THERE WILL BE A GAME 7

**** the **** Knicks!
**** the flopper!
**** the entire team!
**** MSG!
**** every one of their fans - especially Spike Lee & the courtside celebrity scumbag group!

Be perfect AGAIN, JB!
Score 30+ again, Derrick.
10 blocks for Luke.
Sit Zinger - he is clearly ill.


CELTIC PRIDE!

G-d bless JT!

Honestly I think Boston can do it, BUT, I fear the Refs and Brunson's flops more than the actual Knick players. Regardless of what happens, I am so in Love with the Fight they put up. If they fight anywhere near as good again, Win or lose I will be so Proud!!

I've watched enough basketball to know this is where it likely ends. However, we are playing the Knicks so if there was ever a time for an exception it's against them.

40-50 3s should be expected.

Cs will not change who they are.

If the Cs shoot 38% from 3pt land, I think Cs win.

while we're on the knicks forum... processing

i want to come here and take my hat off. as a fan of basketball, that was damn glorious last night. the game is better for it.

props. good luck the rest of the way, come what may.

(some of y'all might remember me from our last playoff matchup. i was around the whole time chopping it up with y'all and loved it. didn't think to come back until after game 2 and held off because i didn't want to look like a troll. OGs know i love and respect this forum. y'all were classy af that whole time.)

this has to be the way. we have to prove to y'all we're capable of doing something about that.

plus the toughness and never say die on top of the talent and precision. sheesh. things got real in a hurry. life comes at you fast.

all that said, every game is different. should be fun.

Euphemistic castration as well!

I said it before in the last thread - we are the champs and will not go quietly. Late in playoff series is when the screws start to tighten and this stuff really matters.

Won't be easy but we can absolutely win this. C's in 7

The first playoff game I ever attended was at MSG between NYK and Boston in 1984. Bernard King had two fingers taped up and still dropped 44? points against Kevin McHale. Bird had a 36 14 and 10 game IIRC. Amazingly still one of the best games I have ever seen up close.

Just take it to Game 7. Please!

I still have the Celtics winning in 5. No one can take that away from me.

This is their adjustment game to JB led Celtics. I think we will find it harder to find buckets but as long as we play defense like we did in the second half yesterday we should be in a close game and have a chance to steal it. And even if we lose, I'm glad we got yesterday's win at home

I've restrained myself lol but it must be a **** show on your board right now

Not to downplay the situation, but in the unlikely event that the Celtics can win three straight while facing elimination in a playoff series for the sceond time in three years, there's got to be some satisfaction for the Knicks at what they accomplished already.

Just play kornet and we're back in the (real) garden on monday night

it's honestly better than i expected. i think most are not getting too high or low just yet.

i have plenty of appreciation for so far. but the expectations got elevated after that first trip to boston, so i think it'd be a long way down for a lot of us.

plus the conversations about thibs and mazzulla are exact mirrors, which i find amazing and hilarious.

i was alive but far too young, so my experience with that is old footage and conversations. but just the legacy of that series is in my fanhood DNA. so glad you got to experience that in-person. amazing!

one last thought before i leave you for a bit to continue deservedly stomping our nuts.

how does victory cigar not go to luke kornet? bro channeled bill russell out there last night. it was frightening and stunning to watch.

Funny part is the arc of the coaches - Doc Rivers was adored when he was here, then he left and lost all his (as the kids say) aura. Then for awhile when Thibs was doing well in Chicago the storyline became Doc Rivers' success here was buoyed by Thibs as the asst. coach. and he was the real brain trust not Doc. Then Thibs became the guy to come under fire after all of that.
