2025 NBA PLAYOFFS East Semifinals: #2 Boston Celtics vs #3 New York Knicks (NYK leads 2-0)

[Infinite Llamas]

Boston seems to play better on the road…

Maybe it’s just the broadcasts but the Garden doesn’t seem as loud as it used to be. Maybe it’s the result of ticket prices being too high and the real fanatics being priced out? It’s weird. There have been some points this seasons where the “let’s go Celtics” chants have been louder on the road than at home.

Gm7 for the Celtics. Doubt their live or die by the 3 strategy will work four times in a row.

…anyways have fun gang. I’m down with my gassy little angel for the weekend, so won’t be posting as much til game 4.

Hopefully by then we are either preparing our brooms, or the Celtics go supernova while taking the same dumb shots they have been and assume they were right about just getting unlucky for 2 straight games. Letting us complete the gentleman’s sweep without them ever realizing what they were doing wrong

You will be with us in spirit big dawg, good mojo, I don't think either team will have played in a louder game then what's about to happen in about 6.5 hours(yes that includes the finals games for Boston) MSG has a different buzz and the crowd knows there's blood in the water, look at Denver last night.

This game is just the worst scheduling. Terrible start time and because it’s on ABC I either have to watch it live with commercials (eww) or wait for it to hit league pass *sigh*

At least the little poop monster’s coos are extra cute today

Leaving my 2 little monsters with my wife and getting together w a couple buddies to watch the win, had to watch the last 2 min of game 2 on my iPhone while puttin my son to sleep

Yeah this isn't true at all lol, I was at games 1-2-5 and it's loud, idk if there will be a louder venue then MSG today and I promise you won't hear any Celtic fans

I’d love to know where the Knicks point differential of these first 8 games for them stacks up in history.

Outside of their opening 11pt win, both wins and losses have been incredibly close. That’s not a knock on them either, it’s pretty impressive and has to be an anomaly in the 3pt era.

[LFGK]

At some point Knicks gotta be given credit, holding teams to the lowest 3PT% thus far(and below their reg season%)

[EricAnderson]

As a Knicks fan I’m optimistic but not overly confident yet. I expect the Celtics to play better and I know Tatum will eventually have a monster game I just hope it’s game 4 instead of 3

At the same time the Knicks haven’t played an A game and Brunson is due for a monster game

I also think the Celtics aren’t close to 100%. Porzingis obviously but I think Brown is compromised a little as well

Can't wait for this game.

I like both teams, but I have to say that I think it would be pretty amazing if the Knicks could make a serious playoff run.

Just hope it's a good game.

Early start, great for us in Europe. I hope its a close and interesting game since these early ones often tend to be blowouts.

AI couldn't find a discarded Brunson jersey.

Putting this game on a 3:30 is criminal!

Cmon man this game should have been the night game. NBA always screws up the scheduling smh
