That takes nothing away from the Knicks, mind, yet another comeback win. Resilient, balanced, poised.


The typical verified docs on twitter are speculating Achilles. Hope they are wrong but it doesn’t look good

Knicks deserve their series win regardless, winning the first two games away at a higher seed is very impressive.

We are all just gutted and devastated by Tatum's injury he may never be as good/the same player again as Celtics fans.

We ain't taking any credit away from the Knicks, you guys have been absolutely amazing and shown so much ticker and courage in these playoffs.

And no one is blaming the Knicks for Tatum's injury either. We are all just pissed off and sad about that.

But kudos to the Knicks. They fully deserve all their flowers.


I'm sorry about Tatum man...he was killing us. Can't lie, it's hard to celebrate fully seeing that.

Hope Tatum is okay. Im not a Celtics fan but the dude gets more hate than he deserves. Praying it's not an achilles, that would be horrible.

The Villanova trio are doing their thing. Just gotta tip your cap to them.

So are (most of) us.

That was a great game with two elite stars going off.


Appreciate your sentimonies Big Guy.

Good luck to the Knicks in the ECF (although I will be rooting for The Pacers cause of Larry Bird and former Celtic Rick Carlisle)

If Tatum's injury isn't an Achilles, I am going to celebrate hard even if we are done for the season.

We’re back to early 2000’s era where the western conference champs destroy the eastern conference champs. It’s a foregone conclusion.
What?

I'm always amazed when people state things as if they are fact.

Barring a titanic KD to GSW-type situation I think the days of seeing repeat champions may be over. Getting through two straight regular and post seasons with a healthy squad and winning back-to-back is too grueling nowadays.

I think that was before he realized Tatum was hurt.


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


Not watching live yet said lol Tatum at the exact time he went down, then said you were laughing at the turnover. So which is it?

What? thats an amazing series.

The worst series is Houston vs anybody.

Pacers have one of the best offenses in the league and Knicks is overall a really good team.


It’s still a hypothetical matchup at this point. But yeah I agree, Knicks v/s Pacers would be amazing


Totally forgot...THEY HAVE THE STORY NARRATIVE AS WELL!

Reggie V Spike.

It's gonna be heated.
