We've reached a point now, where we're ignoring fouls on Knicks players to push "soft" agendas after a win. Truly the darkest of timelines, we used to be a society.


Could be gassing up Brunson, or og, or mikal's defense, or deuce giving us good bench mins, or if he wants to complain the 3rd foul on kat was susspect but instead he wants to call kat softand post horford highlights.

We need you, like the Cs need Tatum, to be better meLo.


The NBA has ruled that this was marginal hugging.

It will remain hard to win against these refs, and I’ll never get used to it.

is that other piece a guy that is currently shooting 19% from 3 in the playoffs?

even when KAT is not super effective he also has to be guarded at all times opening up a lot for Brunson and others in the paint. That alone holds value. Kinda show why our metrics are much higher with him on the floor than off. We are a NET 43 pts better with KAT on the floor than off. The only other player in the playoffs higher than that is Josh Hart who has been amazing NET 73 pts.


“Various podcasts” said he’s bad though lol

The Celtics had him boxed up all season on offense, he picked the perfect time to have his breakout game. He's scored on better defenders (Camara, Amen, Dort etc) all year, so it never really made sense why he couldn't get going against them.


All we need from him (or Mikal) is to outplay Jaylen Brown, because Brunson can go head to head with Tatum in production.


All we gotta do is put in simple actions to free them up or switch their primary defenders.

Yeah crunch time is Brunson 1 v 1 time. I have no issue with it. But getting Wingstop open looks and driving opportunities throughout the game would make this offense so much more explosive and it rewards them for their hard work defensively

I would surrender a kidney just to see Josh screening off ball for the rest of the playoffs

Mitch was Mic’d up. Rick Brunson was coaching him up to stay on screens then roll instead of slip screens. Really good sign.

A precious advocate in the 2020 draft and fan of a guy who got benched for precious because he goes 3-10 from the FT line are trying to tear down our glorious all star starter and future hall of fame center. Tired of this. End of the line. The buck stops here

Another thing about this so called expert analysis is when they say “why did Boston take so many 3s just drive.”

For starters, Boston was 29th in the NBA in team drives per game and are 15th among the 16 teams in the playoffs so far. They don’t drive period.

Their entire DNA as a team is to shoot high volume 3s at a high clip while delivering back breaking 3s off long rebound 2nd chance opportunities.

Whatever though, we won. That’s what’s important.

i don't think anybody here is saying kat had a good game. he's had 2 subpar outings in a row now though, so hopefully he's due for at least the mean

Thibs the beloved disagrees. At 1:50 He went out of his way to say KAT was huge for us.

This shows the previously unreleased reasons why Porzingis left the game and didn't want to return.

The words don't tell the whole story but the pictures do.


The Boston Celtics’ clean bill of health lasted less than a half.

Big man Kristaps Porzingis exited Game 1 of the Celtics’ second-round playoff series against the New York Knicks on Monday with 7:34 remaining in the second quarter and did not return.

Here are 3 reasons why:
