Celtics (58-20) at Knicks (50-28) Game #79 4/8/25

[Phantom255x]

The Knicks tried so hard but came up short again.  And Mazzula was experimenting some this game too.

NY and their fans have to be demoralized.  That 2nd round matchup against us is terrifying for them.

Great road win and a TP for all...

Celtics gonna be living rent free in the Knick's heads this season if they face each other in the playoffs.

Knicks playing on their home court, with a full healthy roster, Celtics pretty much playing without Jaylen Brown, officialls calling the game heavily in New York's favour at key moments, and they still couldn't come out with a win.

We have absolutely dominated them over the past two seasons.

Completely demoralizing for the Knicks. We had a poor game, JB only played 20 minutes, no Al, in NYK, friendly whistle, and yet they still couldn't get the win.

Good short-handed win! Now JB sit out the rest of the games and give that knee some dang rest!

[Neurotic Guy]

That last three by KP was beautiful. He hit them all night but so clutch there.   

I didn?t like the extra minutes but Cs showing again they can pull out a close one. 

JB best not play till the playoffs.

[Goldstar88]

Wild game! TP?s all around!

[radiohead]

TPs all for a very entertaining win!

Jrue with clutch play at the end was a big factor.

[Phantom255x]

Jaylen's still gonna play 2 of the next 3 to reach the 65-game threshold (limited minutes) but honestly I'd consider resting most of our guys all of the next 3 games, JT included. Heavy minutes tonight, good performances from most. Maybe give Horford a game for limited minutes just so he's not too rusty but otherwise pack it in until next to next Saturday

Would be a massive mistake playing JT and Porzingis in particular and risking any injury or kinks right before the postseason with nothing to play for.

[Silas]

This was one of the most entertaining games of the season.  How about Joe's game management with the two bigs to slow down NYs rebounding.

Knicks are dangerous. Lots of talent and play hard.  They came back at the end of regulation and would have won if not for a clutch three by Tatum. I hope Cs dominate them in the playoffs but I expect Knicks will give them a pretty tough series.

[slamtheking]

great way to pull off the win tonight.  Knicks have got to be wondering what else they can possibly do to win a game against the C's

I can see it going similar to how the series' went last year with the Pacers and Cavs - mostly hard fought games, but the Celtics still winning in 4 or 5 games.

C's in 5.

C's had no Al.  ineffective Jaylen.  DWhite making uncharacteristic bad plays. 

Knicks had everyone and had great nights from KAT and Brunson.  they've got nothing that'll get them past the C's
