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

[Movics]

I'm very, very confident the Celtics win the next 2 games. The Celtics have outplayed the Knicks the whole series. Celtics have the focus now. Knicks are in trouble.

Is Tatum the newest member of the Ewing Theory piece?

I think the Knicks end this tonight. Brunson has a mean streak and he was pissed at the end of the last game over getting kicked out. He might drop 40

Not with Jaylen Brown guarding Brunson full court all game.

Yeah I love how your fanbase has coalesced around Brown after the Tatum injury, but if Jrue can’t stop Brunson, why would Brown?

Just go back to last game.

If the Knicks lose the next game, I could see Boston taking the series at home. Even without Tatum, they're still the more talented team from top to bottom and they play more loosely with nothing to lose at this point. This is a must win game for the Knicks IMHO.

Last game the refs was ridiculous in the third quarter and I think they let Brown get away with a lot that should have had him in foul trouble early.

I don’t think the Celtics get that type of home cooking in NYC.

Actually glad today is a workday to make the between the morning and game pass. Anyway go KNICKS!

Brunson fouled. A foul is a foul. Knicks had 40 free throw attempts on the road in Game 5. It's hilarious the Knicks and their fans complain about the refs

Yeah you can keep denying what happened , but regardless you’re going to see what I mean tonight when I said Brunson has a mean streak.

the 20 FTA you got in the 3rd is what shifted the game and gave you the lead, any person with 1 eye and half a brain could see it.......

Tell Brunson and KAT to stop fouling.

yup but then itll turn into "the refs helped out the knicks close us" meanwhile refusing the look at the 3rd quarter of game 5 objectively

I mean, you're a homer so I expect nothing less, Brunson got kneed in the nuts for his 6th foul lol, I'm not entertaining anything you say any longer in ths thread, complete waste of time. Enjoy Cancun though, Banner 19"Beat NYK 4-0 in the reg season"

Truth hurts. Brunson got keed in the nuts on his 6th foul after he blocked and grabbed the defender, and you call me a homer

Is Tatum the newest member of the Ewing Theory piece?

It is a lost cause but I hate that the Ewing theory is named after Patrick Ewing because the underlying theory accurately describes some pseudo-stars but the player it is named after doesn't deserve it.

Pre-wrist injury the Knicks did worse without Ewing. We have plus minus data for 2 seasons of him prior to the injury and we have the first 2 seasons of his career when he missed substantial time.

If the theory must be named after a knicks it should Melo, who is a massive disappointment by plus/minus and whose lose wasn't felt by Denver.

It is bonkos Simmons loves Melo given that he rips Ewing so much. It really comes down to aesthetics. He found Melo, and Bernard King, fun to watch but not Ewing.

[Wolfgang630]

Brunson definitely has to be smarter. He fouled and fouled out. That won’t happen in game 6. They’ll probably beat the Celtics by around 10 points.

[sp6r=underrated]

I've said this in non-Knicks series and I'll say it here fans focus way too much on the refs and not enough on their team's flaws. The Knicks problem in Game 5 was awful play from OG/KAT not the refs. Boston's problem in G1/G2 was being utterly unwilling to adapt their offense when their shooting was off allowing the Knicks back into the game.
