GAME THREAD: Boston Celtics (1-2) @ New York Knicks (2-1) – (May 12, 2025)

50 comments

1. Celtics shooting 50% from 3 and getting every foul call, yet they are only up 11

2. Chiney 🥵

3. “Tatum only had 5 points, 1 rebound, and block that quarter. Bad efficiency too cuz of the 2 for 1 try, he clearly sucks”

4. Do Knicks fans ever shut up about the refs? Literally every game thread in this series has been that.

5. Celtics fans crying about fouls is the most annoying thing

6. Brunson “loses his footing” more than any player I’ve ever seen. Dude literally just falls down to try and get a foul call.

7. KAT could easily have shot as many free throws as the entire celtic team if this was being called the same on both ends

8. The refs don’t reward morons, hence why KAT and MRob don’t get whistles. They’re more lenient if you win with position and smarts, rather than brute force.

9. Celtics have to box out better in the second half. They’re getting killed on the offensive glass

10. Tickets for the Pacers-Cavs game in Cleveland tomorrow have dropped to $45.

    If I were a Cavs fan in Cleveland, I’d be eating that up.

11. “The Celtics do a good job avoiding contact” I watched Horford put his hands all over KAT’s back in the post multiple times buddy

12. Lmao Tatum drops 20 in a great half

    ESPN: Wow Brunson’s playing great what’s wrong

13. Who is the bigger flopper: Jalen Marquis Brunson or Vlade Divac?

14. I just hope the league office and Vatican are colluding to rig this series for us

15. 10 seconds of “analysis” 3 minutes of commercials lol

16. Celtics shooting 50% from 3 but only up 11. Knicks can win this

17. The conspiracy theorists crying about nonexistent rigging suck the life out of these threads.

18. Brunson is an elite player with his…*package* 😏

19. Knicks down only 11 when celtics shooting 12/24 from 3 and only got 4 Fts vs celtics 15 should leave them feeling alright.

    Expecting a blazing 3rd quarter by the knicks shooting 15 fts

20. I like that Knicks fans talk like they’re a small market team getting screwed over because the league wants the big Boston ratings while simultaneously gassing up MSG as the basketball capital of the world

21. if thibs had 11 more strands of hair, this would be a tie game.

22. Derrick White is Celtics best player

23. Luke and kp need to.have more of a presence in the paint

24. If you think the free throw discrepancy is the difference in the game, then that’s absolutely comical

25. one thing all nba fans can agree on: espn half time coverage is genuinely pathetic

26. Celtics whistle is kinda crazy

27. Whistle needs to just be put away during 2nd half so we can all find another thing to endlessly complain about.

28. What rich guy’s son is this putting on the worst halftime show I’ve ever seen

29. Shooting 50 percent from three and only up 11. Getting bitched on boards and missing free throws. Knicks win by double digits 

30. There are no comments in this thread that are not about free throws

31. lots of nba news today. Aside from the lottery, Giannis basically asking out of Milwaukee. I know it’s not possible, but I would love to see Giannis is our green. I love him as a player and as a person. I don’t often love players from other teams, but he’s definitely one .

32. This has by far been the Knicks best game of the series lol

33. 1. Celtics up double digit

    2. KAT 3 foul in 1st half

    Ref had done their daily task. Now is time to let the players play and Ref swallowing their whistle gonna gonna expose Celtics being a fraud

34. Did the knicks lose the randle trade 🤔

35. I hope we see Marc Davis in the next game.

36. So this is the best desk ESPN can muster up on a Monday night huh

37. Nah how did the mavs get cooper, im still not over this

38. Loudest the Knick fans have gotten is chanting airball to the guy chewing their asses.

39. So cooper Flagg to the mavs and the Knicks have 4ft at the half…league really said “yeah it’s rigged what are u gonna do about it”

40. I won $2k by putting Mavs win the first pick

    Easiest money of my life lol, knew that rigged shit was gona happen

41. This halftime crew a lot better than the Stephen A halftime crew

42. Why is she yelling

43. It’s really funny how the Knicks are up in the series but the way the panel are talking about it is as if they are down 3 games

44. Brunson’s whistle is as good as KAT’s is bad.

45. The refs are bad, we all know that.

    But I swear, the Celtics home broadcasting crew is less biased towards Boston than Doris Burke. It’s actually insane how bad she is.

46. There’s bitches who put up a better fight than these soft ass shit Knick’s. Mfs bending over and taking this pounding. 

    Just another day at work. Brother ain’t even break a sweat. Knick’s getting their ass beat like new guy style! Just by Tatum looking at them crazy! The crazy eyes.

47. I’m not even a fan of the Knicks, but even I have to acknowledge that this is fucking pathetic!

    15 free throw attempts for Boston to only 4 for New York… that’s some 2002 Kings/Lakers Game 6 bullshit (and I’m sorry Kings fans).

48. Knicks Fans:

    > “The game is rigged because the NBA doesn’t want basketball to be popular in New York!”

49. Poor Windy getting unfathomably mogged on this panel rn 😂😂

    He’s still my dog tho, love that dude

50. Brian Windhorst looks like the poster child for American obesity
