Celtic beat themselves they bouta make a statement. Crazy ppl got high expectations for Knicks not me.. game 3 look out they been up 20 both games n allow them to come bk u really think Knicks can compete if Boston play all around instead of shooting the 3 bc they can dominate the mid range n post too so be frfr

If it’s a team to come back from 0-3, u think Celtics can do it.. they almost did 2 years ago

More like game 3 is a must win for the Celtics . They lose this they down 3-0 . And we all know what the odds are of coming back from 3-0 .

Porzingis is a huge factor. Celtics are a very different team with him vs only horford

What questions are these ?who needs game 3 more😕 umm i think any team would need it no matter what stupid question specially since OKC has not proven themselves and Nuggets are trying to reprove

The knicks will go up 3-0 and the Celtics will be the first team to come back from a 3-0
To win 4-0.

As long as NYK leave Garden up 3-1, it’ll be a success. Doesn’t matter which game but they need to win 1.

A lot of people are failing to mention this is the healthiest knicks have been in 2yrs….the Knicks are arguably better than any team Boston have played in the playoffs last yr to win the Title….Detroit Pistons were a blessing in disguise they got the Knicks battle tested….the Celtics have not been tested until now

Boston has shot terribly and barely lost these games i believe , Knicks really need game 3 imo.

If Boston loses Game 3, do we finally admit this version of the Celtics just doesn’t have the mental toughness to win it all?

Analytically Celtics should be up 2-0
But Statistically they down 0-2

Jalen Home COURT matters rally your team 👏 🙌 don’t forget how incredible MSG is to the world. I would love to see McBride play more minutes especially in 2nd . He has strong handles. Knicks tell yourselves in order to be the best We have to beat the best. That goes for Nuggets as well. Jokic is a stone cold killer. Doesn’t like losing nickname Joker..

Must win for the Knicks? GTFO. The Knicks need to win 2 out of 5 and Boston need to win 4 out of 5. I like the Knicks chances.
