I'd really like to see us win this series miraculously....

I get that we are probably not beating Indy and OKC, but be nice to beat these Knicks.

Just lose Game 5 and let us move on to the off-season

I agree. A series loss is inevitable, IMO, so just get it over with.

I think the worst thing would be to get it to a Game 7 and then lose.

That is something this team WOULD do. Go to Game 7 and lose at home.

We are 3-1 down now. I find it hard to believe we can win now. If they had cut it to 2-2 maybe not now. We have already given up 20 point half time leads and the last game lost after an 11 point half time lead.

For whatever reason we cannot close the deal on this Knicks team.

I believe we need to make at least 2 significant trades in the offseason.

We might need to move on Porzingis and/or Jaylen Brown.

Also Hauser needs to be dumped because Scheierman will soon be nearly as good or better for much cheaper.

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. 
Yup

I made a preseason bet on the Celtics to win the championship at +400.  Prior to last night?s game I had a ?cash out early? option that would have paid 30%, so Vegas still liked the Celtics chances too. 

What a difference a day makes. 
Yup

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
