Everyone seems to be focused on the C's offense during this series which of course I understand. I felt the coaching was the reasoning for the losses in game 1 & 2. But the C's have had 20+ point leads in all 3 games. Sure, their 20 3's made was a good reason for the positive offensive showing in game 3, but they averaged 18/game during the regular season. It's not that much of a surprise to see them hit 20 3's. The DEFENSE has been their strength this series. They are the only team these playoffs allowing LESS than 10 made 3's/game. They are allowing the fewest points to opponents also at 95(1 of 2 teams allowing less than 100/game - Minny other team). White/HOliday have put a lock on Brunson and are making it very difficult for him to get going. The C's only need to play avg on offense in order to easily get over 100 whereas the Knicks are avg 97 and only got over 100 once because of OT in game 1. There is a reason why the C's are favored -300 to win the series while being down 2-1. They are the far better team. I think Brunson goes under tonight on his points and I think C's cruise to another W heading back to Boston 2-2. Sure, Knicks could surprise everyone or C's go cold again, but I don't think that happens. Tatum game tonight getting 25+ and maybe even 30. Yes, I'm a homer for Boston, but if Boston plays an avg game on offense while continuing to play great defense, Knicks shouldn't be able to keep this close. Tatum and Brown haven't really had a big offensive showing yet either. The game is for the C's to win or lose...another close to 20 point lead at halftime has me tempted to take 1st half C's or 1st half over 55.5 for C's.
Brunson under 27.5
Tatum over 25/C's ML
C's -6.5
