Ark is one of the most dedicated Knicks fans on this board, even if he’s not ready to admit that that hate he feels towards the Knicks is just because they haven’t loved him back.

I'm bummed about my C's but just remembered I'm about to make $1000 which is pretty cool.

OldCeltics wrote:Guys Celtics are not just better than Knicks, its not even close. Its like a top 5 NBA team against a college team. The problem is they up by 20 points in game 1 and 2, and are so disrespectful to Knicks that they just coasted, pure arrogance.

But if the Celtics locked in, they would blow them out 20 each game. Just need to play 48 minutes.

If Knicks win this series i will give each person in this thread 1k each. It just wont happen. 0% chance. This promise applies off course if no major injuries to Tatum/Brown/Porzingis/White.

The series was already lost before the injury happened, that should still be actionable.

That backfires and sometimes you accidentally get good. 1.FC Union Berlin has been in the 1st division for the better part of a decade now and I don't know what to do with myself :lol:

The Celtics win, to play another day. Then a game 6, then a game 7 triple overtime knock-down dragout and whomever wins has to play us in 2 days.

I'm not writing off the Celtics yet. I know 99% of people on here and in the media have but one thing I've noticed over the last few years is that when Tatum is out Brown has tended to have his best games. If he finds his shot and goes for 35+ on good efficiency and White can start to play like he did in last year's playoff run I think they can actually win tonight. After that who knows if the Knicks start to get the playoff jitters. Not that I'd bet on this happening but I think the Celtics are still dangerous without Tatum.

What's crazy is that even without Tatum, Celtics will be favored to win every remaining game this series. 5.5 point favorites tonight.

I can see Celtics winning tonight, but game 6 will be tough in MSG.

3-1 series is 95%. Celtics have more than double the chance of winning the series than Mavs had of getting Flagg. This isn’t over by a long shot
