3-1 is not insurmountable. If any team can, it's this historical Boston team.

So are (most of) us.

That was a great game with two elite stars going off.

1 turnover considering how much he handles the ball is the most impressive stat

26-10 free throw advantage for the Celtics before Brunson got fouled at the very end to extend the game.
Remember when Kobe elbowed Jameer in the chin so hard Jameer was knocked down and sent skidding across the floor?

Jayson Tatum really a good dude who doesn’t get in any trouble doesn’t bother anyone, he just love to hoop and people hate his guts.…it’s sad. Lots of miserable haters out there prolly rejoicing over this. Really sad.

Hate to see the game taken away from him even if it’s just momentarily. Hate to see a HOF prime potentially ruined.

My bad. I thought Tatum's ankle was stepped on but he clearly pulled up in pain just after he pushed off the foot going after the ball.

That takes nothing away from the Knicks, mind, yet another comeback win. Resilient, balanced, poised.

Great great win, too bad the league had to mess the evening with the rigged draft lottery.

Knicks deserve their series win regardless, winning the first two games away at a higher seed is very impressive.

We are all just gutted and devastated by Tatum's injury he may never be as good/the same player again as Celtics fans.

We ain't taking any credit away from the Knicks, you guys have been absolutely amazing and shown so much ticker and courage in these playoffs.

And no one is blaming the Knicks for Tatum's injury either. We are all just pissed off and sad about that.

But kudos to the Knicks. They fully deserve all their flowers.

What's up with all of these achilles tears man?.. sht is crazy. Hopefully a speedy recovery for Tatum. Also I hope it's just a really bad calf strain/tear.

We’re back to early 2000’s era where the western conference champs destroy the eastern conference champs. It’s a foregone conclusion.


What? thats an amazing series.

The worst series is Houston vs anybody.

Pacers have one of the best offenses in the league and Knicks is overall a really good team.


It’s still a hypothetical matchup at this point. But yeah I agree, Knicks v/s Pacers would be amazing

Pacers vs Knicks. The battle of the mids. Playing for the honor to lose to OKC in the finals.

Get rid of conferences already.

A reminder of how fragile things can be at a moment's notice. Boston was supposed to be an unbeatable dynasty and now we are looking at them probably losing this series and very likely missing their best player all of next year too.

Man thats tough for Tatum. He looks devastated in the clips they showed.

Can't take anything for granted in the NBA.
