2025 NBA PLAYOFFS East Semifinals: #2 Boston Celtics vs #3 New York Knicks (NYK leads 2-1)

[Nuntius]

Have you ever watched a basketball playoff series?

Yeah, it's weird. It's like when a team wins the first couple of games people immediately assume that it's gonna be a sweep or something. They assume that the other team will just lay down.

It's really silly. Boston and Cleveland were the favourites. They are gonna do everything in their power to not fall behind 3-0.

They will try

I mean, yeah. It's not a given they will succeed. The Knicks are damn good. But you just knew that they are gonna come out swinging.

Very much shades of CLE-IND. The top seed after a brutal loss came in locked in. Hopefully knicks can get it to <15 before the half

[picc]

Brunson getting shut down 1v1 is a travesty if you're supposed to be an elite shot creator

When its a 5 point game at 4 mins left in the 4th, those shots will be going in.

Pacers game from last night 2.0. these series could flip in a dime for both the Knicks & pacers quick.

[Statlanta]

It sucks that I have to root for a serial pump fake foul merchant like Brunson

[Castle Black]

Pritchard is a monster off the bench. Well-deserved 6th Man of the Year.

[Jellybeans]

I wonder how many years Porzingis has left of NBA basketball. Seems like he is nearing his career's end or a need to transition to a bench player, if he wants to stay healthy.

He was fine all season long until he got sick and now they reported hes still dealing with something 2 month later

[picc]

I desperately want the Knicks to lose but the Celtics blowing a third consecutive 20+ lead would actually be worth it.

[sp6r=underrated]

Shot went in but I wish KAT attacked. Usually refs will give you the foul on a quick 2nd attack.

Good 3 brunson

[Mk0]

Celtics attacking Brunson, forcing the double team and then kicking it to the wide open corner 3 is a MUCH better game plan than running a Tatum/Brown ISO and chucking a stepback 3.

[Else_where]

Tatum playing great

[azcatz11]

What is the symbol Tatum holds up after a 3? Is he throwing up the rock like jay z?

[Upperclass]

.

[Woodsanity]

Can we get a 3rd 20 point comeback?

[2weekswithpay]

Kat needs to step up on screens. You can't run drop now that Tatum is hitting his 3s.

[rockmanslim]

On offense it looks like each Knick player has no idea what the play is, no idea if they should pass it or not. Every pass is a tense action thriller

[picc]

Tracy Morgan is eating in 100% of the shots I see him. Bros chicken tender/minute rate is ATG level.

[Chuck Everett]

I wonder how many years Porzingis has left of NBA basketball. Seems like he is nearing his career's end or a need to transition to a bench player, if he wants to stay healthy.

He was fine all season long until he got sick and now they reported hes still dealing with something 2 month later

So the sickness is what he's still dealing with? Or is it an injury?

[Marvin Martian]

Tatum still can't dribble

[Mk0]

What is the symbol Tatum holds up after a 3? Is he throwing up the rock like jay z?

He holds his wrist that got hurt in the first round
