Celts beat Knicks by 25, Without Jason Tatum.

And without Porzingis in the 2nd 1/2,

I like this team going forward. Brown, Pritchard, White, Halliday. Kornet, Hauser, and Horford.

Jason will get healthy and his contract is gonna get moved.

They played differently last night. It's like they all stepped their game up with the best result of this series. OAITW r.2.0 May 2025 #4

I suppose it's nice to give the home folks one last hurrah.

Their season will come to an end in Game #6 at New York.

They must have Tatum to win. You can't have a player of that caliber sidelined and keep winning.

Kornet was great. Really fun to watch him.

But, they're going to miss those 38 minutes!
Don't know if what they did last night is sustainable.

Can they win the next one at MSG? They've done it 3 times this year. I'm not betting against the Celtics....this is now a different team, and I can't wait to watch this game Friday night..

I said I wasn't sure it was sustainable. It wasn't.
Asking reserves to do such heavy lifting in consecutive games is an unlikely path to success.
Injury/illness had a huge impact on that series.

Die hard Celtics fan that really appreciated the Monroe/Reed/Frasier/Debushiere/Bradley teams. They were an awesome and elegant team. Always amazed at the ballhandling this team had...and Reed was fierce on the boards. Loved every win and loss between these teams.
