2025 NBA PLAYOFFS East Semifinals: #2 Boston Celtics vs #3 New York Knicks (NYK leads 1-0)

[Chocolate City Jordanaire]

I think Boston strategy was

1st quarter we shave some dust off

2nd we gonna lead by 25 points

Second half - we win comfortably by 35 points

Heh, you're kinda like a good luck charm for us. Keep up the BS.

I can’t be your good luck charm

I’m wearing all green tonight

And I’m enjoying Tatum threes like no other Celtics fan ever did

Live by those threes.

Die by those threes.

[LFGK]

There's nothing to talk about lol.

When the Celtics rip apart the Knicks the only thing we're gonna hear is how hurt the Knicks are and how the Celtics are once again on the easiert route to a championship ever.


It's deja Vu here. The Celtics disrespect is strong.

If we lose 4 rotation players for the bulk of the series then, yeah, you'll probably hear about how we lost 4 rotation players for the bulk of the series.

Right now we're pretty healthy which is why you're not hearing that.

The Knicks don't have the talent to beat the Celtics. No one believes that.

[Celts17Pride]

This, why you think every Celtic homer in here is so on edge? Talking about 4-0, unbeatable this that and downplaying it so much don't kid yourself that aren't very comfortable rite now because they know we can play with them. Tonight they will see

I can tell you that 99.9% of Celtics fans are very, very happy the Celtics are playing the Knicks in the 2nd round. Celtics in 4-5, Knicks fans should claim victory if the Knicks can push this series to 6 games and lose 2-4.

Enjoy your moment. Series results will be the same.

Magic are the best team at guarding the 3pt line. Knicks are the worst team at guarding the 3pt line. It's a completely different series for Boston.

I thought the Celts looked great last series considering the injuries and the fact that they had to play a much different style than usual. It was hard to get the 3pt barrage going and the C's had to iso more, play in the midrange a lot, and score tough baskets over good defenders. And still won by an average of 11 points per game as you said.

The Knicks are towards the top of the teams in the playoffs for 3PT%, held Detroit 4-5% less then their reg season avg. Celtic fans gonna be in for a rude awakening man they think they have a cakewalk but this series is going to be a battle.

I'm not expecting a cake walk. I'm expecting to win a tough series. I think it will be easier for the Celtics to score in this series than our last one, but the Knicks are much better than Orlando offensively, and your Clutch Player of the Year will def give me stress down the stretch of close games.

Will be just as hard to score this series, 6 games forsure but KNICKS in 6

See what? How many times the Celtics gotta beat the Knicks before y'all start giving the flowers.

Sounds good big dawg we'll talk
About this in the upcoming week

Sure they will, we'll See the tune change after it's 2-0 wed night

[___Rand___]

I don't think Knicks are doing it this game. Celtics are exploiting Knicks' weaknesses and Knicks can't do nothing about it.

Oh, ye of little faith.

A little late there bro.

[Celts17Pride]

Enjoy your moment. Series results will be the same.

Sure they will, we'll See the tune change after it's 2-0 wed night

I had Celtics in 5, seen nothing tonight that has me changing my pick.

[LFGK]

Enjoy your moment. Series results will be the same.

OG got Tatum in the same hell he had Cade in. Welcome to NYK basketball, we are going to have a lot of fun this series

You're a Celtic fan I expect nothing less though lol, but deep down inside you saw NOTHING, not one thing while a 20 point lead melted away with a relentless defense?

[robbie84]

The Knicks got the split they wanted. If they can play with high energy and focus in game two, things can get interesting... but we know that BOS will come out angry, so the Knicks need to be prepared.

Because despite the win, the Knicks really didn't play that great. They missed tons of free throws and turned the ball over a bit.

Hopefully Thibs can open up a playbook and run something other than Brunson ISOs as well. He made huge shots, but the ball stopping isn't going to cut it all the time.

That should be more worrisome for Boston.

Celtic homers won't look at this at all like that, they will tell you how they will shoot better from 3, there's no way the Knicks could possibly play better the Celtics didn't shoot awful the Knicks forced them into awful
Shots and clamped down the second half. Keep jacking up those 3's and it won't be a long series I promise you

I mean the C's lost Porzingis early and Hauser went down with the ankle after playing 4 mins.

You got balls daring the Celtics to keep shooting threes.
Be careful what you wish for

[Capn'O]

I expect Cs to take G2 convincingly but we showed we can keep it close. And we have the best closers. Gonna be a long series.

[Zenzibar]

Crazier things happen. WHy not.

[Capn'O]

Why not beat Boston in 5?

I'd allow it

[The Corey's]

Y'all ever seen a fan base act like they won a ship over one game lol.

Embarrassing

If they are taking the 3's they took in that second half they could take 75 of them. Great Knick defense tonight, see you all wed night and please don't go quiet after it's 2-0

[LFGK]

Y'all ever seen a fan base act like they won a ship over one game lol.

Embarrassing

After guys like you said it would be over in 4? And we should be thankful if we win 1?

Embarrassing



Wether you want to accept it or not the Knicks are sending you home very soon champ but congrats you are 4-1 against them so far this year.
