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

Chances the Celtics come back and win this series?

Before that game I still felt there was close to 0% chance the Celtics lose the series

[Mamba81p]

Boston got another 20 point lead.

Can they keep it this time?

It feels like they are in a worse position today than in the first 2 games. They built this lead on insane 3pt shooting, which can easily revert in the second half.
But they could also keep shooting like this for the next 4 games and win them all.

Anyone seen OG? Is he still in the locker room?

[okboomer]

It's infuriating that it took til the start of game 3 for the Celtics to realize to attack KAT.

Lol this how I felt about Cavs vs Pacers tbh. Just worried about Boston’s execution down the stretch of tight games

Something with breathing/fatigue.
Been taking IV's and some kinda boosters for 2 month. Some non-covid crap
Crashed body week ago for some reason

Damn. I've had this since November. It literally just came back last Sunday after being gone for well over a month. I hope he gets over it. It sucks.

So what is it?
People saying some wild sh*t what he has

Well, on my end it feels like walking pneumonia. It's not COVID, but it's an upper respiratory illness. So it's a ninety degree day here and I still have a hoodie on because there is a consistent chill on my chest and an increase in mucus. KP might not be as bad as mine and he has better healthcare options I'm sure, but this thing has just been coming and going, without any regard for what I do to remedy it, whether it's rest or holistic medicine.

Celtics superb defensively in the 1st half.

Because OG is so good defending on ball, the Celtics are playing through Jalen Brown in the half court and the Knicks have no answer. Brown in the low post with Tatum operating out on top is a fruitful set because both players are comfortable playing in those areas of the floor. That is one of their best answers to their offensive droughts when the 3s aren’t going in.

Knicks are too reliant on Brunson to create offense. They need KAT to establish himself so that they can run offense through him. Celtics might be best off letting Brunson go one on one all night and that’s probably a strategy that they will live with

[ChumboChappati]

Brown is a great player. Its a disgrace that some Celtics fans put him down to shield Tatum.

Ingest antioxidants and as much vitamin c and d your body can handle. Green juice instead of lunch. You will be better in 7 days

You're right and Brown is looking spry for a dude who's about to have a knee surgery in a month or two. It hasn't been the case so far in the playoffs. He's looked average athletically.

I'll try it. I've been doing the vitamin c. I'll add the green juice.

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

Why?

Wdym why?

It is his new celebration. idk man.

Dude hurt his wrist and turned it into his post-3 celebration.

Chances the Celtics come back and win this series?

100%

Bro the question should be if I can come back or it’s too close of a game ?

[dockingsched]

It’s absolutely insane the Celtics are down 0-2 against an okay Knicks team. I didn’t even think the Knicks played well in the first 2 games, the Celtics shot so ass to blow 2 20 point leads at home.

Just speaks to how embarrassing a guy like Tatum has been. If Boston shockingly loses 2 more games this series it would be on the back of Tatum’s failures.

Add some zinc supplements. Vitamic C + Zinc is the wonder duo.

[BigDan245]

Boston controls the outcomes out these games. The Knicks have played the same game in all 3 games. They can't play any better against this team.

Now Boston could go cold again so they aren't done, but it's out of their control.

[baldur]

Boston should use the 24 second to take a shot, not in 5 seconds. Geee. Can't they learn a lesson?

[Woodsanity]

Lets go 25 point comeback please

[picc]

Uh oh.

The Chucking begins.

[Tim_Hardawayy]

It still feels like the Knicks can come back. They probably won't, but why the hell is Boston taking awful step back 3's when they're up 30? The discipline is awful.
