Celtics (1-2) at Knicks (2-1) Round 2 Game 4 5/12/25

Hauser is questionable for tonight !!! it will be nice to get anything from KP- at least 15 points and rebounds.

I've been ripping Hauser all postseason. If there's a night for him to come in and knock down some 3s, tonight is that night.

in a game like game 2 when no one could not hit anything, if we had a guy like Hauser in the rotation, he for sure could have helped.

I would be surprised if Hauser plays much, even if available (which I hope he is).  It is nice to have another options off the bench but not critical to success in my view.  At least it shouldn't be vs. NYK.  Bench guys like him tend not to play as well on the road in the playoffs (of course Pritchard was great on the road last game, crushing that old adage).  I just don't see Hauser being much of a factor but if he wants to prove me wrong, that would be fine with me.

Celtics 102
Knicks 96

Tatum 36 points, Jaylen with 20+ and good defense, Horford double-double, and White + Holiday make some big shots in crucial moments. It'll be a much closer game though

I have a feeling he'll be a force on the boards today. They may need him to be. He had 7 rebounds in Game 1 and 9 in Game 3.
