I get that, however, him playing is hurting the team. Like REALLY hurting the team. If he was a net positive or hell, even SLIGHTLY hurting us, then maybe. He is absolutely KILLING us. He needs to sit period.


I'd also like him to sit if he's feeling like he played the other night. Apparently some days are better than others with his energy level, so maybe he's got something in him today, but if not either he or the med staff should rule him out imo.

I just don't like the personal insults or feel like he deserves them. I've got some health problems that might not be readily apparent just by looking at me, but it still sucks and I'm doing my best. And I believe KP is doing his best.

Again I read somewhere this happened to him before this season. The problem why he gets insults is because he’s never available when you need him the most.

Not feeling very confident tonight. Hitting like 20 3’s without JT is probably not sustainable and NY will probably come out like a house on fire to get this done, something they have failed to do for a very long time.

If our guys did empty the tank last game, I just hope they compete as hard as they can and make the Knicks earn that ****.

CELTIC PRIDE is non negotiable. Hopefully Jrue turns back the clock a bit tonight.

But they also swamped the Knicks by 27 even though the Knicks had 40 free throw attempts.

There's two sides to each coin. Maybe they don't score as many 3s but also maybe they don't give up 40 friggen free throws.

Get the W. This Knicks team is full of choke artists outside of Brunson.

Establish an early lead and get them to start doubting themselves. If we don’t give the game away, they won’t be able to win regardless of whether we’re down JT or not

That series is why we can't win this one.

There's zero reason you lose game 7 at home, after coming back down 3 games to 0 on a buzzer beater like that.

Unless of course you have this coach

I would feel good if we were getting something from KP. Idk if white can go for 30 again.

That's ok. He can score 4 and we still win by 1.

If Brown has 12 assists again they'll win tonight.

My out of the blue prediction tonight is the Celtics are going to get a Porzingis game tonight

Very confident the Celtics pull this game out tonight. They have outplayed the Knicks all series. Now their focus is up. Enjoy the game!

If we can just get something out of KP, anything it would be a boost for this team

Still keeping expectations low like last game so really no stress for me going into this one but probably will be at some point in the middle of the game lol. Now if we win this game, then I’ll be all in on the Celtics for any game any series but tonight is the big test especially for the role players.

I’m guessing the Knicks are going to try to take that away and stick to the shooters. Play Brown straight up and force him or somebody else to score 40 points. Adjustments. That’s what I would do.

There is too much Porzingis coverage before this game for him to have another bad game… right??

Their collapses have been embarrassing. But Wednesday was very good and let's hope they keep it going.

Survive the first half. That’s what they need to do.
