All they have to is treat game 3 like game 7 but a sweep would seriously be another embarrassing mark for this group. They have had a lot. From losing to Miami in game 7 and losing to the warriors with home field advantage.

SGA 5-5, blowing out the Nuggets after a game 1 let down at home.

That’s how you do it

That’s a weakkkkk take man. Celts beat themselves, Knicks haven’t done anything special. Win Sat and game on, still hope they let Joe go. He’s the leader of this group and adds absolutely sky nothing! Too bad Van Gundy didn’t stick around he could have helped this clown


We don’t have mentally tough players either. Tatum has pissed on himself. Cowturd must be saying i told you so!!!

This Celtic team is the weirdest ever. Never before I've seen a team that looked like an NBA juggernaut to a team that can't even beat a high school team. Tatum.....OMG! I would trade his ass for Caitlin Clark right now...girl can ball!

This group is unlikeable even with their one ship. They do a lot of dumb **** and zero mental toughness. I don’t think they will be remembered fondly like the big 3.

They have a couple of days to think it over but i just knew they were gonna imploded. When you know they’re gonnna do it before it happens that tells you a lot about this group. About imploding. I don’t wanna hear they were tired. Knicks played heavy minutes as well.

Did they also win a chip and have that short offseason like us?

They aren’t tired because of this season, it’s last season too. Three of the top 5 were at the Olympics, then add on the off-season was already one of the shortest ever.

We have been in at least the ecf except 2 seasons since Tatum was drafted, IIRC, 2 were finals.

This isn’t the first time I mentioned this. I’m almost positive I said it very early in the season, we didn’t look great. It looked like we were dead because of our shooting. When you’re tired, you have trouble shooting. Also, when you’re tired, you tend to shoot the easiest shots you can get… chuck city this season.

I’ll take that chance! Better to lose in the finals than the second round! If LBJ can get praised for getting there 10 times, I’ll take ten too! Thanks.

Tatum **** awful but it’s been slept on that once again Porzingis for the second straight season is nowhere to be seen.

Last season people were like oh they won without him anyway.

We were in dogfights with a banged up Cavs and Pacers.

Horford was getting cooked in switches. Bricking shots.

It’s the same **** again this season. This team simply isn’t nearly as good when Porzingis isn’t healthy.

That feeling will go away. Just like winning the championship last season. That was great but that feeling lasted about a week or two for me.

I'm pissed and I'm not.

Coming into this series, I didn't think we could beat the Knicks with a banged up Brown and Jrue. But no one was expecting Tatum or Joe to be this horrible. This team has no fight in them with two of the 3 best defensive players around 70% healthy. Not to mention Al is gassed. I didn't expect much from KP after the way he struggled in the 1st round.

So i am looking at the boxscore right now. Celtics had a 84-68 lead at the 8:40 and only score 6 points after that? Am i reading that correctly? Scored 6 points the rest of the way. My goodness that is complete junk.

Or maybe this exactly what the new owner is privately hoping for….

Let’s say Boston goes deep into the Finals and win/lose. There would be no chance to break up the team. He will have a path now to retooling things and maybe that starts with unloading Brown. Boston flaming out gives him all the excuses he needs to start to blow things up a little.

When you’re making several hundred million dollars, critics and their critiques mean absolutey nada.

They all got paid and they all won a ring. What’s left now?

Maybe that’s the new mindset for this group.

I'm thinking boston is going to troll us again. They're gonna lose three straight games and then come back from the brink of disaster to tie this series up at three and then go home for game seven only to choke it away.

That would be the most boasting thing to do.
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

The Knicks have done nothing special. The celtics have gagged these two games. It’s not even close. 84-68 lead with 8:40 left and they scored 6 points the rest of the way. Think about that. Lmao.

I wished but this group is gutless. The way they have gagged these games is pathetic. Celtics great rolling in their graves lol.
