I hope that wasn't an Achilles tear, but I can't imagine it being anything else with how much pain he was in.

I really thought Boston or Cleveland was going to win the title.

Now that seems just gone.

Jrue and Porzingis gone next year. No reason to bring them back this window is closed with Tatums injury

Laughing at an injured player should be automatic ban you POS

I think that was before he realized Tatum was hurt.

No point in arguing with him. I'm not even watching the game live.

Congrats Knicks fan. The series was over after game 2, I voted no in the thread Will Celtics come back. Shame that Tatum got injured. The end of the season and the end of this core. There will be a big trade in the summer.

Sucks for Tatum but it was over regardless.

We need to hear from Arky

Did Mike Breen just call coming back from 14 pt third quarter deficit as a big comeback?

Did they show a replay of the injury and I missed it? I couldn't quite tell if it was the ankle

Series is over. BOS needs to be more concerned with Tatum than the series

I didnt see the "ping", but we also didnt get the back angle of it.

He immediately went to a heap after pushing off. Its likely achilles. Reminds me a lot of the Jaelen Phillips Dolphins one visually and how they reacted.

If that’s what it is then the Celtics are done. Sad ending to an up and coming star.

If it is an Achilles, that pretty much means Tatum is out for all of next season. Yet, he and Brown will be on super max contracts. Pretty much a worst case scenario.

I really hope it's a calf. Achillies is a season ender for next year. We're in May already.

The whole second half was nothing but dribbling whenever Tatum was on the floor. Barely a pass in sight.

Respect to the Knicks, though, because they still scored 120.

Even after Tatum left. There was a little under 4 mins left. Don’t just start chucking up prayer 3s. Defense will give up the layups in those scenarios. You get a stop or two and suddenly it gets tight

The way he was devastated, crying and in the wheelchair ain't no way that's just an ankle sprain.

As a internet registered surgical nurse..I don't have a clue . :nod:

Hopefully nothing more then a bad sprain.

Just too many games that are too strenuous on the body, league has to reduce it by at least ten.

Get well soon Tatum. He’ll be out all next season, same **** that happened to Murray with his ACL injury and timing.

Who wins Game 4?
