They keep saying "We've been here before." If they make it to the ECF, will they just not talk to each other?

For god's sakes I wish the Celtics would take it to the hoop or at least try a mid range shot

Celtics falling apart a bit. Knicks have an opportunity to capitalize.

They'll eventually fall, unironically. They're mostly wide open

I swear every game against the Knicks is a rock fight, the more ugly is gets the better for the Knicks.

Anunoby taking over.
From a fundamental standpoint it is better for a man to have nothing but be under the protection of Jesus Christ than for him to have everything he could ever want yet be completely without.

The Celtics might reach 60 three point attempts in regulation. This sport is wild these days
