Time for the Celtics to show why they are road warriors and bring this home. Early on its been a very choppy game for the Cs. Defensively they are making some plays and missing others. Although that was a heck of a block from KP. It also nice seeing KP hit a three. Hopefully that three will be the one that gets him started. It would be nice to see him have a big game. Cs are going to need him. It would be nice to see Sam and Payton get it going tonight. Cs are very cold tonight, Brown is the only one who can score right now. The second quarter has been an absolute disaster for the Celtics. This is the end and last run with this group. I'm very sad that this is how the Celtics run ends. With only one title and guys being on the verge of being traded out. I wish Tatum didn't get hurt. What a brutal way to lose especially with how bad their shooting has been tonight. My gut is telling me this is the last time Jrue, KP, and Sam will wear Celtic...
Jaylen Brown's stelar play in the 2024 Finals versus the Mavericks was evident once again in the Celtics convincing win over the Knicks in Game-5 of the Eastern Semis. In 37 minutes , he did a great defensive job on New York's Jalen Brunson , while supplying 26 points, eight rebounds, 12 assists (not a misprint), one steal and a plus/minus of +28. That's 12 assists with only two turnovers for Brown. And he held Brunson to 41% shooting on field goals and 25% on 3-pointers , while Jaylen was 53% from the field and 60% on treys. Even if you missed the game, Brown's 12 assists show that he didn't try to make up for the loss of Jayson Tatum all by himself. Admittedly, his foul shooting (5-of-8) was off a bit, but his overall game, in a do-or-die situation, was admirable.. Can he do it again on Friday night in New York? Boston fans hope so. With Tatum out of action for (at least) most of next season - and with the upcoming cost-cutting - almost every player on the ...
