PLAYOFFS: Rnd 2, Gm 6 – Celtics @ Knicks – 8:00PM, Fri, May 16, 2025

[The Corey's]

Let’s be honest. While the doom patrol is having fun, the reason why they kept getting smacked by Miami was in part because Marcus Smart believed he was a true number 1 option to the point where he almost single-handedly shot them out of the 2022 ECF. They blew some leads and it’s tough to repeat. Also tough to do it with Tatum and KP apparently not at 100%. Bring it back next year, make some slight tweaks, work as a 3 seed and Tatum suits up again in April.

That's fine.

Tatum did author a 3 to 1 deficit against this incredibly trash Knicks team.

Let's stop letting it slide just because he got hurt.

**** happens. You all switch between blaming Tatum and Brown anyways. KP is a big part of this and apparently now has a medical issue which sucks. Al and Jrue are showing their age. Lots of issues here but yeah all on Tatum.

I only commentate on things as they happen.

Knicks fan coming in peace.

Surprised the Celts took game 5 but now the Knicks had a chance to adjust (by not letting Brown dish). Therefore, only Brown can score. Let's face it, other than Brown, there's nobody to fear on the Celts. My only wish was that Tatum was playing so there'd be no excuse.

Hope you all enjoy the Knicks/Pacers series and have a great summer - "gone fishin'" as they say on TNT.

Got any fishin tips since you only been doing that for like 50 years?

[Red2]

Pathetic

[NYCelticsfan136]

These guys are tired physically and emotionally. The series was lost in the first 2 games with horrible coaching and terrible clutch play. The Tatum injury just added the cherry on top of this **** sandwich . Hopefully that's the end of Mazzulla. We need a more balanced offense beyond ISO and drive and kick. This team has not been enjoyable to watch this season for the most part.

This team is missing a guard that can slash and do it all.

[BigTrade92]

When we lost Game 2 this series was pretty much a wrap.

Insane how blowing two 20 point leads at home has spiraled into Tatum’s career potentially being changed forever and this squad being dismantled a year after a dominant title run.

Life comes at you fast.

Idk if brown is going anywhere. I wish we could get rid of KP. Anyway hard times coming next year.

Someone’s going to take KP off our hands. He’s only signed for next year anyway.

Hopefully a team like Orlando will take Jrue as well.

[GreenBloodedC]

This is what we get for losing the first 2 games. It should have never come to this but it is what it is.

[Geech]

Kicked balls.
Two delay of games doesn't result in shots.
Townes foot under Holloways.
Grabbing and pushing.
Clapping and finger wagging at referees.
Doesn't look like basketball at times.
That's what is most disappointing.

There's still a chance with the bad shooting of the first half, being balanced out by some hot shooting in the second.

We're better at this time with Kornet playing instead of KP, yet it seemed KP got more minutes (didn't check the box score).

[Parliament10]

So who do we like in the Draft?

I think that we should Trade 28 for 2 x 2nd Rounders.

[chrisab123]

Is Game 4 of last year’s final too far back for you to remember nephew?

I remember Game 5 more.

It’s incredible how many fans we have that just want to disregard us winning the title and remember bad moments instead.

I don’t understand

You don’t understand? The same ones who are doom casting tonight and enjoying the fact the Celtics are going to lose are the same ones who were beyond pissed they kept Brown over Marcus. Brown has been slammed on this board and scape goated for years.

KP is easy to move because he is an expiring contract. Holiday is going to be the tough one. Celtics not getting much for either of them

[MaxwellSmart]

This is what you get when you lose the first 2 games at home....such weakness and the Finals are anybody's now, we blew another chance.

[CelticPride44]

The thing that was so evident was that our guys were tired
and this is not the first time, we've lost a war of attrition
especially we've known that Al on 1 day rest ... is gonna be a struggle
Why we never went to Queta at all in the series or even Craig
I look at Christian Braun 2022 in Denver and I would have tried to get Baylor Scheierman some playoff mins
but look, it's a moot point

Knicks played better. They deserve to win. It just sucks to lose the series and Tatum like we did.

Queta should have come in for the last 2 minutes of the first quarter when KP looked gassed!!! Could have seen what he did for 2 minutes and that would have determined whether you keep him in to start the 2nd.

[redslastlaugh]

With JT out next year and new owners coming in
I assume we're keeping Joe for this coming season

Seriously, would be shocked if Joe Mazzulla is not coach on opening night

So who do we like in the Draft?

**** the draft. Fire Joe and the 3 ball offense he brought along with him.

[BigTrade92]

So who do we like in the Draft?

I honestly wouldn’t hate it, but I’d like Johni Broome if he’s there

Kornet got **** smoked by everybody. The guy **** sucks.

If that’s the case tonight is a weird night for you to bring up Tatum

[brackdan70]

Keep shooting 3s....we can still win this game if we get hot.

I’m game. Move the ball move the players and take open shots.

They weren't beating Denver or OKC without Tatum, but you were hoping that Brown would have an All World Stretch and get them to the Finals at least. That elastic snapped back like lickety split...

Never underestimate a stupid GM.
Someone will buy high on Jrue.

This new Superman movie looks like our first half play
