So then when it's 2-0 what happens? We just bump it to 4-2? It'll never end with these haters that have no hope in sight

How can anyone fear embarrassment and be a Nets fan?

I don't think the Knicks will pull the series upset, but seeing Brown really playing cautious of his knee and KP not healthy either makes it possible for sure. It can be a game of a health and the Celtics health isn't good right now.

The Celtics should still win the series as they are the superior team but they have played low IQ basketball to start these POs. Porzingis is cooked, mentally and maybe physically. He looks like a newborn giraffe out there. And nobody leaves like that in the middle of a PO game unless they are really hurt and by all accounts he wasn't. They are better off shutting him down or at least bringing him off the bench in a lower profile role. He's the kind of guy if he can get hot one game you ride him but bench him if not in the POs. He's a bench player in the playoffs, he's not reliable. More concerning are the Jays and their low IQ decision making. If that continues, NY can definitely win the series. Would like to see White/Holiday handling the ball way more instead of just spotting up for 3's. Get the ball to the Jays in the paint and let the guards handle.

If the games are close, Brunson has the balls and talent to steal games.

Is that even a shot at knicks fans? Losing meaningful games hurts and the knicks have a lot of fans. I understand meaningful games and lots of fans are both things, that dont apply to the nets. So you might think that was a bar. But it really wasnt :D
