Just goes to show how worthless the regular season is. This team was exposed by the trashy knicks.


You understand the Knicks added KAT and Bridges this year, right? They already had a solid team last season and added two really good players. So, they aren't trashy.

You know that Brown hurt his knee towards the end of the season and he's nowhere near the player he is, right? We all know that Jrue fell off a cliff this season and wasn't close to being the player he was last year. We also knew Al was a year older. We saw in the 1st round that KP can't handle the rough play of the playoffs because as he has no lower body strength and can't post or rebound for a 7'3 player. His illness was also making him a half a step slow on defense. Wagner blew by him all series long in the 1st round.

Good news everyone, I have just returned from the future.....


Actually, no, I didn't, but I would like to see us fight a bit and maybe win another game or two. I still haven't ruled out this series yet, but I know I am hoping against hope.

Play Queta tomorrow. Its not like anythings going to change if he gets abused on switches, that’s happening to everyone anyways. At least Robinson won’t destroy us on the boards

Gotta win this one for JT. Team is playing now for pride and their fallen teammate.

Get it to Game 6 and let the chips fall where they made.

Celtics win this game they win series imo. Maybe they can rally around Tatum and get to ecf. I would die for that right now. Or, they ought be shocked. But I strongly feel like they have enough talent to get there.

Talent has never been the question for this team for about 8 seasons now (with the exception of 2021).

Not sure why people can't see this. Especially the so called coach. We aren't getting much from Jrue either. I loved what Jrue brought to this team last season.

They get smashed in 6 if they somehow win game 5. 3 in a row against the knicks even with Tatum was unlikely.

Just win game 5. Anything can happen in game 6 or 7. This all on Joe and Tatum. If we blew them out games 1 and. 2, and game 4, JT wouldn’t have been injured. Stupid showing from defending champs. Played soft and scared.

If the Celtics are to comeback and win this series, they need to figure out how to outscore and outplay the Knicks in the 2nd half. The Celts have been outscored by at least 10 points in the 2nd half of every loss this series. The Knicks have also had a better FG% in the 2nd half versus the 1st half in every game of this series:

Game 1: H1: .410 H2: .462
Game 2: H1: .386 H2: .476
Game 3: H1: .395 H2: .405
Game 4: H1: .426 H2: .667

It’s over boys. Brown is injured and playing similar to the ‘23 Heat series, and Porzingis is probably the worst player in the series. They cooked unless White and Pritchard both drop 40.

If they have a brown, KP, Jrue, white, it is a 45-50 win team.

6 million dollar man.Excuse me 304 million dollar man who has 2 left hands.Yes,im so optimistic about him.We got nothing from him.Softzingis is better then Kat but this year he is like walking dead.Just zombie.And gave us nothing.Jrue .I wish.Payton was the only one that gave us something.And its sad really.That Brunson is dominating the paint.



If we go to the game 6.i would consider this great season.

Prove me wrong and win just for once and lets see game 6.Cleveland choked.I dont think we shall see game 6.
