I don’t really understand hack a Mitch when they aren’t in the penalty. Is putting OG back in such a downgrade from Mitch that it’s worth being in the penalty to force the Knicks to take Mitch off the floor?

You know I gonna spin wit it

What a ****ing win. Special to be able to hang in there and make it happen like this.

Coaching on both sides has been brutal.

Mitch has been phenomenal, and Brunson’s been clutch late—but he’s got to move the ball when the defense collapses on him. Can’t let the offense stall when he gets hot.

The real difference in this series? Tatum. He freezes up and consistently makes bad decisions. He could’ve won both games but couldn’t close.

The resilience of this team is special. We’ve got to keep punishing them in the post.

Way to pull these out for the boys. Amazing

After that first game, Boston's swagger was gone.

Bench players usually play better at home. So I hope the bench will get a little more PT. For the long haul.

So many calls were missed or went against the Knicks and they still pulled it out.

Robinson's impact on this series has been huge.

I think BeastMitch. That Tatum clear path is the only exception. He even kept Pritchard in front of him this time. Game changer.

I'll give THibs kudos for this, he made a smart adjustment.

Should Celtics be worried about their record vs. Top 3 teams in the playoffs?

I did not understand it either. If Knicks are not in penalty, why foul Mitch away from the ball. Smh. One of many mistakes Boston made. I guess they were hoping Thibs would take Mitch out because Mitch was killing them, but Thibs understood the situation.

Trust the Process

Do not trade Mitch, like I’ve been saying all season long and definitely not for Herb Jones that would be foolish

I think they wanted Mitch out of the game...Boston felt his presence

I honestly think they don't like Mazzula. Tatum got injured a few weeks ago and Mazzula's response waa "Get up!" I think the team misses Udoka.
