Celtics (44-12) at Knicks (34-22) Game #57 2/24/24

Absolutely encouraging how they played tonight. That right there is a championship caliber team no doubt

They have the talent and the chemistry...the only thing they need to get is the mental fortitude to deal with adversity and challenges when the pressure is on, in the playoffs. That's really it

agreed.

if we play smart and keep our heads in the game we are winning it all THIS YEAR

[blink]

great win for the Celtics.   Just keep pushing that lead in the east bigger and bigger.
Lets get to 50 wins before we lose again!

TPs for everyone!!!

JB pretty visibly lost his legs late in this one.  Started leaving everything short. 

Not hating, he's played really well.  Just an observation.

Dude played one of the best games of his career in a perfectly played team win. Starters definitely should’ve been pulled sooner.

I just love our starting guards.  Consistent contributions.  I'd argue we have the best backcourt in the NBA.  There are no holes in either Jrue's or White's game.

Good on Brad for not being too afraid to make some hard moves to pull it off.

Yup, shipping out Smartacus for KP when the Brogdon deal fell through was an absolute no brainer and a winner

I promised myself I wouldn't buy another jersey until we won a title.  Right now I have Bird, Pierce, and Garnett.

If we win banner 18 this year, I will buy a Holiday jersey.  Heck I might buy all 5 of our starters jerseys and hang all 5 across my living room wall.

We are close to running away with the East and soon after the overall #1 record, and it's still February!

Outplay Giannis, Joel Embiid...hahaha C's have always bullied the 76ers. Giannis is tougher, but looks like the Bucks aren't going anywhere.

The Miami Heat is that team to keep an eye on as they're the 8th seed.

In order I fear Cleveland, Miami, New York then Milwaukee

If NYK finishes in the 2-3 seed bracket, I think this is the ECF matchup

Horford played well tonight. Super efficient.

ok so who do we want in the ECF? hope bucks and cavs get knocked off?

i am not worried about embiid or jimmy butler we have beaten both in playoffs and we have beaten giannis also but bucks are tough.

Great defensive effort holding the Knicks to 102.

The Sixers made some key additions at the deadline. IF Embiid gets back in time in decent condition, they will be tough. But that's a big if.

I'm not afraid of Miami, Milwaukee, NY, Cleveland or Indy.

What worries me is Philly slips into play-in, Embiid comes back and suddenly we have to face them in the first round lol
