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

Knicks were winning this game whether Tatum got injured or not?they were due for 1 decent performance and the Celtics have no one to blame but themselves, should?ve been going for the sweep tonight and this should?ve been the 1 Knicks fluke win

Even before the JT injury, throughout the final 1.5 quarters the game got close and somehow NY seemed more energetic and "in control" than our loaded team. That's just pathetic. We really are scared of crunch time?? My god...

[celticinorlando]

Cs got up 14 mid third. NY took a time out and the Cs never recovered. Same as games 1 and 2.

Assuming the worst that Tatum is done. I think the Knicks are the best of the rest in the east.

Was that Rick Patino celebrating the Knicks win? What a clown.

[Who]

Ohh. I just saw the replay of Tatum getting hurt. I didn't get a good look at it before. That is a strange looking injury. Not good.

[Muzzy66]

the Irony of everybody blaming Brown for the loss when the game was lost when he went to the bench with foul trouble.

It wasn't.  It was still very much winnable until he came in and sealed the loss with a terrible turnover, then cemented it with a ill-advised missed three.  He also lost us game one with a similarly bad turnover on the final play of the game. 

I don't know what it is with Brown - when the team is under medium pressure he's great, but when the team is under huge pressure he falls apart and his hands turn to butter.

Tatum took some really dumb shots late in this game too, no question about it. But I can only put so much criticism on a guy who put up 42 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks on 57% shooting.

I didn?t see it, why is everyone saying it?s an Achilles? Did the commentators mention anything?

It looked just like Dame's injury. He extended his right leg behind him to go for the loose ball in front of him and immediately fell to the ground and was in immense pain. It looked like the classic Achilles injury.

[SparzWizard]

Repeating is really hard.  Brown and Porziņģis are both hurt or sick or something. Tatum can?t do it all. I fear the worst for Tatum. That looked horrible. This game is history, but don?t count out the Celtics game five.

Jaylen can't carry this team. Jaylen look like Jaylen from 2023 Heat series, a freaking dud. He won his accolades last year, so now he's reverting back to his dud self again. $300M folks.

They will lose to the pacers, Rick Carlisle is no Jo Maz

[Banner18now!]

An hour ago we had a 14 point lead and it was looking good.

Massive bummer

Things can change in a blink of an eye. That?s why you can?t blow 20 point leads. This better be the end of Mazzula. Wasted 3 years with him.

[celticinorlando]

I am all aboard the Pacers train.

Last year we got the injury Gods to favor us. This year the opposite.

yup been saying this is what u get when u blow two wins at home

[jambr380]

Oh my God, I went to the mailbox for five minutes come back and Tatum?s being wheelchair off what happened?

Brown's typical incompetence turning over the ball leading to Tatum overextending trying to get the loose ball.

If it really is Tatum's achilles, we need to start a movement to get Brown traded. His boneheaded play has cost us important series' before, but his ineptitude is now going to cost us an entire year of our franchise and our franchise player. Good tough shot macker, but he's worn out his welcome

[Phantom255x]

He wasn't the only one, but Jaylen was awful tonight. Even in the first half and early 3rd, every Celtics run was killed by Jaylen's stupidity. Knicks got momentum every time after.

Jaylen is not an alpha.

I didn?t see it, why is everyone saying it?s an Achilles? Did the commentators mention anything?

No contact and he just dropped when he tried to push off of it. Like KD in the finals

It's a classic tried to make a move, but the muscle in his leg just didn't fire correctly which caused the foot to lag behind the play. Classic over-use injury. 

Its did not look good.
