but to have it pointed out endlessly had to be bothersome to them. 

I guarantee that at least one nitwit reporter either yesterday or today asked a Knicks player something like “Should you fall behind by double digits again in the second half, will the team be able to maintain its composure and pull off another comeback?”

How insulting, am I right?

Poor Josh Hart taking a face full of that Lithuanian armpit grease from Porzingis reminded me of Ben Stiller’s misfortunes during a pickup game in “Along Came Polly.”

Ben Stiller is sitting courtside tonight and probably thought about the same thing while looking up at the video board, lol.

Hey... woah woah woah...let's not discount Timothy Chalamet's contributions tonight 

@MrBator

almost there!

Timothee Chalamet should be sent home right now at halftime so he can rest up for the Pacers. The Knicks will need every A-list celebrity fan of theirs to be ready for the conference finals!!

I’m on the Knicks +5 -110 and moneyline +200 at halftime.

I had my initial doubts due to the Bator writeup curse but you nailed it this time and it made too much sense not to tail. Well done Sir. 

Nice!!!!!!!!

What do you have for the second half bator?

Knicks +5 and +200.

Who else wants to see the Leafs win this Game 6 in Florida so that on Sunday we can all enjoy the high comedy of watching the Toronto Maple Leafs again trying to win a REALLY important home playoff game?

Leafs GOAL!

Great call Mr. Bator. Never in doubt. Should have tailed more after your write up but money management is always key. Let’s see clean house the rest of the playoffs!!!

The Knicks had the lead up to a completely bloated 41 points but let the Smeltics score the final three buckets of the quarter. I hope the slacking off doesn’t continue in the upcoming garbage time of the 4th quarter.

@MrBator

 Excellent write-up and excellent call on Knicks!!!

@MrBator

 Thank you for this wire to wire, never in doubt, sweatless, super easy blowout winner. These are the kind of wins we dream about and hope for all the time as gamblers. Really didn't know which way i was going in this game till i saw your thread and went with your solid reasoning. 

104-68 with 8:22 to go and we’ll be seeing unfamiliar faces and jersey numbers the rest of the way. The Knicks currently have a 40-31 lead in the second half.
