PLAYOFFS: Rnd 2, Gm 5 – Knicks @ Celtics – 7:00PM, Wed, May 14, 2025

I expect a big game from JB.

JB needs to show you something. Idk. Could be his last name as celtics who knows. The nba needs to do us a solid.

Somehow so sadly fitting that JT did it trying to cover for another bad JB turnover.

We really lost a Playoff series to the Knicks. We’re so dog water

[phincsfan]

Watch Joe plug everybody in early and the C's win easily. People will say they stepped it up for JT, but in reality Joe could have plugged a few players in during both series and the team would have been fine and may have looked even better.

[exculpatory]

CONFIRMED

THEY REPAIRED IT TODAY.

[The Corey's]

It blows my mind he got hurt on that play. Really thought he was mailing it in.

Blow it up.

Season needs to end. Fun regular season. Disaster playoffs. From contenders to probably having a major rebuild. As much as we all like Tatum/Brown...they are simply no dogs. Solid all star players but far from any top 5 conversation.

Just goes to show how worthless the regular season is. This team was exposed by the trashy knicks.

Not like JT wasn’t set for 50 before the injury last game…. The Cavs Game 7 as a rookie, Bucks Game 6 2022. 6ers Game 7 2023…. 31 and 11 to seal the title last season. He’s a dog and then some when it matters.

Migjt have to start looking at the 2026 nba draft prospects. I see a long year next season.

We really lost a Playoff series to the Knicks. We’re so dog water

Mitchell Robinson was always the x factor for me. I wasn't talking junk to Knicks fans, I said he could be a difference. I'm still tuning in to see how Brown and Porzingis play off each other. I'd like to see Joe throw Scheierman out there. His physicality and ball mover ability fill needs with Tatum out.

[ConstableGeneva]

I lost all will to live. Hopefully our players aren't as weak as I am.

[Mr_Mojo_Risin]

While it’s almost certainly not going to happen, I hope the team has the mentality they can still win this series.

I want Joe to play Rico and some spot minutes for Craig and try Queta on Robinson early.

We desperately need JB to keep his head and get off the ball early and not try to be the hero. KP needs to find his 3 and Hauser needs to play.

At the very least it could be interesting.

Regardless of result I hope the crowd cheer them off as the champions they are.

[ryan in Maine]

We can win this game.

To each their own my man.

Somehow so sadly fitting that JT did it trying to cover for another bad JB turnover.

As someone who violently shakes his head whenever JB turns the ball over, I'd never blame him for this. These things happen, as we Celtics fans know all too well (KG, Tony Allen, Hayward come to mind).

I expect a gutsy win tomorrow, or maybe a catastrophic loss, not sure.

[Green89]

We were 8-1 without Tatum this year, not counting one other loss at the end of the year where we played our 2nd and 3rd stringers only.

We can and will win this. Not going out like this, not on our floor. We have enough talent to continue this series. 1 win at a time.

[nykinoz]

This series is still very much alive, sure we have the upper hand, but it ain't over.

[return2glory]

They can win this game, even without Tatum. JB, AH, DW, JH, KP, and PP are all champions, they aren't going to roll over

My prediction is PP goes off and we force game 6

They rolled over in games 1 and 2, when the series was decided. Their hearts were taken out of them. Now with Tatum out for about a year, they are devastated. It was over then. It's over now. Joe has no clue. I was calling for Joe to bench KP for the entire game 4. Instead he plays him the most minutes KP has played in the series and gave us nothing.

JB is hurt. Al is old. I predicted he would have a bad game 4 because he is at the point where he needs two days off, not one.
Jrue has looked like a borderline starter all season instead of a borderline all-star. KP has been awful in the playoffs.

Hope your prediction is correct. Lot of people here were predicting a sweep or Celtics in 5. Knicks had the better team with Brown playing on a bad knee and Jrue looking old and struggling with hamstring issues. KP was a joke in the Orlando series and even worse in this one.

You meant to say they I assume
