Welcome to the daily discussion thread! You can use this space to discuss little things that don't need their own post. This is also the perfect space for pictures, videos, and links that would otherwise go against the sub's rules. Just don't be jerks and don't break any Reddit-wide rules. Have at it.

And some of y’all need to calm tf down. “Fire Mazzulla” “Trade Brown”… I trust both of them to do well when their backs are against the wall.

Stay on that side if y’all were criticizing them like that.

Celtics in 6.

I know its an almost every game thing to see people complaining about the terrible commentators. But this shit is outta control.

Doris was MIA for most of the game. Why? because she sitting there pouting. I would of though she was asleep if she didn't pipe up a few times just to shit on tatum and his shot selection. Guess the knicks have to go on a run and get momentum for Doris to care.

They may as well just bring out Walt Frazier to call the game ffs.

There’s a reason the Knicks have been down 20+ in every game. They’re shite. Cs in 6

We don’t have to listen to Reggie miller openly root for the Knicks for 2.5 hours on the national broadcast today…hopefully Dorris keeps it professional

This is it folks. This is the big one. An absolute must win in enemy territory. Do they rise to meet the occasion? I believe. Let’s fucking go!

I honestly don't know how I would manage this issue. He obviously needs a little run to work up to better game speed, but you can't just leave him out there for extended stretches. And not just cause he's tired.

He's actually setting way less than desirable screens and we are not creating the advantages our guys are used to with him at the top of the key. Knicks are out there moving him off his spot too frequently and it's messing up our actions.

I think Mazzula was right to match his minutes with Robinson. Like at this point, if he's out there let him fight for rebounds with length and use him from the short roll instead of the post up.

exactly what the title says - i moved to nyc about a year ago and have yet to find any decent “boston bar” or at least a spot where you can expect a few other C’s fans… has anyone in nyc found a good option??

obviously i know almost every place will be overrun by knicks fans, im not afraid of them and in fact love the challenge, but it would be fun see a few friendly green shirts in the crowd

I am humbly asking your assistance with an emo Joe mazzulla edit.

With his last basket, Tatum moved ahead of Kobe Bryant into 2nd place for the most playoff points scored at age 27 or younger.

3275 LeBron James

2892 Jayson Tatum

2889 Kobe Bryant

2620 Kevin Durant

Yw guys, I think I'll take credit for this game

This is the entire post.

I don’t have some in depth analysis, I’m not talking shit about a very good opposing basketball team, or complaining about two disappointing games over the last two years.

Calm seas never made for strong sailors.

Celtics in 6.

Fourth all-time in playoff games with 2+ blocks and 2+ threes.

First two games shooting: 15-60, 10-40. Combined? 25-100 (25%).

Today? 20-40 (50%)

Combined first three games, we're shooting 45-140 from 3. That's 32.1%.

Our average this year during the regular season was 36.8% (over 140 threes, that's about 51 threes). Against the Knicks specifically in the regular season? An astonishing 43.5%. (Again, over 140 that's about 61 threes).

Regression to the mean (up or down) is inevitable. Which is why I'm even more confident we can play even better the rest of the games this series. And considering the way we lost? Stronger confidence.

It's not our system. It's just about if we can make our shots and force them into tough ones. We were unable to do either in games 1 and 2 but did both of that a lot better today.

All I want is BIG BOOTY CELTICS DUB! (If we go down 0-3 that will be my 13th reason why)

I’ve never seen any hate like this. Tom Brady didn’t get this much hate. LeBron never got this type of hate. It seems like before the championship, Tatum received an insane amount of criticism for not finishing the job in previous years, then he won last year and it seemed like for 5 minutes he was finally getting the respect he deserved. The hate somehow doubled over the offseason and through this year, and then he has two bad games vs the Knicks and everyone is tripling the hate they have for him AND acting like he’s never proven he can lead a team to a championship. THE GUY LED THE CELTICS IN POINTS REBOUNDS AND ASSISTS ON THE WAY TO A 16-3 PLAYOFF RECORD. WHAT. ARE. WE. DOING. HERE.

Probably a stretch, but I'm in Rome this week, and today's game being an afternoon game means I can watch it at a reasonable hour. Anyone know a bar that I could watch it at in the city?

First 2 games are starting to seem more and more scripted.

How is he so consistently good for his age!? Watching him play is sooooo much fun. It's gonna be a sad day when he retires.

The Knicks have looked the same in all three games but we finally played to our identity. I’m feasting. All sins are forgiven. The future is ours. Forgive me for besmirching the 3 pointer I have REPENTED and I’m once again anointed a BELIEVER!!

Literally one of our most efficient shooter all season. He averaged 5.1 FGs made per game during regular season and is currently only shooting 3.1 in the playoffs. IMO we need to create chances for players like him to shoot and as a team we have to be more fluid and efficient with the ball.

We're 12/19 from three. Clearly from watching the game this wasn't just an "on" shooting game; these were almost all open looks. I don't think I saw Tatum do a single step back 3 on a mismatch and chose to drive to the lane instead, only shooting 3s when it made sense, and he's popping off. Just gotta keep it up till the end. This 20 pts lead feels different. Go Celtics!

Yeah that’s what I thought. Let’s go!!!!!!!!!!1111

Tonight we need a different kind of energy... An "everybody acting tough while they up"- kind of energy... Or to put it in Boston term: "Energy about to shift"

Remember that dogshite season, at all star break Brown tweeted "Energy about to shift" and we rose to the top of the eastern conference.

Tonight I can finally watch a game live, living in Europe... lets hope that brings some luck

Always loved Grant when he was with us. Even though he is no longer on the team, he is defending his brothers. Once a Celtic, always a Celtic!

Feels like a game 7 need the guys to lock in and come through unacceptable for blowing 2 games at home 🤦🏽‍♂️.
