Crazy how the Celtics have been better for 99% of the series but are down 0-2

The Knicks need this lead to get to 20. That’s the only way they’re beating Boston

Hard to blame them. They were ready to go, just nothing to cheer about.

As bad as that KAT bricked 3 was that's better than any other shot they've been able to generate

Have you ever watched a basketball playoff series?


Yeah, it's weird. It's like when a team wins the first couple of games people immediately assume that it's gonna be a sweep or something. They assume that the other team will just lay down.

It's really silly. Boston and Cleveland were the favourites. They are gonna do everything in their power to not fall behind 3-0.

KAT injured?

Terrible start but the one piece of good news is that Tatum is again MIA.

Fully confident in the Cavs winning their series but I’m not so sure about the Cs after losing in the fashion that they did. Those were soul snatching defeats.
