Brown played smart tonight. No hero ball. Awesome to see. Luke with the game of his life just when we needed it

That's why it's crazy if you don't believe JB is a legit top 20 player in the NBA today.

I remember a poster laughed at me when I said Luke had become more valuable than Softzingis saying I was a hater. No, I just have eyes and could tell he made the team worse. Did I think it would get this bad for KP? No but most here would agree they would rather have Luke on this roster than Softzingis next season. The Celtics would have won this series 4-1 had KP not played a minute but here we are likely going to lose to a far inferior team because of terrible coaching and our superstar likely gone for the duration of next season.

Maybe you forgot how badly Tatum and Brown turtled but I didn't.
Yeah the knicks are not any good. It doesn’t help though when you have a player m.i.a who almost averages 20 points a game.
The series was over before the injury....
Tatum blew game 1 and 2 with BS shots. Brown also blew game 1 without even getting a shot off.
Let's not lose the narrative here. The Celtics put them self in this position because they turtled. Not because tatum blew his leg out.
True the Tatum injury is just icing on the wounds. Knicks are not in the same league as us but we choked.

It just hurts they're gonna blow a series against a team this mid.

You think they lose game 6? I would feel confident if KP was healthy and providing scoring but this guy is done.

I doubt you're getting 50 from White and Brown again. KP needs to show the **** up. Just one game in 2 months would suffice.
But ya. They lose big.
Here's the thing. Even without Tatum I would of picked the Celtics in this series. But not without Tatum down 3 to 1 after blowing the first two games at home.
It's just insurmountable at this point. I would be way more shock if the Celtics won this series at this point then I would have if you had told me the Knicks would have won the series before it started. I just don't see it.

I hope Celts do that. Brown would foul out guarding Brunson.
You reverse jinxed Brunson. He was the one that fouled out. Brown covered Brunson well when he was on him and only ended up with two fouls overall.

If you want to use Brown properly and win the game, tell him to forget about offense and put him on Brunson for 48 minutes. Mano a mano.
26 points, 8 rebounds, 12 assists, 9-17 shooting, 3-5 three point shooting and a team high +28.
