Aight. I would like to say you had a good run, but you're really bad at trolling.

You should try just being chill and nice. It's way easier.

Just let Arky do his thing man. We're rolling.

Two words

Obi Toppin

That ECF series will be over for Indiana faster then you'll be able to type out Toppin

That was like Cade's first playoff game ever.

Give yourselves some credit. Your Pistons were tough as hell.

The east is going to be such a bloodbath with the Pistons & Magic coming for us in the top 4. Giannis & Joel are going to have a really tough time staying out of the play-in.

So the team with the best record out of the remaining teams outside of OKC....the team that is 1 win away from decisively beating the defending champs....can't beat a midget old Warriors team, or a Minnesota team that looks kinda mid...or even the Nuggets dont look as talented IMO...?

Well you are entitled to your opinion.

Like us, Minnesota has been as good as they've had to be. I think a Knicks-Wolves series would be dynamite.

I think Minny would get Blown off the court versus the Celtics. They aint like us.

One of the few times Tatum shows he's not carried by his supporting cast(2022 ECF Game 6) and he hurts himself ending his run as an injury resilient player. You can't make this stuff up.

It’s to rule out another soft tissue injury or to see if it was a grade 3 level calf tear,
It’s the Achilles man

Rooting for you Knicks fans to win it all this year. Would be something to see. Deserve it for taking out the champs.

Hate to see the Tatum injury though. That really sucks.

It's very hard to repeat as champions and this just isn't Boston's year due to injuries to key players.

Brown is going to have a knee surgery, I think.
KP's respiratory issue is just freaking weird... dude was doing okay 4 weeks ago and actually had a great game against the Knicks at MSG. He doesn't look right now and hasn't looked right for at least 2 weeks. No idea what this respiratory illness is and how it has lasted so long, but he looks nothing like he did in the regular season when he was healthy. I was hoping for KP to have good series cause it's a good matchup for him all around, but he has played around ~20 mins a game and just hasn't been able to do much.

we also dont know if Knicks do or don't beat celtics last year if they were fully healthy either.

I actually have had one lasting 1 week and it's stll bad. There's something REAL bad going around.

OG already had a big game, Hart in game 2, back to back 21 pt game from KAT. Brunson will bring his 25 pts.
It’s time to Bridges to get hot, not necessarily 30 pts but they will need about 23 from him.
Maybe McBride hit 3-4 crucial 3’s, OG rediscover his touch with 16.

oh really? can somebody check the box score please

This guy just gets Hoops and has Hoops blood in his veins.

Also one of my favourite actors and directors of all time

99 % of Knicks have been very kind and decent about Tatum's serious injury and it's greatly appreciated.

Right now I feel devastated still...

KG Leonard · Post #954 » by **KG Leonard** » Tue May 13, 2025 7:46 am

I'm just depressed.

I rather lose this series badly than lose Tatum like this. I truly hope he can come back strong and quickly from this injury. The idea of this changing the rest of his career is very scary and so sad for 27 year old barely into his prime.

Exciting days for Knicks/Indy/Wolves having chance to win the title but this morning up here is the bleakest day in my eyes in 18 years I have been a Celtics fan.

What offense Celtics even run, they just shoot contested 3s. This team is freaking emberassing.

That plus Mazzoula has sacrificed the defence of the last two years because fast 3pt means the defence can't be set and prepped well. Before his 3s above anything philosophy, Celtics defense was always #1 in playoffs, 2-3 in regular season. His idea that we can outscore any teams with 3s has made the defence lazy, slow. I'm more annoyed with the fact NYK score 120+ points.

I was laughing at the turnover. Chill out dude.

Sure mate. It was Browns turnover not Tatum

You can search his posts he hasn’t made a Tatum post in a 2 years and the broadcast didn’t even focus on Tatum until after the Celtics inbounded.

I disagree with cupcakesnake’s decision

Pacers- Knicks Eastern Conference Finals.

Did hoop on Delorean and landed in 2000?

Who wins Game 4?
