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.


Bisme read small print at the bottom :lol:

No major injuries to …………. ………… ……….. ……….

He knew what he was doing :banghead: :banghead:


Damn Arky, OldCeltics was the real curse all along.

Back to insults for you, I guess.

Celtics still has enough talent to win the series but it starts tonight.

Win this for Tatum!

Jaylen is probably getting knee surgery when the season ends. He dug deep for one big game this postseason, when Tatum missed one vs Orlando with the wrist, but in other games he's just been a guy and out there doing his best.

He's a gamer and I can see him coming up big tonight, but it would be quite shocking to see him do it in 3 straight games.

Because I'm not a whore? I don't understand how this is even a question.

He still has the damn respiratory illness from months ago and has very little energy or stamina. Which is why he's just been guy this series too. So yeah.

I can’t see us winning this game without Tatum and KP’s mysterious illness turning him into a pumpkin.

My guess is we fight hard to start but Knicks will take over second half.

Join Ark there's still room on the wagon.

Go Pacers!


We're unbeatable with Arky leading the way, the Celtics only won game 3 because he was on vacation 8-)

Lot of people here still believe the Celtics will win tonight, even with Tatum out. But it was Tatum who carried them the whole last game.

This series ends tonight!

Speaking from experience... he's such a wildcard. He had anemia for awhile with us. Then if he's actually healthy a total game changer.

Interested to see what you guys do with him.
