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

Well, damn. The Tatum injury sucks. But it was cool seeing the Knicks starters all go bonkers.

Hope JT is alright, that it's far more minor than it looked and all of that, though.

Knicks vs Pacers has 7 games written on it.

Clamped him in the playoffs last season....

Let's see it all play out. He don't have gobert there to help him and Mitchell is a foul machine.

Mitchell ain't no joke...and he hasn't fouled out in ages.

When was the last time he had to guard jokic?

[PhilBlackson]

Props Knicks, I definitely doubted ya'll, even if Tatum was injured.

I want the Knicks to stomp out the pacers. Lol but I just don't seem them beating most of those western conference teams in a 7 game series. Again we'll see how it all goes.

Boston not having depth at the 5 position or working the ball inside the paint has been bad basketball. Boston had all year to fix this issue before the trade deadline.

Are you talking about Indy or nyk? I'm confused a bit. I don't think the Knicks or indy match up well with either of those 3 teams. How confident are you in kat guarding jokic in a 7 game series?

My brother in Christ what are you talking about? Mitch has clamped Joel who is more athletic then Jokic, don't kind yourself Knicks are favorites over anyone in the west not named OKC and I don't think OKC is getting out of the west, first things first get win 4

If both teams are healthy all series that series does not go past 5 games, NYK smoke them

I mean they went 2-0 vs Denver this season but Denver beat them last season. If you wanna go with a 2 game sample size by all means. What they did years back don't really matter right now.

[Aventador]

i guess ppl are wondering what would've happened if Jayson didn't get hurt. I. GUESS. WE. WILL. NEVER. KNOW.

[robillionaire]

Honestly, I think it’s pretty clear the Pistons were the better team. I mean they were a tougher opponent. They at least took us to 6 games. This looks like it might be a gentleman’s sweep. But I can say the Pistons weren’t 2nd half choke artists. The Celtics should explore a trade for Dennis Shroeder in the offseason if they need to add a guy who hits big shots with the game on the line

Let's see how it goes. Heat fans had supreme confidence vs Denver as well 2 finals ago and we know how that went. Dallas fans had a ton of confidence vs Boston last finals and we see how that went. The underdog team rarely gets over the hump. I'm just going by history

Not with OG.

[Green89]

Celtics will win game 5. They were 8-1 without Tatum this year (I am not counting a late season loss where they started their 2nd and third string bench guys). Not so sure they can win any more than that, though.

Denver would be the underdog...

I don't see it that way but we all have our opinions. Vs Minny or gsw sure but not vs OKC or Denver.

Had to record the game. Just got to the end. Jesus Christ, that blows.
