The Boston Celtics are down two gut-punches to none on this second spherical collection towards the New York Knicks. In each video games they led by 20 factors and each instances they couldn’t execute down the stretch. They aren’t accomplished, this can be a 7 sport collection. However they’ve lowered their margin of error considerably.
On the optimistic facet, I nonetheless really feel in my coronary heart of hearts that the Celtics are the higher workforce. They’ve the expertise, matchups, and on-paper benefits to win 4 of the following 5 video games. I picked them to brush the collection and nonetheless consider they are going to win out.
Nevertheless, we realized in 2023 enjoying the Miami Warmth that generally the opposite workforce simply out-executes you. They bought down 3-0 in that collection and made a livid comeback try that ended up really fizzling out in sport 7 (partially as a result of Tatum’s injured ankle). That’s the factor that may occur whenever you don’t deal with the early video games.
So now I open the dialogue to you. Do you continue to consider that the Celtics are profitable this factor? Or do you suppose it’s extra practical to confess they’re doubtless accomplished?
