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

[Who]

Torrey Craig needs to be getting some minutes in this series with Hauser out of action. They need another wing or forward in the rotation. They are playing double big too often considering how badly Porzingis is playing.

At this point, anyone but New York or Golden State and I'm good with whoever wins it all.

We've all been saying it for weeks, but just like 2022 with Muscala, Joe just doesn't want to extend deep into the bench even when things are dire

MRI tomorrow for JT. Probably going to confirm what we all know.

let him rest a year come back for start of 26-27 season

[celticinorlando]

White
JB
KP
Al
Jrue

That is your core for game 5. PP and Kornet off the bench. Might be a blow out. But I actually think the Cs win.

[angryguy77]

Biggest winner tonight: Wyc.

Might be the biggest sell  high of all time

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

WE WILL FIRE JOE ONCE WE LOSE THIS SERIES RIGHT? RIGHT?

STUPID COACHING

[Banner18now!]

Well at least Joe gets to go in the darkness now. No matter what Brad does please get rid of Mazzula.

[celticinorlando]

This series was lost in Game 1 and Game 2 unfortunately.

If it is an Achillies he is done for next season at the least. Esp this late in the season.

Have a feeling a reset is coming soon. Al, KP, Jrue and Hauser all being moved.

Next season will be PP, White and Brown will be your core and they will be a lottery team.

I mean if they trade all of Al, KP, Jrue Hauser and get nothing back then probably.

If they generally keep the team together I think they'd still win close to 50 even without Tatum, but if he's out all of next year they for sure are tarding one of KP or Jrue for tax purposes.

Literally zero reason to be in the 2nd apron next year. Everything they do this offseason has now shifted to saving money and bringing in a younger core to go with Tatum in the future. This is dire. We are still in shock. Our elite, top 5, franchise player likely just suffered a career altering injury. Next year is a complete wash, but we need to hope that we didn't just suddenly turn into the Sixers

Ya I think the most likely outcome is a Jrue or Porzingis trade to get back under the 2nd apron. retool around Tatum/Brown/White as your core with a more dispersed 4-10 salary wise.

But we'll see, getting a bit ahead of ourselves.

I'm fine with that. The big question is, who is our PF/C of the future? Horford will likely retire in two years as well, they need someone. I don't mind Kornet as a backup but that's it.

If Tatum is out next year, Horford isn't coming back lol I think he retires this summer if Tatum is projected out most of the year.

This is bs from all of you blaming JB for JT?s injury.  That is idiotic and I know all of you are mad at Brown because he played poorly, but he didn?t cause JT?s injury.  grow up.

I'm honestly just sick of Jaylen Brown tbh. I guess he's been hurt, but he's been hurt for like 3 months now (and KP has been sick for like 3 months). He somehow still can't dribble the ball after 9 years in the league. It's a travesty that he won FMVP over Tatum last year in an easy short 5 game series.

The team didn't have any of the magic they had last year. They've consistently been great in even years and bad in odd years, so it's no surprise. But I guess that streak is about to end with no Tatum next year

Brown has not been good in these playoffs but you can go cry yourself to sleep knowing he was our best player last postseason and that?s a huge reason why Tatum just got injured and we lost games we never should?ve lost against the absolute garbage Knicks?brown just isn?t the player he was last postseason

In no way, shape, or form do I believe Brown was our best player last postseason. He took advantage of the attention Tatum received, but Tatum still had more points, assists, and rebounds and was a more versatile, active defender. In a 4-game ECF and 5 game Finals, Jaylen wasn't some savior. He was good, but it was a team effort spearheaded by our superstar

Thats always been the BIG question. We hope it was KP, but given the guy can't ever be healthy seems unlikely. Al Horford is just such a tough player to replace.
