The playoffs this year have been so freaking bizarre that one more shock is certainly not out of the question. Celtics in 7.

Sorry Sparz. I know it's your birthday tomorrow but I'd rather we just lose and be put of our miseries and move on to the offseason for good



We Celtics fans will be on suicide watch in the next 48 hours, moreso about Tatum's injury than the playoff series but I understand 😭

Find me looking for bridges around LA tomorrow

You'll be finding my body floating in a river in TN later today  :'(

Guess the Knicks really did succeed in building that "Villanova" squad to stop Boston, esp when it mattered most. I'd say their mission was accomplished.

Bridges was great.  I expected it from Brunson.  But Bridges just hit contested shot after contested shot.

Imagine having a guy like that.
There are two kinds of people: those who say to God, 'Thy will be done,' and those to whom God says, 'All right, then, have it your way.'

Still think NY wins Game 6 but I'll say this, all the pressure is on them Friday night. They got to treat it like a Game 7. Because if this actually goes 7, I actually might give BOS a shot even without Tatum.

The big adjustment for game 6 has to be not playing KP even a single minute.

Yes he's not just a non factor he's a liability. He was a -14 when virtually everyone else was a +12 to +20, including Kornet

Huge win in game 5 to keep the series alive. We probably still lose in 6 but it was good to see the guys rally and win a game after losing Tatum. Big performances by Brown, White, Pritchard.

he doesn't even get garbage time.  hard to see him staying in the league when his deal is up.  would take a miracle turnaround

TP

He is cooked. Everyone is talking about our reliance on the 3 costing us this series - and there is a discussion to be had there - but Porzingis has been an absolute sieve on defense,  and is playing scared on offense.

He got destroyed in the second half of game 4. Knicks were going at him and scoring at will. I think in the 4th quarter they beat him on 5 straight possessions. Right now he's not good enough to be on the court. It's a shame, but I think his career as a rotation player is in its twilight.

Yeah, I think he can actually be a positive in short minutes here.
