According to Vegas, Celtics are still favored to win the series.
To all you who think this series is over, put your money where your mouth is and bet the Knicks.
This is the easiest Celtics in 6 read of all time. We’ve been playing terrible basketball. If even one of our players shot the ball well, we win both those games. Guess what? we’re not shooting that bad for the rest of the playoffs. Everything favors us except for the series score right now. Knicks fans and Celtics haters better enjoy it while it lasts. I’m still looking forward to the Thunder lol.
Just dont look past Indy
Hell, we shouldn’t even be looking past the Knicks a little bit
I agree that we’ve still got a chance but 0-2 is a bad fuckin start
If they can put it together and make the right adjustments on Saturday to win, I have faith that they can make an historic run. However, if they keep playing like they have, throwing up three bricks, we’re cooked.
I’m confident. They’ll be tougher than we expected before the playoffs but the guys will learn from this series and will expect the Pacers to bring it up a level.
I hope so. Just dont see our offense keeping up with Indy, unless everyone heats up & Hauser can play.
if our offense doesn’t heat up, we’re not making it out of this series. if it does, i don’t see anyone beating us. let’s hope for the second one
Zero chance we lose game three, zero doubts in my mind idc the doomers can be doomers and the haters can yap. We’re gonna see the championship mode Celtics hitting shots
If we lose, you gotta walk to work.
New arena, new perspective on the basket. Balls will be going in buckets. Sometimes you just need a change in scenery.
Everyone said game 2 is the swing game but it is actually game 3. Whoever wins game 3 will become heavy favorites for the series. The Celtics are already heavy favorites to win game 3.
Facts bro.
But then again this Thunder team looking like a legit championship caliber team than us lmao
nah we beat them but we have to make the Finals first, both Memphis and Denver made them bleed
We got 0-2’d in the regular season man. U still really think they are not legit after that game 2 denver performance?
That OKC team would totally demolish this New York. Let’s face it: We aint what we think we are right now unless Tatum goes God mode after this
Or simply don’t play like a dumbass mode. That would also do the trick.
They lost home court to them
Who cares about a random blowout?
We got 0-2’d in the regular season man
We swept the Knicks in the reg season and we’re 0-2 down rn. Regular season games matter jack shit in the playoffs
Yeah I never understand ppl overplaying the regular season record when we’ve seen a bunch of times it doesn’t matter in the playoffs, some Denver fans still think they would’ve won if they made the Finals lol
If you claim Memphis and Denver made OKC bleed then the Knicks have yall ready for CPR
Denver and OKC are going blow for blow rn lmfao, OKC is not invincible
That’s not what I’m saying. I’m saying the claim you beat them if both make the finals because Memphis and Denver made OKC bleed is silly, because the Knicks have done worse to yall thus far.
We’re better than both Memphis and Denver
We should also be up 2-0 but we’re beating ourselves lmfao, expect things to change tomorrow
And OKC is better than the Knicks…
I don’t think we’re going to play this bad in the Finals if we make it
Love this comment. I feel the exact same way. Can’t wait to see everybody eating their words about JT and the team in general it’s going to be so sweet😂
We haven’t lost 3 straight games in how long ?
Remindme! 2 days
Hopium.
You ever been to that corner of Mass Ave and Melnea Cass? That’s what you on right now. Lmfaooooooo
Knicks in 4
You win Sat night, then the pressure is on them. If you don’t win Sat night you’re cooked.
Saturday during the day ;)
The sooner the better imo.
We got this 🙏
we nearly won a series after being down 3-0 against a better team…
Nearly only counts in horseshoes and handgrenades.
It also counts if the “nearly” actually indicates you might be able to considering you’re facing a worse team, as I said.
You do know the overall NBA record for teams down 3-0 right? Let me help, 0-157.
And yet, we nearly won a series after being down 3-0 against a better team…
[deleted]
Lol. I’m done w you. 3-0 it’s over. Would I bet a million on it? No. But it’s a wrap.
That’s all I’m saying.
Odds flipped overnight. They were -120 Knicks + 100 Celtics now -120 Celtics +100 Knicks. So this means some sharp betters put big time $$$ down on the Celtics overnight
Hopefully it was Tatum, Horford, KP and Brown, who have been intentionally tanking for their big payday.
Hard to win a ring when your players are banned from NBA.
Wednesday night I saw a series spread of Celtics +1.5 games priced at -130 on one sportsbook. Jumped on it. By the morning it was all the way down to -180.
odds makers have been overrating the Celtics all season just because they won the title. They haven’t been as good as the THunder or Cavs, but they still were favorited. Not surprising they are slow to adjust after the Knicks took control of this series. In the same way the Lakers always looked like a probable 1st round exit, but oddsmakers and betters were expecting them to potentially make the Finals, because LeBron and Luka are household names. It’s not always right.
i feel like the knicks have an above 50% chance to win but i’m never gambling against my team
Even the Knicks know we’re better but they clearly want it more and that matters a lot
Ah. So the 3s aren’t falling because the Cs don’t want it.
Don’t the point. Im talking about every facet of the game.
It has nothing to do with wanting it
The 2016 Cavs would disagree with you
Lmao here we go again. Miami giggling to themselves
The Heat are in Galveston giggling to themselves in that dirty ass water
But what does Nate Silver think?!?!
Might find out by whistle in game 3
I look at this way. I thought the Celtics were gonna win in 5 at the start of the series. So that’s 4-1. Which is what they have to go the rest of the series to win. Nothing about the first two games has changed how confident I am that this team is that much better than the knicks.
They could also go 4-0, either way the Knicks still have to win 2 more games
Celtics were 8-1 against the Knicks in the previous 9 matchups before these 2 loses. And in these 2 losses we were up 20 in each and dominated every facet of the game except making open shots.
I think it is pretty reasonable we can go 4-1 or better.
KP is looking like he may not be a positive contributor until his health improves, which is a huge question mark. That changes things.
Still, we played poorly and built 20 pt leads against this knicks team. Thats all I’m saying. I would still have said we beat them 4-1 without KP all together
If you were a knicks fan would you feel comfortable knowing that TWICE before the Celtics collapsed, you were down by 20?
C’s in 6. Huge Tatum game incoming
Ok so as a Knick fan - yeah?
Our entire thing is - we play longer than most of our opponents so they struggle later. All the Celtics main guys are playing more mins than last series but we are around our normal mins since we play the same guys the whole game. Brown is +7 on mins for example.
Going to Boston and winning 2 in a row is like a .01% chance and we did it despite the odds. We haven’t really played that well yet. Brunson’s been bad until late.
But really Mitchell Robinson has been a problem for Boston. The last three games he’s played vs Boston it came down to the last possession in regulation.
Very comfortable. Y’all keep forgetting the Knicks have played like absolute shit too.
That’s good but making our shots in the 4th quarter is better
If they simple just shot 30% from 3 they’re up 2-0. If this cold streak continues it will be the greatest said streak in sports history.
We’re gonna win in six or seven
Celtics in 6. Hopefully this is a wake up call to play the full 48 mins and close them out earlier. To think they won by 4 pts over the two games is crazy considering how bad we are shooting from 3. Make two extra 3s and we good. I believe!
House always wins bro. Lmfaoooo
Put your money down. Knicks in 4
Enjoy until Saturday. This is going to be your last high of the season.
I have 950 on the Knicks winning the series! This thing is over!
