It starts with believing you can win this. The regular season games mean nothing right now. It's 0-0. And we got Jalen MFing Brunson! So if we can somehow get these games to the last 5 minutes, we have a chance!

I hope Thibs watched that Orlando series cause there is something there. They limited the Celtics three point attempts which is the biggest key imo. And play them physical! Did to them what Detroit did to us! Thivs also cannot delay adjustments. Especially with lineups. KAT at the 5 was not working against these guys in the regular season. Might need to start Mitch in this series.

And offensively we simply cannot play how we did at times against the Pistons with Brunson Iso the majority of the game. We need to get KAT, OG and Bridges involved. This is not a series where KAT stands in the corner half the game. He needs to be assertive and aggressive! Same with Bridges! It's going to take a team effort. Iso should be reserved for the last 2 minutes. And we need Deuce to hit shots!

KNICKS IN 7!!!

TLDR: Celtics have a clean injury report. Everyone is good to go

I feel at peace with no stress going into this series. I'm pretty much expecting to get swept deep down and anything above that will be gravy. That can all change going into the 4th quarter with a lead tonight, but for now it's a gravy train to me.

That said, maybe the DET series gave us a toughness edge that we can bring into this and do a little bit of what Orlando was able to do, with a lot more scoring talent to boot. Celtics are not unflappable and before last year they had a bit of a choker rep.

Also, Thibs did change up his coverages against DET to something we didn't use all year. We rarely played drop against DET. So it's quite possible Thibs has something different in store compared to how we defended them all year.

And they are banged up, one guy goes down and it's a completely different series. Don't want to BANK on that, but I'd give higher odds to the notion that one of Celtics core 4 guys gets injured and allows us to win the series versus we simply outplay a healthy Boston team for 4 out of 7 games. The list of teams who won a series they shouldn't have due to injuries is 10 miles long. Indiana has won like 8 in a row with that kind of luck.

Just hope I don't fall asleep during the game. But against Detroit whenever I slept thru the game we won. I better do my exercise and eat dinner before the game to be ready to be asleep by tip off ! Going to get my EZBoy recliner nice and ready to rumble

Shaq, Barkley are the biggest knick haters and Kenny just piggybacks … hope the Knicks blow the Celtics out tonight to make them eat crow..

They all ramble and clearly don’t watch much basketball. I mean I understand we are the underdogs, but they act like we don’t even deserve to be here. They called us mediocre compared to the Celtics… and that I just don’t agree with, when we are firing on all cylinders we can beat anyone … Sucks we have to watch the games on tnt with a bunch of knick haters .
