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

God I hate watching all this 3pt spamming by the Celtics. Least favorite team to watch out of all teams.

It’s not fun for the opposition since it’s way too tiring— just effective basketball if you have the tools to do it for 48 minutes.

The officiating from the Pistons series to this series is so different. Celtics getting every little whistle. Ridiculous.

Ref whining in first 6 minutes of the best of seven series— par for the course for RealGM.

On those fouls, the pair on KAT was legit, both against Tatum and the big man was just too slow keeping up and closing out with the Celtics star.

But they aren't being treated the same as against Detroit.

He's spot-on there.

The Knicks are playing above their heads like a stack of midgets in a trench coat right now. Once things settle, the sweep will fall comfortably in place.

It’s so refreshing to read smart post

Tatum is gonna cook their centers so bad

True if he expects the same non-call as Hart on THJ's jumper at the buzzer, then yes the Knicks will be treated differently from the Detroit series.

Gotta control the boards, cannot give second chances for the Celtics.

Shaquille O'Kornet!

Both teams are jittery I think. Lots of unforced turnovers and missed layoffs.

If they loose all 4 games by. A total points difference less than 100 combined then they’ll deserve some praise

[durden_tyler]

Refs allowing lots of contact. That’s good news for this series.

worst part is knowing that most of the league will play like this eventually unless the NBA makes a major change

[durden_tyler]

McBride and OG the reason why this is a close first quarter and not a blowout yet.

It makes perfect sense that Tatum would be peaking at 27, but I don't know how he got more athletic at 27. My issue with him prior to this season was always how heavy footed he looked. Getting past the first line of defense was a challenge and his game was built around taking a lot of contested jumpers. Because of it I could never seem him elevating beyond the 2nd tier of stars in this league. Top 10 and nothing more. Well, that has all changed this year. He just looks so nimble on his feet and explosive af off the dribble. He seems to jumping better than ever too around the rim. There's no way to guard him 1-on-1 anymore. He's a sure fire top 5 player in the league today.

Gunna have to catch up with y’all after the game, hopefully it’s a great show & go Knicks!
