To me it's or due or die for Boston. Rarely do you see a team down 0-2 on the road laying 6 points. Knicks don't get any respect and they are the tougher team. Boston is more talented and has been the better team for 3 quarters. It's honestly a kind of fascinating situation.

Tatum playing the role of Superman

Talk about bad timing. But he has a chance to be Superman if the Celtics can come back and win this series.

So far top teams are down in the series so far like OKC, CAVS and CELTS. Do you guys think the NBA is up to something? Need to bring in more $$$ maybe? Don’t be surprise if all these series are going to 7. Boston, of course will do everything to lose again, lol.

I think the line is disrespectful to the knicks and at the same time expect celtics to cover easily. We'll see.
