Nah, we gotta get ready for the Pacers. We need the rest with guys being banged up. Let's finish it tonight.

Nah man, can't give them any hope. I can already see the media saying how they're doing it for Tatum and how much heart they have :nonono:

Boston was 8-2 without Tatum this year. 2 wins against the pistons (both games in Boston in December before the pistons really started clicking), 6 wins against really bad teams, and 2 road losses against the Magic

Let's put the women and children to bed tonight. Our players could use a little rest before the revenge series against Indy starts

Hmmm. Irrelevant?

We didn't look like we belonged on the court with Boston most of the season. We were like 11-18 against teams above .500 and feasted on some trash teams. Here we are up 3-1 in the second round vs the defending champs.

Boston will definitely be playing with a different look. We need to figure out what there new offensive plan is and see how we're being defended as well. I'm sure spamming threes is still on the menu.

I like our chances but, you gotta play the games. I didn't think we'd be seeing game 5 this year.

I dont agree with this... We werent down 1-3 in the series and then Tatum goes down. We were up 2-1 with 2:58 minutes to go in the 4th
with a 9point lead and we were dominating the 2nd half. Come on bro- your capping for the opposition. The Celtics had all of their guys playing
with under 3 minutes to play on their way to a 1-3 deficit. They would have to win 3 in a row- 2 in NY and 1 on their home floor where we beat them 2 games in a row. You have plenty to stand tall about! :nod:

Betting odds have Boston by 4.5 to 5 points.

If you have the Knicks winning tonight, good time to place a bet.

My brother in Christ what new offensive plan? it will be 3 after 3 lol...... it's going to be brown trying to spearhead the offense in the Tatum role, force him left each time since he cant do it.

It would be two more for them at home..5 & 7. Game 6 would be in NY but, yeah. We finally came to play and would most likely have won before he went down.

I'm just focused on tonight. New look Celtics could catch us off guard. We need to play as team like we did last game. All hands on deck for 48 minutes tonight.

Can't give them life. They are still in shock, if they start believing this could go really bad. Don't need Jaylen Brown turning into playoff Jimmy with 3pt shooters who don't miss.
