I think the one thing coming out of this game is that any second thoughts Brad may have had about making major changes this offseason are now gone.  Probably at least 3 or 4 of the 9 rotation players are gone
I doubt it. Nobody wants our trash, only our gems and Brad will not give them away.

I'm starting to think all of Jrue/Porzingis/Hauser are gone. I thought it'd be Hauser and 1 of the 2 but probably not. I think Jaylen-White-PP-Tatum stay and they try to piece the roster around that. Schierman, Queta, Kornet as depth for now. More will be added.

JB is going to be up to what, 6 TO?s now..  :blank:

He's having to try to do everything himself because nobody else even got off the plane.  I get that it's frustrating watching the guy force his offense and turn the ball over but he's doing it because he's alone.

If I want the team to do one thing, at least screen OG off the guy.  Asking him to go one-on-one with the Knicks' best perimeter defender while the rest of the Celtics catch their beauty sleep is just setting him up for failure.

JB had 12 assists last game and only 2 TO?s. He was driving and kicking the ball to open shooters. He was the reason they won the last game. Complete opposite tonight. He?s the main reason they are down big.

No one can make a shot that's why were down. That and these weak refs... Jalyn brown has been fouled all game and has shot two free throws...

Jrue seems like father time crept on him this season. He was nowhere near his form in the championship season. Such a pity.

I don't care who wins the title...I just want to see the Knicks destroyed.

Fake ass fans. Unlikeable team.

I'll be rooting hard for the Pacers to win it all. Minny and Denver are distant seconds for me, but I'm pretty neutral on them.

Anything but a OKC/NYK championship. I find both teams and their fanbases/hype annoying.

Celtics lost this series due to JT AND KP injuries.

That said, Knicks are not good enough, even at full strength, to win a chip this year.

Um the Celtics went down 3-1 with a healthy Tatum. I can?t deal with people that are going to use this as an excuse. The KP illness has certainly been a factor though.

True but if Tatum were healthy I?d have given them a better chance to take the series.  Without KP they weren?t going to beat any of the remaining teams. 

Tough ending to the year, but the second this one ends, my head is 100% future.  What will Brad do? How will JT?s rehab play out?  If KP is here, does he finally recover from what ails him?

They may have lost in 5 with a healthy Tatum. Don?t wanna hear it. They choked away 2 20 point leads at home with a healthy Tatum and lost game 4 with a healthy Tatum playing one of his better games.

*Tatum was never healthy and recovering from a severe wrist bone bruise in his shooting hand.

I get that extreme pessimism and negativity is your schtick for whatever reason, but at least get your facts right.

Add in Jrue's shoulder. KPs illness and Brown's knee combined with all the games this team has played the past few seasons and it just caught up with them.

Gave the Knicks life and belief in games 1 and 2 and couldn't get it back.

the knicks are keying on him and with no one hitting shots they aren't leaving him to stay with shooters.  JB's not the problem but then again you think Joe is a great coach.

JB has around 1/2 of our points, and HE is the problem?  Yeah we got TO-prone JB tonight, but he is the only one producing ANYTHING on offense for us.  JB isn't the main reason we are down big.

Whoever wins Game 7 between Denver and OKC IMO wins it all. But Denver may not have Gordon on Sunday, so advantage OKC also with the game being there.

I don't hate OKC as much tbh. As long as it's not NY, I'm good.

Schierman, Queta, Kornet should be playing in this game... KP -14 in 11 minutes...
