1st game this season - No Porzingis for the Celtics, no Robinson for the Knicks

2nd game - No Jrue or Porzingis for the Celtics, no OG or Robinson for the Knicks

3rd game - Celtics at full strength, no Robinson for the Knicks

4th game - No Horford for the Celtics, Knicks at full strength

Idk breh, doesn’t sound to me like the Celtics had a health advantage in the regular season matchups :hubie:


Don't forget Celtics had nothing to play for, Jaylen Brown played on one Leg scored 6 points and sat the majority of the 2nd half.

Knicks don’t have a snowballs chance in hell of winning this series without boston having multiple injuries

They are pretenders & their sons. Wrap this shyt up quick and rest up for an epic ecf vs Cleveland


Knicks have a matchup problem vs the Celtics, They have 2 players that they cant afford to sit for extended periods of time but they cant hide on defense (Brunson/Kat) sort of like what happened to the Mavs in the finals when they couldn't hide Kyrie and Luka, This version of the Celtics is just too good at recognizing and exploiting that weakness, Celtics will hit a bunch of 3s this series because they gonna put Brunson and KAT on the pick and Roll all game long forcing the Knicks to help and leaving open players like Holiday/White/Pritchard/Horford at the 3 point line. Mitchell Robinson cant just camp in the paint because Celtics main bigs (Horford/ Porzingis) hit the 3 at a 40% clip.

They had a hard time with Detroit's 10th overall Ranked Defense, Celtics defense 4th Overall is better with Elite shooting and playmaking. Recipe for disaster. I agree, only way I see the Knicks winning is if Boston is hit by a few series altering injuries.


They going from facing Tobias Harris to All NBA Jayson Tatum
Tim Hardaway Jr to NBA Finals MVP Jaylen Brown
Ausar Thompson to Ausar Thompson with a Jumper AKA All NBA Defense Derrick White
Jalen Duren to the Unicorn who can hit 35 Foot Bombs KP
Cade is an Upgrade offensively over All Defense Jrue Holiday
Malik Beasley to 6 month of the Year Payton Pritchard who can Actually Play defense


....and Last but not least Playoff Al Horford

The way I see the series is that the Celtics just came out of a series where they faced a team who are elite at defending the 3 pointer (Orlando Magic) and now going to face a team who is bottom 5 in defending the 3 pointer (NY Knicks)

And the 2 best players on the Knicks are actually the Top 2 defensive liabilities which the Celtics would exploit
