    Seems like an obvious 3 team race for the championship this year. Looks like okc, Cleveland, and Boston have separated themselves from the rest of the league at this point. Interested to see if the young okc team can make a run this year though. Such a young team without much playoff experience.

  3. @Adidas_gawd

    Knicks really spent 5 first rounders on mikal and gave OG a 200 mil contract thinking they were gonna be the Jay stoppers 🤣🤣🤣

  6. @JasonMcNamara-y6y

    Knicks have lead the Celtics for a total of 52 seconds this year . Enough said.

    Well one more thing. It doesn’t matter what Brunson and Towns score. They give it up at the other end.You can’t hide 2 turnstiles

  8. @spencerb4294

    I think Holiday’s shoulder was really bugging him. I can definitely see how that being off affects the shot. Been solid on defense but shaky on offense. Definitely encouraging seeing him shoot well after some time off.

  13. @KWAPT

    The J’s deserve all the kudos they got from today’s game, but Derrick White was huge! And efficient. When the Knicks had climbed back into it near the end of the 3rd, it was important for Boston to come out strong in the 4th. White did just that with his shooting & passing. Jayson & Jaylen are obviously the catalysts, but when they’re performing well & White’s doing his thing too, this team is a monster. Like John would say: “who you going to leave open when these guys are all playing well?”. Looking forward to this week’s games. Detroit playing very well & with the exception of one blowout, has played us tough. Then Cleveland & Denver.
    Thanks John! ☘️🔒

    The Knicks traded themselves out of contention. We could easily have traded away our bench for $$$. Thankfully, our front office is every bit as good as our team.

  16. @mctaguer

    See Celtics fans? You NEVER talk about your team trying to avoid any opponent, well, EVER…but especially in the 2nd round. What a joke. IF you are a contender, it's that simple: contenders avoid no one, ever. All the years of whiner fans wanting to avoid Miami absolutely nauseated me. Media + loser-generated BS. If you're the best, you play anyone and everyone.

  17. @jason3994

    Nothing like watching the champs dominate at both MSG and at the Garden! Wasn’t worried at all in the 3rd, the champs showed a little mercy but then put there foot back on the Knicks throat in the fourth for an easy win 🍀🏆 😂

  18. @brianspace7344

    Never seemed like they were going to let it go even when they let up some. JT has really taken it to another level. You can feel he knows he controls things and isn’t just obligated to score. Now that is fun to watch. 🍀🏀🍀

    The J’s make us championship eligible and the guard play makes us Champions

    KP is a cheat code that makes up for errors or slumps.

  19. @carolinadnm17

    I would've hoped that Torrey Craig would've had a little 'burn' today, especially that Pritchard didn't have it, and to give JT and JB a little bit of rest. A bit concerned too, that they lost that 27 point lead that went down to 4, which required more minutes for the starters. DW looked great though, and JH looked like he did last year. Let's Go Celts!

    Jayson And Trae are young owners of the New York Knicks. Great start by the Celtics. Yes, they fell off a cliff a little in the third quarter, but the thing is, they held on and did not let go of the rope. Talk about learning through experience. Both Jays out playing Towns and Brunson, but I feel bad for Towns after he got hurt, and Tibbs was dumb to bring him back in after getting injured. He must think this is NBA2K.

  21. @finks1

    Great win for the C’s. This should shut up any doubters. When we beat the Cavs Friday I don’t want to hear anything until June.

  23. @tylerriley2587

    And Towns did too little after shooting three in Derrick’s face, yet Towns is scared to post up when having a mismatch.

  26. @BlaséSpiritless

    Knicks are fools gold. They’re talented and have real good players but they are small. They don’t defend. And Thibs rotations are horrible because the bench is underwhelming. Never thought they’d challenge the C’s. Celtics on the other hand look like they flipped that switch and are ready to make a run. Defense has been immaculate the past 6 wins.

    And Tatum is on another level right now. Ima get roasted but Tatum is a rich mans Magic Johnson. 🤷🏾‍♂️

  29. @johnpazniokas1143

    I don't think I've enjoyed a national-studio postgame as much as the actual Celtics game before, but almost the entire panel — including Stephen A! — doing a "no moral victories here, but hey, the final score wasn't as awful as other games" was worth the wait.
