As someone who is big on Hate watching these playoffs have been absolutely perfect seeing the Lakers lose and now the Celtics

[Agimat]

OG + Mikal, defensive duo, with Brunson as the finisher

[TOStateofMind]

love seeing boston choke haha

wild playoffs continue

[Michael Bradley]

I hate both the Knicks and Celtics roughly the same, but it irritates me that Masai may have helped the Knicks make a potential Finals run with that trade. OG is a difference maker. Should have traded him out West.

[WaltFrazier]

First playoff team to come back from down 20 two games in a row

[KL78192020]

these have been one of the better playoffs, almost all games going down to the buzzer

[Agimat]

this Celts Knicks series reminds me of rabbit vs. turtle

[Nebuchadnezzar]

Really feels like the TWO excuse train is ramping up the Pacers hate for the purposes of hating on Pascal. Face it, Scottie, Gary and filler for Durant was the one move that needed to be made. We would probably be champs by now.

We would have been left with ZERO bench/depth.

FVV/OG/Durant/Poeltl and...? Boucher? Thad? Precious? Flynn? Birch?

That's not a championship team.

And Siakam

[Basketball_Jones]

What the hell did I just miss? I just assumed Celtics would route them this game arrgh

[dafan590]

The Knicks and the Leafs are winning in the playoffs.... am I dreaming?

[raptorstime]

rooting for og.

[WuTang_CMB]

Leafs win and BOS loses lol

Masai gonna get the itch to make a move

[Clutch0z24]

Playoffs are wild....Knicks are actually surprising me i didn't think they would be ahead of Celtics esp winning 2 road games.

[Clutch0z24]

No lead is safe but Joker like i said is going to have to have historic games this whole series for Nuggets to have a chance.

[kalel123]

Wow, both home teams in the East down 0-2. That's something new.

I realized, I'm ok with NY going all the way. Better than other options in the East. Or West other than maybe OKC because of SGA.

However, I see similar scenario playing where NY will eventually break down in the playoffs and Indiana will be there to benefit even if they advance. And a West team will come out on top in that case.

Yeah....Barring injuries....Whichever team wins this OKC/Nuggets series are prolly the Champs this year....I don't see any east team beating them.

I really hate this version of the Celtics (Tatum is the cringe GOAT) and have something of a soft spot for the Knicks (their '99 run captivated me as a youngin'), so this is fantastic.

Maybe things will settle down and it will just be OKC vs. Boston in the finals anyway, but these playoffs are softening me up to the idea that we should just get back "in the mix" and stop worrying about having a guy who could be the best player on a championship team.

[Basketball_Jones]

Celtics playing soft! Knicks were allowed to foul and Celtics didn’t adjust to that defensive intensity. Bridges and OG acquisitions paying dividends here this is the series they got them for.

Tatum choking pretty hard. That last shot was one for the ages.

[CPT]

Seems like a home team might finally get one.
