Not surprised they won this one. Winning game 6 would surprise me.

Just brilliant work controlling the ball on offense and avoiding live ball turnovers.

White setting the tone. Luke ethering everyone (we need him back next year). JB with a stunning, mature game on every level. They were focused and ready when they could have come out and given up and we all would have shrugged and forgiven it.

Spectacular win.

I have seen folk with long term C, it isn’t pretty, they are just normal citizens. Playing basketball with it must be horrible. If he wants to play, I guess you have to play him. Gotta bring him off the bench.

They have been playing with his health if the man can’t breathe! He wants to help the team, I think he’s going to keep playing like he did on one leg.

Tough choice. We could use him just giving us a good 5 minute burst here and there but he has to score or defend, or else he’s harming himself for no reason.

Exactly. This is not on KP. If the man can not breathe, he can not play.
This is on Joe. You cant play Kristaps no more.

He is not healthy. I know he wants to try but Joe needs to be smart. Guy has nothing to offer.

The new owner was fired up all night. I like it.

Also, why did it take us 9 games to figure out we need to move the ball?

Imagine this team playing this way all the time.

He’s fine. Curdled up on his couch clutching photos of Baynes getting dunked on. He’ll always have that.

Voted Kornet because he exceeded much of what was expected of him. Brown was great too.

Truly one of the board's all-time bad takes.

He's also soft. It's on both. And if you are hurting the team, pull yourself. What are these idiot assistants doing on the sidelines? Nobody says anything. It's a complete **** on both ends. You don't have to be an expert to see it.

Tyakack · Post #73 » by **Tyakack** » Thu May 15, 2025 2:18 am

Joe out here playing a guy that can't breathe until he is forced not to. What a joke. You can't tell me we don't win this series going away with a better coach.

Brown and Kornet. Kornet w/ his best game as a Celtic at the absolute best time.

Honorable mention to White for scoring a whole bunch of points, too!

The dedication to it is unmatched though. You gotta give him that.

Brown took a shot in the knee Only 5 weeks ago , you only have so many shots in that gun. There shouldn't have been a need to waste them when Tatum was healthy against this trash team.

OG's putrid performance should be highlighted too. 6 points on 1-12 shooting. Celtics did a really good job on him, if he has a good shooting game the Knicks are infinitely harder to beat. We just have to limit him again in Game 6.

Who smokes the big cigar?
