Can 100 Knickas take on Two Jays? - Boston Celtics (#2) vs NY Knicks (#3) Official 2nd Round Playoff thread

Law of averages says Celtics won't stink it up 3 straight games from 3.

But they better win both at MSG. At worst, if the Knicks come outta game 4 with a 3 to 1 lead, it's over.

The new Pope went to Villanova, that’s a sign Knicks in 5

Wow they went with a Peruvian Pope from America on the second day who is a progressive….. really interesting choice.

Man the Knicks have been super impressive

Celtics got to be panicking

You’d never see Melo run into any of these problems offensively especislly in the playoffs. Very clutch player that rose to the occasion and knew his role perfectly (Number one scoring option).

Granted he ain’t locking no one up but a team like Boston fits his play style perfectly

I still think Tatum is good it’s just he’s extremely soft mentally and that’s why he having these brain farts and confidence issues. He not a dog like that despite being 6’9 and damn near 230 now - almost same size as Melo during his playing days

He has the mid range shot but he doesn’t play in the post, doesn’t drive, shoots a suspect middy now and settles for wayyy too many 3s. He didn’t always play like this though so it’s shocking to see. Kinda reminds me of Vince when he fell in love with the 3 during the end of his Raptor tenure and beginning with the Nets. But even Vince would still attack the rim and was a lethal mid range shooter

A little easier to have better numbers against first round competition considering he’s only been to the second round twice. .

I've got my eyes on conf finals. Game 5

 

[BucciMane]

Celtics by twelve in game three and by 25+ in game four.

Brunson hasn't even scored 30 yet I also don't trust Tatum or even Brown in a tight spot

Jrue holiday That boy is the truth

The electricity in the city for the Knicks is something I have never seen, for any team in NY, and i been in the area since 1979'..

More lit than 2013 (Knicks), 94 (Knicks) & 08 (Giants/Yankees)?

Pope Leo XIV went to Nova.

over 2013 easily.

1994 Knicks and 1998 Yankees only debatable ones..

I've always felt the Knicks was NYC's team.

I said this before and I will say it again I don’t think he has the reliable midrange game to deal with this, and it doesn’t help if OG is there too. Look at that last possession. He couldn’t straight line drive cause of Mitch, Then he went to try the midrange and OG was in his face and then he tried to pass it and Mikal was in the passing lane.

The Knicks cornered him and mugged him.

They left Hart open all game so he got himself 23 points.

The Celtics ain’t losing on some fluke shyt, the Knicks are beating them.

True, you know how certain players have a methodical go-to move when they absolutely need to score?

Jokic is the hundred spinning pivots of death into his floater/push shot thing, Shai does the misdirection dribble-drives into a step back middy, Luka is the backdown then spin left shoot over the right shoulder middy.

That's sort of what's lacking with Jayson. He does some cool lookin stationary dribbling stuff that ends with a stressful step back J, but you don't get a sense that he has a spot. Or his spot will be whereever further out than where he started. i'm only being partially facetious.

 

[HoldThisL]

As a Lakers fan from NY, Knicks winning is great to see, especially against those bum ass Celtics
