I'd enjoy it too knowing I got romped by this team 10 of the previous 11 meetings and at expected to take another early round exit.

Like is said. It was the Knicks championship. Congratulations.


how did that 10/11 help last night? stop looking into the past and worry about game 2.

Look at you. Flexing regular season wins. I expected better :lol:


What you didn't expect was a game 1 win and it shows.


I did not. But guess what? You didn’t expect to lose a 20 point lead and that shows.

I've not quoted you once pal. Youre the one who went back 5 days and grabbed a quote of mine and dug it up immediately after the game.

I've ignored almost all your responses.

So let's be clear. You're quoting me. You're having your fun. I'm responding to a third of them. Engaging with others who are quoting my responses to you and laughing at all the trail of tears each and every one of you have left for the rest of us to look back on later.

You’ll probably win… and I’ll pick you over Indiana/Cleveland in 6 or 7 if you do…but if the Celtics disrespect the Knicks as much as you do, this won’t be the only time you get Brunson’d.


Incorrect. You and a host of other knick fans keep quoting ME. I'm not engaging with you. You're engaging with me.

No one asked you to harass me for my opinion or for other users to dig up post I made of Celtics in 5 after one **** game but here we are.

I get it. You guys gotta get your licks in now because next week you got nothing else to do but don't turn this into me disrespecting the Knicks. Celtics in 5 is a completely reasonable take giving the talent gap and how the regular season went.

Get over it. It happened. I didn't just make it up.


You’re the one who keeps talking trash without reading what people are writing. Maybe you should get over the fact that you were wrong about the Knicks being a bad team? You can’t get mad at people for correcting you when you keep trying to misrepresent what we have been saying.

Or do you think it’s just a coincidence that your interactions with our fanbase have been so different from bis or brackdan’s? :dontknow:

Since you are either too upset or too American to read before quoting someone; YOU’LL PROBABLY STILL WIN THIS SERIES. But you overestimated the importance of the RS games between these teams & underestimated the Knicks, it happens. I underestimated Denver, despite still feeling like they could get gentleman’s swept by OKC.

Knicks sending these softies home in 6. Tatum is soft, KP is soft, how many minutes can the AARP man play for em? and how many times will he switch onto Brunson thinking he's going to do something only to get cooked?

Definitely can see us punch them in the face again and them still not knowing how to react if they can’t get hot from 3, we are a very good team…but they are defending champs and I wouldn’t bank on them rolling over for us, even if we can snag game two as well.

This is going to be an interesting series. Not a pretty performance from the Celtics. But they also kept New York 9 points worse than their RS average team ORTG, which is promising.

If they can keep that up, minding that Boston was the 5th-ranked D in the league, then they will be able to purchase the time they need to figure out their offense. OG isn't going to be 6/11 from 3 every game, nor is Brunson going to shoot 5/9 from 3 the whole series.

Obviously, they took way too many 3s. Tatum, Brown and White combined to shoot 10/41 from 3, which was brutal. Horford and Pritchard combined for 3/10 off the bench and Jrue was 2/7. Just... bombing it from 3. The team smashed the O boards but they just kept bricking from 3 and didn't pivot their strategy, which was obviously a mistake.

Game 2 will be very, very telling from Boston in terms of their approach, and performances from their main guys. Jaylen Brown and Jrue Holiday in the second quarter should have been the template, really. That was the best quarter for Boston all game, and they walked into half-time with a 16-point lead. Then they crapped themselves in the 3rd and were even worse somehow in the fourth. Especially Tatum, just chucking from 3.

New York shot quite poorly on the game as well, but Boston was just far worse. They posted what, 19% FG in the 4th?

Game 2 will probably look quite a bit different for both teams.

Pritchard losing his mojo has hurt the Celtics a lot as of late as their bench is already thin on offensive firepower. It’s a misconception that Boston is a deep team. They aren’t. They are just a very top heavy team.

They got good production from guys like Hauser and Kornet during the RS but Joe doesn’t seem to trust them as much in the playoffs.

Look at you. Flexing regular season wins. I expected better :lol:


What you didn't expect was a game 1 win and it shows.
I mean, no one SHOULD expect to steal home court in game 1. By definition, the expectation was that Boston would win given the higher seeding and it being in Boston.
