NOT DEAD YET: The Celtics Respond Like The Champions They Are By Blowing Out The Knicks To Keep Their Season Alive

THAT’S WHAT I’M FUCKING TALKING ABOUT!!!!!

The Celtics has every reason to pack this game in and focus on their offseason. Plenty of teams would quit in their spot. Down 3-1, franchise player suffers a horrific injury, Knicks with all the momentum, we see that shit all the time

BUT THAT IS NOT WHAT CHAMPIONS DO

Champions fight. Champions find a way. Champions say fuck everything else and go out and get a win to keep their season alive, and that is exactly what this team did. Easily one of the most inspiring 48 minutes of basketball you could ever possibly see. 

Jaylen Brown…GAME OF HIS LIFE

Derrick White…..BALD AND PERFECT

Luke Kornet……THE BEST CENTER IN THE NBA SINCE RUSSELL

With their backs up against it, every player (minus KP) delivered. How the hell would they respond without Tatum?

The same way they won the title.

TOGETHER.

They finally didn’t blow a 20 point lead at home, imagine that! You’re allowed to actually WIN those games! What a concept!!

Joe pushed all the right buttons including sitting KP for the entire half and blessing us with Luke Kornet minutes. I am fairly certain my soul left my body on his reverse alley oop, I think he had what, 7 blocks or some shit? Absolute MONSTER.

And look, there is still a LONG way to go. MSG on Friday is going to be a war zone. All the Celts did tonight was just give them another shot. Let the doubt start to creep in for the Knicks. All the pressure is on them now. As long as the Celts play normal and to their standard, they can get this back to the Garden for a Game 7.

We’ll dive in more in the morning. For now, we exhale.

WHAT A FUCKING WIN
