I haven't placed a sports bet since the 2012 Finals. I like to keep my mouth and my money separate.

And I voted Celtics in 4, not realizing NYK has the greatest playoff winner (percentage-wise) currently in the NBA on their roster.

P.J. Tucker is worth a win, and that win has happened. Celtics in 5.


I did not know P.J is on the Knicks , otherwise I would vote Celtics in 5 too

It would be pretty cool to see all the lower seeds win again.

Game 2 Odds:

Knicks +10.0 vs Celtics

You’d think Vegas would have adjusted already and show respect for the Knicks after their impressive G1 win but there’s also no little chance that Vegas is wrong so expect a Celtics win via blowout? (Nuggets also +10 tonight and i have exactly the same thoughts)

Be realistic, no way this Knicks team just fold. Boston wins by 19 pts.

Either sends us back home with a split. It'll be closer than that though.

You don’t believe anymore ?

The closer it gets to the game fans start feeling weakness in their knees , breathing speeds up , sweaty palms , then realization hits "damn we can’t beat this Boston team ever again "

For most happens before the game , for stubborn after first quarter :lol:

Brunson will kill them on each drive, PJ Tucker is still alive, we've got Arky on our side...Knicks in 5.

Yeah Knicks will lose. I just hope it’s not a blowout. At least somewhat close
